We know you are among us.
You live next door or just down the street.
You plot and you plan behind closed doors
as you prepare for our defeat!
Already you've struck with your terror of death,
You revel in the pain of the masses!
In your own evil way, in just minutes,
you blotted out the sun with smoke and ashes.
You took the innocent lives of our loved ones.
You broke thousands of hearts with your deeds.
You must feel very accomplished
while you watch as we cry and grieve!
We will rise from these ashes!
Our tears will bathe the wounds of our hearts.
We will join hands and rise up against you,
and you will discover you were not so smart!
That which you sought to destroy
is rising to show you it cannot be killed!
We now have been tested by fire
and our SPIRITS WILL NOT BE STILLED!
The evil that you have done
has reminded us what we stand for.
You brought us back to GOD and COUNTRY
and our patriotism doth soar!
The very thing that you sought to destroy,
you rekindled in the hearts of each woman and man.
You've done more to rekindle the spirit of love
than the words of any man can!
It is only a matter of time,
before your evil will come to an end.
If you feel your reward is in the HEREAFTER,
make RESERVATIONS
for your JOURNEY will SOON BEGIN!
