I came upon that place, today
Where almost a thousand days ago
I stood and watched the world explode
And the sky come a-tumblin' down.

I walked those cobblestones, today
A thousand mornings since that fateful
-Mark'd in memory-lived in infamy-
Day when the sky came down.

And standing on that corner, today
A thousand mornings hence, I turned
My gaze upon that empty place
And remembered the sky coming down.

I remembered the roar and the scream and the sound
As the sky was torn to the ground.
As the sky came a-tumblin' down.
