GROUND ZERO
words and music -- Kerry Prep © 2002

ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A FIREMAN
ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A HERO
NOTHING ELSE WOULD DO FOR ME, JUST FIREMAN
BUT NOTHING QUITE PREPARED ME FOR GROUND ZERO !

I COULD TELL FROM THE SCENE THIS WOULD NOT BE ROUTINE
THERE WAS CHAOS, CONFUSION -- I HAD NO ILLUSION
MUCH WORSE THAN I FEARED

THE SENIOR COMMAND WOULD GET THE UPPER HAND
BUT WHEN I LOOKED AROUND THERE WERE NONE TO BE FOUND
THEY HAD ALL DISAPPEARED !

LIKE A BLIZZARD, SO BLINDING, YET QUIET
AND THE THICK BLACK SMOKE FILLING THE VOID
HEARD THE TOWER WENT DOWN, DIDN'T BUY IT
HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THAT BE DESTROYED?

LIKE A PHALANX OF SOLDIERS WE MARCHED ALONG
WERE THERE FEELINGS OF DOUBT? NOT A SHRED
THIS BOSOM OF BROTHERS SO BRAVE AND STRONG
THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE DEAD !

ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A FIREMAN
ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A HERO
NOTHING ELSE WOULD DO FOR ME, JUST FIREMAN
BUT NOTHING QUITE PREPARED ME FOR GROUND ZERO !

THERE'S NOTHING MORE HUMBLING WHEN BUILDINGS ARE CRUMBLING
AND YOU'RE RUNNING IN WHILE THEY'RE ALL RUNNING OUT
AND THEY SAY "MAKE IT STOP!"

I HEAR VERY FEW CRIES AND THE STING IN MY EYES
HAS ME FIGHTING TO BREATHE AS THE STAIRWAYS I WEAVE
ON MY WAY TO THE TOP

A SURREALISTIC LACK OF DIRECTION
WHETHER NORTH OR SOUTH I COULDN'T TRUST
IN THE SHATTERED GLASS SAW MY REFLECTION
THEN A BRIGHT BLINDING FLASH . . . AND I'M DUST !

BUT I'M ONLY HUMAN WITH CRACKS AND FLAWS
SUPER POWERS I DO NOT POSSESS
THEY SAY THAT I DIED FOR A NOBLE CAUSE
I WISH I COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING LESS !

ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A FIREMAN
ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO BE A HERO
NOTHING ELSE WOULD DO FOR ME, JUST FIREMAN
BUT NOTHING QUITE PREPARED ME FOR GROUND ZERO !

A SURREALISTIC LACK OF DIRECTION
WHETHER NORTH OR SOUTH I COULDN'T TRUST
IN THE SHATTERED GLASS SAW MY REFLECTION
THEN A BRIGHT, BLINDING FLASH . . .
