Two towers lay, destroyed and lifeless
Devastation blanketing America
Once a trademark, now a memory
September 11, 2001
A date forever engraved in our history
A day two towers lay, destroyed and lifeless
Two planes fuming with hatred
One mission, successfully completed
Once a trademark, now a memory
Tragic calls in desperation
Rooms watching in contained tears and silence
Two towers lay, destroyed and lifeless
Families forever mortified
A catastrophe never forgotten
Once a trademark, now a memory
Lives lost, heroes defined
Our world reuniting as one.
Once a trademark, now a memory
Two towers lay, destroyed and lifeless
