This song is dedicated to the memory of Nathan Maddox loved by all who knew him, who was struck by lightning as a result of the fall of the Twin Towers that had been a lightning rod to the city.
lyrics
Epic rain fell in the city
Hot Summer electrical currents
With no intention of divining lightning
Dancing with her on the roof with the moon
Round, round, back around
Pillar of fire, pillar of smoke
Magic carpet, fire tiger
Dragon moon, moon mirror,
White night, black day
Iron force, silver sheen
This assassin I've never seen
She awoke all alone
He was gone, once so alive
Magnetic buildings brace wheeling stars,
Can shatter a ship or touch the earth
Round, round, back around
Pillar of fire, pillar of smoke
Magic carpet, fire tiger
Dragon moon, moon mirror,
White night, Black day
Iron force, silver sheen
This assassin I've never seen
