"Legends" lyrics

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

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

Our legacy, ruins and tears, a wasteland
Evolution is a lie we all fell for
Now all I want to know is the reason

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

They went through storms and told their tales
So we could learn to sail another way

Blindfolded fools, this is the age of madness
Evolution is a plague we all ignored
Can anyone explain the reason

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

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
