Our Towers (Rock Version) Lyrics
They took away our towers On a calm September day They killed our New York Families And turned our hearts to clay
They took away our towers We saw them coming down The Taliban, the Taliban A gang of faceless clowns
They took away our towers And left a dusty hole The skyline changed forever But they cannot have our soul
And from the dusty rubble Rose the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear
They took away our towers The heartache yet remains On the steel we place our flowers Hold hands and sing refrains
They took away our towers A symbol of our success They cannot have our faith in God For that we're truly blessed
They took away our towers The tallest shadows gone And where the shadows used to be The birds still sing their song
And from the dusty rubble Rose the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear
They took away our towers The reason seems obscure Those faceless men with yellow hearts The Taliban for sure
They took away our towers A monetary loss But the lives now gone forever Are remembered by the cross
They took away our towers A cowardly cunning dread Their insanity and twisted minds Their plans will soon be dead
And from the dusty rubble Rose the ones we hold so dear To a higher place in a brighter space As our freedom bell rings clear It's our freedom bell you hear
It's our freedom bell they fear
