The Phoenix

[Intro] The embers glow beneath the gray, The night is heavy, locked away. A spark ignites within the deep, Awakening from silent sleep. The Phoenix. [Verse1] I crumble down to piles of dust, Betrayed by time and hollow trust. The feathers turn to flakes of coal, A heavy weight upon my soul. The shadows dance around the pyre, I surrender to the growing fire. The heat consumes the path I tread, And memories burn until they’re dead. A final breath of smoke and light, Before I vanish from the sight. [Pre-Chorus] The flicker turns into a roar, I am not who I was before. The golden wings begin to spread, Rising up from all the dread. The ashes fall like winter snow, Watch the inner fire grow. I break the chains that held me low, Nowhere left for me to go. [Chorus] Oh, Phoenix rising from the flame, I will never be the same. Burn away the ghost of grief, Finding strength in my relief. Soaring high above the ground, In the sky, my truth is found. Oh, Phoenix. [Verse2] I cast a glow across the dark, Carrying a holy spark. My talons carve the morning air, Leaving sorrow in my lair. The beauty of the violent birth, Echoes round the broken earth. I paint the clouds with burning gold, A story that has just been told. No longer bound by heavy chains, I wash away the ancient stains. [Chorus] Oh, Phoenix rising from the flame, I will never be the same. Burn away the ghost of grief, Finding strength in my relief. Soaring high above the ground, In the sky, my truth is found. Oh, Phoenix. [Bridge] From the quiet bed of white, I emerge into the light. Every scar is turned to grace, Time and space I now embrace. A cycle turning round again, Healing all the past of pain. [Chorus] Oh, Phoenix rising from the flame, I will never be the same. Burn away the ghost of grief, Finding strength in my relief. Soaring high above the ground, In the sky, my truth is found. Oh, Phoenix. [Outro] The wind is calling out my name, The world is changed within the flame. A brand new dawn begins to rise, Reflected in my burning eyes. Phoenix.
