lyrics

My eyes glitter sorrow as I watch you
Flee the burning cities of the war
Angels of destruction ride with fury
The warrior was our hero, now he’s rotten to the core

My heart crushed like velvet torn from our queen
Here she’s lying ravaged on the land
I tell myself there’s nothing I could do, no
but I cannot wash the bloodstains from my hands

I want to rise, rise, like a phoenix from the ashes
Crowned and conquering the shadows of my soul
Rise, rise, with my flaming feathers flashing
Rising from the shambles of the old

I curl myself around my desolation
Jewels of hope are shattered in my hand
Fields are black and water runs like poison
I summon up my courage but I don’t know where I stand

Beauty bears the scars of her betrayal
Still her noble spirit endures
Sharp of tongue she puts the challenge to me
Dare to taste the poison if you want to find the cure

I want to rise, rise, like a phoenix from the ashes
Crowned and conquering the shadows of my soul
Rise, rise, with my flaming feathers flashing
Rising from the shambles of the old

I want to rise, rise, like a phoenix from the ashes
Crowned and consecrated to the world soul
bring to life all the dreams I though were dying
Rising from the shambles of the old
