The Towers that Stood
Written by Steven Haslek
Many long nights to civil-peace we fought,
Far from home in a desert sand slumber,
Towers of glory, hath crumbled to naught,
War to redress an infamous number.
Thousands now no longer present today,
Our interest wanes, their fam'lies doth cry,
Support the brave fighters, cut-down each day,
On eagle's wings they to the clouds up high.
At odds issuing to the Pres'dent ere,

For they hath naught could find sins of man there.
The price we must judge, or we may yet fail.
For freedom we stand, and justice we need;
