Take a look, mankind, what have we done?
Walk on silent, what has become?
This age we lead that leaves regret
We move forward and we forget
Look now, mankind, what has become?

See in these eyes, a broken man
In worlds different, who understands
What justice have you, to take away
The innocence of yesterday?
See now, mankind, who understands

I fall to your knees, I crash to the ground
As I cry out your name, I didn't hear a sound
If your view ever changes, I hope one day it will
Until a phoenix rises, I stand still

Guide me father, what can be done?
You have the answers, I want the truth
Can I forget, what engraved my mind?
Can I rebuild what I had inside?
Tell me father, tell me the truth

Ohh, look now mama, what can be done?
In time, life changed under this sun
That never sets in this gray sky
Where everyone's attempt to try
Tell me mama, what can be one?

I fall to your knees, I crash to the ground
As I cry out your name, I didn't hear a sound
If your view ever changes, I hope one day it will
Until a phoenix rises, I stand still

As I fall to your knees, I crash to the ground
As I cry out your name, oblivious to sound
If your view someday changes, I hope today it will
Until that moment, until the truth, until mind rests
Until it’s in you, until the spirit flies into forever

Until the phoenix rises, I stand still
Until the phoenix rises, I stand still
Until the phoenix rises, I stand still, ohh
