I just got this via email from the band MacTalla Mor. What an awesome song!
Listen to the Song Here
Flames shining bright in the darkest of nights, as they turn towards the light of the fire
Faces grow red as the hoses are fed, as they turn towards the light of the fire
Smoke bellows black as the water attacks, as they turn towards the light of the fire
September skies blue as the airplanes they flew, as they turn towards the light of the fire
They climbed up Jacob’s Ladder,
They climbed higher and higher
They climbed up Jacob’s Ladder,
They climbed into the fire
Ashes to ash and the memories they flash, as they turn towards the light of the fire
The metal will rust, so as dust to dust, they turn towards the light of the fire
A time and a place and a season for grace, as they turn towards the light of the fire
Though deep down they know that they cannot go home, still they charged towards the light of the fire
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
God’s angels ascended into heaven, gates wide open on 9/11
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
Climbing high on Jacob’s Ladder, they would never return from the fire
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
They climbed towards eternal fire, to a warrior’s funeral pyre
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire
Higher, Higher, Higher, they turned towards the light of the fire (Repeat 4x)
Flames shining bright in the darkest of nights, as they turn towards the light of the fire
September skies blue as the airplanes they flew and they turn towards the light of the fire
They climbed up Jacob’s Ladder,
They climbed higher and higher
They climbed up Jacob’s Ladder,
They climbed into the fire…………
