Beneath the Stained Glass
Beneath the stained glass all is calm
outside the heavens cry
But one man sits and never moves
Sits by the candle light.
The earth is shaking trembling feet
running for their lives
The towers fall and kill them all
Beneath the sunlit sky.
Dust and ash and broken steel
Amidst a silent goodbye.
Goodbye.
