The pulse of the world when it stopped for a day
From a clear blue sky to a smouldering grey
Unmerciful cruelty
Awakening rudely

Two evils grow
Willingly exchanging blows
Pentagon's financial goals exposed
They were shot from the sky

Duped, a nation in pain
Sacrificing lives for financial gain
Unmerciful cruelty
Awakening rudely

Two evils grow
Willingly exchanging blows
Pentagon's financial goals exposed
Paying with their lives

Threatening whose will?
Burning wreckage holes
Time is standing still
Out of sight, out of mind

Ground zero, petrified
Fiendish debates
NATO inflates
Fighting a cause with a biblical fate

Fighting a cause with a biblical fate
Out of sight, out of mind
It ends in tears
Distilling fears

Believing the lie
When cultures collide
When cultures collide
Out of sight, out of mind

Ground zero, petrified
