Terror found us today
Asleep, unaware
Complacent
We were
Invincible
Immune
The Atlantic
The Pacific
Firewalls, protectors
No longer
Ostrich raise your eyes
Different world, from beyond our shores
Coarser than we have known
Touched us today
Shook the bear
From its slumber again
Another day of infamy
To be avenged
