[Spoken Intro: Chrigel Glanzmann]

In the hallways of eternity, their names echo

Defying the laws of time

Thousands of years of evolution later

We light a candle to salute them

But the wind of our sins expels its flame

Leaving us again and again in the ignorant darkness

[Verse 1: Melissa Bonny]

I watch the seasons die, oh

Still this melody repeats again

We pray for a second chance, in vain

To change, to heal the world we set in flames

[Pre-Chorus: Melissa Bonny]

Our legacy, ruins and tears, a wasteland

Evolution is a lie we all fell for

Now all I want to know is the reason

[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]

Why can't we learn and rise

Above the inferno

I hear the angels cry

Before they fall

Why can't we realize

And break the cycle

Open up the gates of heaven

Once more

[Verse 2: Melissa Bonny]

They went through storms and told their tales

So we could learn to sail another way

[Pre-Chorus: Melissa Bonny]

Blindfolded fools, this is the age of madness

Evolution is a plague we all ignored

Can anyone explain the reason

[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]

Why can't we learn and rise

Above the inferno

I hear the angels cry

Before they fall

Why can't we realize

And break the cycle

Open up the gates of heaven

Once more

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Melissa Bonny]

If only we could learn and rise

Above the inferno

I hear the angels cry

Before they fall

Why can't we realize

And break the cycle

Open up the gates of heaven

Once more
