[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
