terror

the battle is over
the war has been won
but i think this terror
has only begun

we are the only superpower
or so we do say
helping the world
with all its dismay

yet people in shadows
they wish us ill will
they mean to destroy us
to hate, seek, and kill

it started, two buildings
that fell to the found
a silent war broke out
a new hate was found

you hear mother's all crying
for sons they do miss
some little girls'
have no daddy's to kiss

the thing about terror
we don't know till it's done
no time to prepare for
you only can run

don't back down from this monster
that can cause us great pain
cause our only strength's knowing
freedom will reign
