Using lyrics like “Prays on her knees as the towers fold,” which is a reference to the 9/11 attacks, they describe people’s loss of assurance in their faith and religion after such a tragedy. This song references several tragic moments in American history. The song starts with a slow tempo and gradually builds until it gets to the climax, where they sing “towers crumble, heroes die,” It so clearly shows the anger, confusion, and sorrow from the day, all in just one song.

It is thought-provoking to look back on the ways in which these attacks sparked a wave of music that is still one of our most significant ways to remember and commemorate those who died. Thousands donated blood, enlisted in the military, and mourned together and in the wake of the tragedy, music was created. The cultural influence of that day is not nearly as significant as its unspeakable death toll, but it saw the United States come together in acts of patriotism and community.
The terrorist attacks of Septemset in motion events that would change the course of life in the U.S.
