It was Tuesday afternoon,
I got home from work quite soon,
I turned on the tv and,
What did I see?
I saw World War Three,
Staring back at me,
I thought I might wake up to reality,
There wasn't gonna be,
Yeah,
And all I could see was,
This horrific tragedy.

In the Silence Of The City,
No mobile phones ring,
In the Silence Of The City,
You cannot hear a thing,
In the Silence Of The City,
The smiles are washed away,
In the Silence Of The City,
There's nothing left to say.

And New York, New York,
So good they named you twice,
The city that never sleeps,
Do you believe your eyes?
And by this act of war,
Big apple is eaten to the core,
And two tall towers,
Crumble to the floor,
And Manhattan isn't there,
It's there no more!

In the Silence Of The City,
No mobile phones ring,
In the Silence Of The City,
You cannot hear a thing,
In the Silence Of The City,
The smiles are washed away,
In the Silence Of The City,
There's nothing left to say.

And hardened New York cops,
With tears in their eyes,
Tired & worn out fire-fighters,
Hoping to hear cries,
And emergency & medics,
Overcome by exhaustion,
And all rescue workers,
Filled with deep emotion.

In the Silence Of The City,
No mobile phones ring,
In the Silence Of The City,
You cannot hear a thing,
In the Silence Of The City,
The smiles are washed away,
In the Silence Of The City,
There's nothing left to say.

The eleventh of September,
Two thousand & one,
The world trade centre,
And the U.S. Pentagon,
These pictures that we see,
Almost defies belief,
On the streets of New York City,
People are hit by sheer grief.

In the Silence Of The City,
No mobile phones ring,
In the Silence Of The City,
You cannot hear a thing,
In the Silence Of The City,
The smiles are washed away,
In the Silence Of The City,
There's nothing left to say.

The New York City skyline,
We all admired before,
The tall twin towers,
Simply are there no more.

In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence Of The City,
In the Silence.

Era uma tarde de terça
Eu tinha acabado de chegar do trabalho
Eu liguei a TV e, o que eu vi?
Eu vi a terceira guerra mundial
Bem na minha frente
Eu achei que deveria acordar pra realidade
Não estava indo, yeah!
E tudo que pude ver era
Essa horrível tragédia.

Refrão:
No silêncio da cidade,
Nenhum telefone celular toca.
No silêncio da cidade,
Você não consegue escutar nada.
No silêncio da cidade,
Os sorrisos são apagados.
No silêncio da cidade,
Não há mais nada pra dizer.

Nova Iorque, Nova Iorque,
Tão bom que te nomearam duas vezes.
A cidade que nunca dorme,
Você acredita nos seus olhos?
Se eu dissecasse a guerra,
Big Apple está comida até o final
E duas grandes torres,
Desintegram-se no chão
E Manhattan não está lá.
Não está mais lá!

Refrão

E os duros guardas de Nova Iorque,
com lágrimas nos olhos,
Cansados e vestindo roupas de bombeiro usadas.
Esperando ouvir choros
E emergências e médicos
Ultrapassados pela exaustão
E todos os trabalhadores de resgate
Preenchidos pela emoção.

Refrão

O onze de setembro
Dois mil e um
O World Trade Center
E o Pentágono
Essas fotos que nós vemos
Quase desafiam a crença.
Nas ruas de Nova Iorque
As pessoas são atingidas pela mudança de rumo para a dor.

Refrão

O horizonte de Nova Iorque
Todos nós admiramos antes.
As duas grandes torres,
Simplesmente não estão mais lá.

No silêncio da noite... (x6)
