about

Like many, I was very affected by the 9/11 terrorist attack on the USA and the subsequent events. To kill in the name of God strikes me as being absurd and ironic. The images of the huge, broken towers stayed with me, and I pictured a beautiful garden of remembrance one day taking their place.

lyrics

Garden of Remembrance/Nine-Eleven
(words & music by Nicolette Aubourg © 2005)

In the garden of remembrance
we sat down and thought about
those final hours and what it is
that we all share:
the same God,
or the same fear.

In the garden of remembrance
those left behind cling to their grief,
or feel the guilt of being alive,
bathed in sunlight -
as it is now,
as it was before.

There’s nothing sacred, nothing holy in the aftermath -
the twisting of the truth, twisting of steel, beauty and youth:
no holy war, no sacrifice.

In the garden of remembrance
we sang songs into the night
in candlelight, sorrow and pride.
And we all shared
the same God,
the same fear.

There’s nothing sacred, nothing holy in the aftermath -
the twisting of the truth, twisting of steel, beauty and youth:
no holy war, no sacrifice;
no holy war, no sacrifice …
