Surrounded by absolute despair

Hatred blackens water and air

Land and flame both turning black

Devils always on my back

But I hold on

Day, dusk, and dawn

One day I'll be gone

But for now I fight on

I fly on wings of the joyful

I fly on wings of the joyful

Fly high on wings of the joyful

I fly on wings of the joyful

Days are black and nights are cold

While our lives are bought and sold

Demons trying to pull our strings

To kick us down and sever our wings

But I hold on

Day, dusk, and dawn

One day I'll be gone

But for now I fight on

Wings of the joyful

And I spread my wings

Over horrible things

As I see this planet die

At least I can say "I tried"

I fly on wings of the joyful

I fly on wings of the joyful

Fly high on wings of the joyful

I fly on wings of the joyful

Wings of the joyful
