Gone is the grand larceny of our souls.
Gone are the people who grovel for gold.
Gone is the sickness that fevered our brow.
Gone; the religion
That the state would endow.
We don't want the falsehoods
That blackened our land.
And we don't want the people
Who just wouldn't understand.
Woh-oh-hoh. Woh-oh-hoh.
We are transcending
Woh-oh-oh-oh
We are transcending
Look across the mountains,
Look across the plains.
They're burning our pine trees
And they're burning our grains.
The passions are rising
Like a great thunder cloud.
That covers the land
Like a huge funeral shroud.
The firestorm is growing
Like a great swollen sun
That consumes all the people.
Oh, just, see what we've done.
Woh-oh-hoh. Woh-oh-hoh.
We are transcending
Woh-oh-oh-oh
We are transcending
The ultimate disaster,
The ultimate fear.
They said we'd be buried.
Oh, they said it so clear.
The scourging zealots
had their ultimate plan.
To wipe out humanity
With the stroke of a pen.
In a mad eco-clensing,
That they didn't realize,
Would leave the survivors
To live their own lives.
Woh-oh-hoh. Woh-oh-hoh.
(We are transcending)
We awake our chains fall away.
We turn and face the sun
To greet a brand new day
With madness gone
Our future's now in play,
Our past consumed in fire.
(Woh-oh-oh-oh)
(We are transcending)
We can cleanse
Our souls in crystal rain.
And we'll run through
The fields of amber grain.
With our bare hands,
We can now attain
All that we require.
(Woh-oh-oh-oh)
(We are transcending)
We can seek
To raise our families
Where our children strive
To be what they can be.
We can watch
Them grow up tall and sweet
Beyond the dark empire.
(They failed to get us all)
All our lives
We'll spend breathing free.
We'll have liberty
From sea to endless sea.
We can choose
The path that we must seek
To find our heart felt desires.
Woh-oh-oh failed to get us all.
Yes, they failed to get us all.
Because they failed to get us all
