The Longest Year

September 11th, 2002

In honor of those who fell that bitter September morn'

Time binds the grievous tear
with freedom still this morning clear.

Steadfast hold to our treasured life
beyond the fear of terror's strife.

With heads held high we march the field
with Patriot heroes who refused to yield

to honor those who fell that morn'
with dragon's breath in justice borne.

We stand united in our brethren's cry
for fire's resolve in your thundering sky.

This solemn mile of war torn road
we grievously carry the mournful load.

But, mistake not the lamenting free
for victory's report to the enemy.

For, while we mourne the hero's soul
Retribution's bell does soundly toll.
