In Memoriam
The
face of terror raised its head,
Our
sons and daughters now are dead!
And
who will weep for them?
We
will weep for them!
Demonic
fiends broke through our door,
And
mamas and papas are no more.
And
who will sing lullaby’s for them?
We
will sing for them!
Fiends!
They came in demented rage,
Sent
grandmas and grandpas to the grave!
And
who will pray for them?
We
will pray for them!
What
deathly force those cowards ushered!
Taking
with them our sisters and brothers!
And
who will speak for them?
We
will speak for them!
Without
warning came they like wolves!
Wreaking
havoc on our friends!
And
who will judge for them?
We
will judge for them!
As
for the dead, what pain they felt?
As
twisted steel, bricks, mortar, melt!
And
who will bury them?
We
will bury them.
They
came! They demolished our beautiful city!
Despoiled
our buildings without pity!
And
who will rebuild for them?
We
will rebuild for them!
Defenseless
all they lived, they died.
They
got no pity when they cried!
And
who shall avenge them?
We
will avenge them!
And
that date, eleventh September,
We
will always, always, remember!
And
who will remember them?
We
will remember them!
And
who will repay the cowards?
We
will repay them, a thousand fold.
And
we, the living,
We
will weep for them.
We
will sing for them.
We
will pray for them.
We
will speak for them.
We
will judge for them.
We
will bury them.
We
will rebuild for them.
We
will avenge them.
We
will remember them,
Ad
infinitum, in memoriam!
Prince John Chaber
