Open your eyes
Smoke fills the skys
Office buildings
Become funeral pyres
Everyday people
Jihads sacrifice
Crashing down
We watched the sights
We heard the sounds
The brightest twins
Made the darkest tombs
And through the smoke
Just a black sunrise
You can't close your eyes
To a black sunrise

Written 9/12 2001. may the Goddess give us strength.
