الأغاني: Linkin Park. A Thousand Suns. The Radiance.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried.
Most people were silent.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince
that he should do his duty, and to impress him,

takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
