As the horror unfolded, we could not comprehend
How such hatred and evil existed
And men with their orders to kill, would not bend
With a mind that was warped and was twisted

But our nation rose up through the dust and the pain
Still reeling with grief and with sadness
To hunt down the ones who had shown such disdain
And put an end to their mayhem and madness

The fight must go on, till the terrorist foe
Is defeated, and under our feet
With the help of our God, to the battle we go
Where the foe will go down in defeat
