The Evil Has Landed Lyrics

The sky began to fall, ripping open a path up to Heaven
Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh
Steel crumbling frames, the scales of justice are decimated
Hate ignites the flames, New York city incinerated
See the flames on the river, is this our judgement day?
Praying hands of a killer when evil flies our way
Our way

The towers got hit, a steel bird with wings of destruction
As the building split, the skyline has been deconstructed
So many people killed, two thousand nine hundred and seventy four
Innocent blood spilled, extremist plotting a holy war
See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate
Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate
Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day?
Time to stand and deliver when evil flies our way
Flies our way

We will pick up the pieces
We never cast the first stone
Through all the bereavement
We will rebuild our home

The sky began to fall, ripping opening a path up to Heaven
Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh
See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate
Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate
Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day?
Time to stand and deliver when evil flies our way
Flies our way

This is an awesome sounding song, pity the lyrics are so blindly 'america-did-nothing-wrong.' "we never cast the first stone" ?? Give me a break

I echo ben D618's position on this one.

I was devastated to see a band which I hold in such high esteem, both musically and lyrically, put out a song which casts the events of 911 in such a xenophobic and acquiescent manner, especially in light of the politically subversive nature of much of their previous work. This song, musically awesome as it is, presents the horrific events of 911 as an attack on the American people without any critical engagement with the reasons for the attack and the possibility of its falsity and/or inauthenticity. It hurts my sou.l

The song, as the entire álbum, is great but testament seems to close their eyes When the subject is UNited States' sins, In geenhouse effect is the sane thing
