Surrounded by absolute despair
Hatred blackens water and air
Land and flame both turning black
Devils always on my back

But I hold on
Day, dusk, and dawn
One day I'll be gone
But for now I fight on

I fly on wings of the joyful
I fly on wings of the joyful
Fly high on wings of the joyful
I fly on wings of the joyful

Days are black and nights are cold
While our lives are bought and sold
Demons trying to pull our strings
To kick us down and sever our wings

But I hold on
Day, dusk, and dawn
One day I'll be gone
But for now I fight on

Wings of the joyful

And I spread my wings
Over horrible things
As I see this planet die
At least I can say "I tried"

I fly on wings of the joyful
I fly on wings of the joyful
Fly high on wings of the joyful
I fly on wings of the joyful

Wings of the joyful
