And The Twins They Were No More

Another day, another month, another year goes by
No-one can believe it's true, no more towers in the sky
Daylight wanes across the city, rubble piles so high
Tears cut paths from sunken eyes until there's no tear left to cry
Happiness has faded, we're left with the saddest sigh
Each man, each woman and each child, together they will die
Two beacons of the world so free no longer catch the eye
Who would believe such tragedy, we ask the question, "why?"
In a city of so many two birds of death did fly
No they have both crashed and burned, their names to death we tie
So now the streets are mourning, for there the dead do lie
The calm it is unnerving, the calm it does belie
Hating what the world's become (evil, slick and sly)
Eyes will finish crying and rivers will run dry
Yesterday will haunt us for the end, it may be nigh
We pray for our salvation and how we do try
Everyone is suffering, every girl and every guy
Right down to the last person, everyone, even I
Economics rule the world, what to sell or what to buy
Nations seek to be the best; they poke, they prod, they pry
Oracles smile down on us, they smile a smile so wry
Maybe we've forgotten them as we hide away so shy
Only we're happy like pigs in mud and the world's turned to a sty
Revelling in the world we've made, baked it like a pie
Etch out your tombstone and for a place in heaven vie
