Will the victims shadow fall

So England was attacked this morning. Four terrorists bombings in London. Some thought it was because London got the Olympic bid. Some thought it was because of the G8 meeting in Scotland.
While Tony Blair believes the timing was due to the G8 summit, the group claiming responsibility is doing it because of Iraq and Afganistan. They want everyone out. They are threatening “Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments.”

How strange the whole world gets when the attack strikes close to home.

A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they’ve never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret

The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother’s blood machine
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you home pretty soon
And now

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they’ll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I’ll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You’ll be better off too soon
You’ll be better off when you get home

The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother’s blood machine
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you home pretty soon
And now

For you,
I’d do anything just to make you happy,
hear you tell me that you’re proud of me
For them,
I’ll kill anything
cut the throats of babies for them
break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say: I love you too

The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift

Will,
Do the children really understand the things you did to them?
And why oh why…
Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
we’re coming home pretty soon
Coming home

In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry?
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the fence
One among the fence

We’re coming home
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother’s blood machine
Man your battle stations
We’ll have you home pretty soon
tonight

Hehehe, my dad said the same thing. We drop bombs, do massive damage, and don’t care about it. But a small explosion and we’re in an uproar, pointing fingers in all directions but our own.

I like Coheed and Cambria’s sniper song. I have no idea what the name of it is, something about “good shot, sniper. I shoot, you run”. Anyway, I like it, its a good song. There are so many reasons that could be the cause of the London bombing. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what comes of it. I’m glad that it wasn’t nearly as catastrophic as it could have been.
