Mutation—it is the key to our evolution.
It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet.
This process is slow and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

Attack on the White House
With bullets Kurt was doused
Mutant Freedom Now he wants
Alkali Lake, high up
Nothing here, but why
Is there a thought inside?
A normal man would've died
With claws made of adamantium
Nothing there so Logan heads home

They're just two of the many who will guard
The same men and women who fear and despise their kind
But if you think it's wrong
Go talk to Professor X and you will find
Even though he was called "Wheels" he's got a powerful mind
And his X-Men will save mankind

Chorus
Storm's been making her storms stronger
Jean's been thinking a whole lot harder
Scott's blasting rays from his visor
Stryker says Logan's a fighter
Kurt's porting a little bit faster
Rogue touches skin, takes their power
Bobby makes ice from water
Pyro's chillin' with his lighter

There's old Erik Lehnsherr
Friend of the Professor
His partner is Mystique
She changes to anyone and plays that game
She can be going around playing the victim or someone with great physique
Mangeto's Eric's real name
Says, "The war has begun!"

They are the ones against the X-Men
Stryker wants all mutants dead unless they're working for him
Just like Lady Deathstryke
She goes and fights Logan—a fight of torture
In the end he stabs her with a tube of adamantium
And the dam's about to break

Chorus

How could this man we call Stryker turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Was almost the X-Men's killer
The dam broke and there was a flood
Jean split the water and saved the X-Jet
Through levitating them
But in the end you'll see
Phoenix rising!!!!

Jean is a fighter and she is now the Phoenix
She is gonna be back
In X-Men 3

Chorus 2x
