Terrorstrikes from the left,
Itslips in from the right.
Terrorshocks us in our sleep,
Notonly in the night.
Weknow not the manner of our death.
Butin terror it is not right.
Terroris a primal fear,
Adark shadow on the light.
Ofour life and happiness.
Athreat to our greatest might.
Wecannot let terror defeat us.
Wemust rise to the fight.
Andfight not with hate and vengeance,
Twowrongs do not make a right.
Whenall ideology is enlightened,
Andhope for all is in sight.
Terrorwill vanish from our lives.
Andend the long, terror-filled night.
