On 9/11, a song which speaks of the terrible damage religion and power can do, when in the hands of those who seek to replace love with hate, support with destruction, trust with fear and inclusion with exclusion.
A decade on I feel we have still not reversed the damage of 9/11, nor heard one correct answer about what really happened. However, today is a day of Remembrance for all those who died on that achingly sad day.
"Silver wings from the blue Crash and burn cut in two Free to fly foreign shores Free to die for your cause ... Born in grief, raised in chains Blind belief, fear no pain Learn to fight, learn to hate Life is war, death is great
The world is your enemy God is your king And if it's His Will You'll destroy everything You show no mercy for innocents Pity nor shame Sting dragon, sting
Dragonfly, Dragonfly
Is your faith so correct It requires no respect For the good and the pure And the wrongs they endure Those who live and let live Knowing life is to give They've a right to belong Ride the bus, sing their song
Crash into satelites Blood on your wings You're jealous of sunlight And other of God's things The sun shines for everyone Peace is a blessing you earn Burn dragon, burn
