Black Sky Blues

The world spins slowly on the finger of time
As on a sunny day a storm cloud looms
Over goliath icons standing high
Towards them stolen eagles fly
And we sing the black sky blues

A fireball fills the jet-scarred sky
People jump into the thickening gloom
Towers crumble before our eyes
On television screens in every room
As we feel the black sky blues

A city fills with frightened cries
As heroes rush to quell the fumes
An entire country is asking why
Innocent people continue to die
We've got the black sky blues

And now an angry country lies
A giant awakened by painful news
Ready to strike once the sorrow subsides
But for now we mourn with saddened eyes
As we live the black sky blues
