"Sacrificed Sons" - Dream Theater (GREAT song)

[noahmijo]

I thought this was a great addition to DT's newest work "Octavarium" It basically talks about how religious fanaticism is a grave threat to the world in this case in the context of 9/11 (In their previous album they addressed religious fanaticism in the more Christian context)

Anyways you gotta hear the actual song and how they produce with the news clips ect it's amzing.

Walls are closing
Anxiously
Channel surfing
Frantically

Burning City
Smoke and fire
Planes we're certain
Faith inspired

No clues
A complete surprise
Who'll be
Coming home tonight

Heads all turning
Towards the sky
Towers crumble
Heroes die

Who would wish this
On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their Sacrificed sons
All praise their Sacrificed sons

Teach them
What to think and feel
Your ways
So enlightening

Words they preach
I can't relate
If God's true Love
Are acts of Hate

Who would wish this
On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their Sacrificed sons
All praise their Sacrificed sons

God on high
Our mistake
Will mankind be extinct
There's no time
Time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heaven's sake

2. Octavarium is nothing short of amazing.

Just bought it Tuesday, already one of my favorites! I enjoy how the Root of All Evil is a follow-up to This Dying Soul.
