Ash Flutters in the sky

Among the winds of day

Gray among the walls of steel

In all surrounding places

——————————–

Ash flutters in the sky

Turning morning cold and dark

Among the sounds of chaos

Echoing in massive tower halls

——————————-

Ash flutters in the sky

Blanketing the crowds below

While sirens blare

With the heroic rushing in

——————————-

Ash flutters in the sky

Coming to rest upon the ruins

Of twisted steel

And broken concrete

——————————-

Ash flutters in the sky

But through it we rise

Like the phoenix of fokelore

Refusing to give in

——————————-

Ash flutters in the sky

But now brought fourth with joy

Our nation’s colors displayed for show

As we prove we did not break
