            <text>CATHEDRAL OF TEARS

&#13;
CATHEDRAL OF TEARS&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Jutting from the rubble&#13;
Up through the smoky haze&#13;
Like spires of a Cathedral&#13;
Where the "believer" prays.&#13;
&#13;
Seven stories of heartache&#13;
Left from the hundred-ten&#13;
Of those two mighty towers&#13;
Never to be seen again.&#13;
&#13;
For thousands who have perished&#13;
And the loved ones they leave&#13;
A monument to all of us&#13;
Who shed our tears, and grieve.&#13;
&#13;
In its eerie setting&#13;
There was a sort of beauty&#13;
Standing guard over those&#13;
Who died doing their duty.&#13;
&#13;
A strange sense of peace&#13;
Amidst the scene of ruin&#13;
As others search for comrades&#13;
Who died, doing what they’re doing.&#13;
&#13;
There’s been heroes by the hundreds&#13;
And some stories, never known&#13;
But in God’s Cathedral&#13;
They’ll sit upon His throne.&#13;
&#13;
The "Cathedral Of Tears"&#13;
Will last in our mind’s eye&#13;
As we bow our heads&#13;
And ask, "Why, dear Lord?  Why?" &#13;
&#13;
