Lyric discussion by Idan 

This lyric was written by LaBrie and is obviously his take on the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Definitely. I developed my suspicions as soon as I started listening carefully to the words. Because my only Dream Theater album is "Greatest Hit...And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs", that is the only version I have ever heard, and it is missing the "samples from 9/11" referred to in the annotation on Dark Lyrics. (The album also lacks a printed copy of the lyrics.) There is one thing curious about its placement in this album, though: Endless Sacrifice is song number nine on Disc 1, and Sacrificed Sons is number eleven. Coincidence?

An error occured.
