The Phoenix
The sun was red and the fires were roarin'Stars aligned and our webs were spunI could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin'Guess, I'm always chasin' the sunHopin' we will soon be one'Till it turns around to me and I try to runOn phosphorous wings the phoenix floatedThe fires froze and the sea was hushedAnd when I tried to speak, the sun implodedAnd the war will rage in my gutsTill the devil bites the dustI never saw him losin' a race, but I think he mustThe great storm raged and the power kept growin'Dragons rose from our land belowAnd even now I wonder where I'm goin'Ever since a long time agoI've tried to let my feelings showI'd like to think I'm insincere, but I'll never know From Letras Mania
