I look, and wonder why this world of ours has come so far into the clutches of this "progress" As disease is cured, our race finds another through methods known as foolish through the years and years of past As criminals are freed to kill another individual who then becomes statistics on a Bureaucratic file As justice cries, if folds, we feel society turn to ways barbaric from the ancient ways of old
We ride upon the wings of sorrow We sail the stormy sea We ride upon the wings of sorrow Into our destiny
On the wings of sorrow On the wings of sorrow On the wings of sorrow On the wings of sorrow
See me, I'm a different kind Outcast of society Infirm of mind
As I gaze upon society, it fills me with despair, our leaders worship guns and missiles Messengers of death and citizens but pawns in politicians' foolish acts, the ones to blame are hidden Too scared to face the ones who gave their life. Who cares? It's time to take a stand Through peace and love the world can reach Eden again. It's time to stop the foolish wars And pray for lasting peace, pray the world will never ride the sullen wings again
We ride upon the wings of sorrow We sail the stormy sea We ride upon the wings of sorrow Into our destiny
On the wings of sorrow On the wings of sorrow We ride on the wings of sorrow On the wings of sorrow
