I look and wonder why this world of ours

Has come so far into the clutches of "progress"

As disease is cured our race finds another through sethads

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

And justice cries, it 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...

See me, I'm a different kind

Outcast of society, infirm of mind

As I gaze upon society, it fills me with despair

The leaders worship guns and missiles, messengers of death

And citizens but pawns in politicians foolish acts

The ones to blame are hidden

Scared to face the ones who gave their life

Who cares? It's time to take a stand

Through pace and love the world can reach Eden again

It's time to down the tools of war and pray for lasting peace

And then 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...
