Subject: RE: Anti-war songs to fit the occasion
Well after correcting the rythym, tune and intended meaning. This is what I came up with.

In the early morning hours, there were ghosts up in the sky. In a land that loved its freedom, and the towers that stood high. In the early morning hours an enemy unknown, was on their way, there was no warning, on that crystal clear September day They loved their God and aimed the planes for the wrath that he has wrought. Soon the enemy had a face that said "I'm innocent, you deserved what you got" ON 911 a faceless, enemy showered NY ...with PAPER, AIRPLANES AND BODIES... STEEL BLOOD AND GUTS. The Saudis are responsible, along with Allah's unholy love. IF you think it ends here, you surely must be nuts. After all the God damn wars we've had, for some God that is above, Is it time to drink some beer and sing [shouted]"lets give this god a shove". The faceless enemies were here and we scarcely gave a glance While in their hearts and minds was their Allah's violence. The love of God has promised you, that you'll change the course of time. The depth and horror of your hate, was to us, the greatest crime. Somewhere tonight, there is the man that plots his war. Plots the schemes, plots the deaths and how much it will cost. It is not for God , it is not for love but for a family he has lost. The war he wants is yet another holocaust. An eye for an eye, a scar in the sky, the shock and horror for families that cried. We will find a way, to teach you, its not a god who hated liberty, it was a bearded man that lied. Its not a god that hated liberty , it was a bearded man that lied. Don Hakman Oct.9, 2001
