Phoenix

I bathe in this inferno may it cleanse my twisted soul
as I render all my obstacles to mounds of shapeless coal
and with this burning comes intense pain
that reminds me I’m alive
though there’s flames that rage beneath my skin
somehow I still survive
Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive
the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive
I know I cant be beaten
and I know you know it too
Because I rise up from these ashes and there’s nothing you can do
You tried to kill this phoenix by engulfing it in flame
but you only gave it power and immunity to pain
I’ll rise up from the ashes of the life you burned away
and I’ll still be as strong and ready as I was on any day
So bring it on
I dare you
We’ll see who walks away
I rise up from these ashes no matter what you say
Demons dance in my mind I refuse their cursed gift
I try to block the pain
but its all in vain
and into darkness I drift
and now this fires burning higher and this pain wont go away
I give a silent scream like some demented dream
I guess that’s the price you pay
When these flames begin to burn me I no longer wonder why
The suffering I go through fills my emptiness inside
Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive
the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive
This fires burning higher and this pain wont go away
I give a silent scream like some demented dream
I guess that’s the price you’ve got to pay
Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive
the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive
I know I cant be beaten
and I know you know it too
Because I rise up from these ashes and there’s nothing you can do
You tried to kill this phoenix by engulfing it in flame
but you only gave it power and immunity to pain
I’ll rise up from the ashes of the life you burned away
and I’ll still be as strong and ready as I was on any day
So bring it on
I dare you
We’ll see who walks away
I rise up from these ashes no matter what you say
