I met strangers and madmen, killers and junks Religious fanatics, rockers and punks Became a flame of a burning youth I found a different kind of truth
Raise your wings like fire Like a phoenix you will rise Speak your words of fire Feel the anger in their eyes
I lost a best friend by suicide By brutal murder another one died I lost them by drugs and accidents An evil game; I can't see the end
Raise your wings like fire Like a phoenix you will rise Speak your words of fire Feel the anger in their eyes
