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
