Silent Skies

It's a rude awakening
 Who knew what today would bring
 Twin giants have been brought down to their knees
 I stand stunned and horrified
 Senselessly so many died
 Will the gods in heaven ever hear our pleas
 Underneath these Silent Skies
 Is there room for compromise
 Amidst our endless suffering and grief
 Only angels fly above
 Their capacity for love
 Tied forever to our dwindling belief
 We stand united filled with scorn
 So many countless souls to mourn
 The vultures peer towards opportunity
 Rushing in, though panic fueled
 Hastily the Barons ruled
 But at what cost to our fading Liberty?
 This has happened all before
 Recent news is ancient lore
 Only different fingers pointing out the blame
 No single engine overhead
 Once alive the skies are dead
 And with it Innocence will never be the same
