Silence of the city


It was Tuesday afternoon
I got home from work quite soon
I turned on the TV and what did I see?
I saw World War III staring back at me
I thought I might wake up to reality
There wasn't gonna be (yeah)
And all I could see was this horrific tragedy

In the silence of the city
No mobile phones ring
In the silence of the city
You cannot hear a thing
In the silence of the city
The smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say 


New York, New York,
so good they named you twice
the city that never sleeps
do you believe your eyes?
And by this act of war
The Big Apple is eaten to the core
And two tall towers
Crumble to the floor
And Manhattan isnt there
It's there no more

In the silence of the city
No mobile phones ring
In the silence of the city
You cannot hear a thing
In the silence of the city
The smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

 
And hardened New York cops
With tears in their eyes
Tired and worn out firefighters
Hoping to hear cries
And emergency medics
Overcome by exhaustion and all
Rescue workers filled with deep emotions

In the silence of the city
No mobile phones ring
In the silence of the city
You cannot hear a thing
In the silence of the city
The smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

 
The 11th of September 2001
The World Trade Center and the US Pentagon
These pictures that we see
Almost defies belief
On the streets of New York City,
People are hit by shear grief

In the silence of the city
No mobile phones ring
In the silence of the city
You cannot hear a thing
In the silence of the city
The smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say


The New York City Skyline
We all admired before,
Tall twin towers,
Simply are there no more
Silence of the city 
Silence of the city
Silence of the city
Silence of the city
Silence of the city
Silence of the city
Silence of the city
Silence....


I just love that song and thought it deserved its own post with loads of nice pictures <3
