Once I stood upon your lofty perch,
the view below caused me to search,
the city spread long and wide,
I gave no thought until you died
I watched in shock at your attack,
never dreaming it would break your back
You stood so tall, proud and straight,
all who were with you at heavens gate
My heart is heavy, a long time to mourn,
we won't forget, immortalized forever more
Rest quietly, and as you sleep,
remember we loved you, we continue to weep,
Never to be a fleeting thought gone by,
our memory of you will never die
As I now stand at your feet,
I realize the attack was their defeat,
as they caused you to tumble down,
a nation came together,
when you hit the ground
