Escape of the Phoenix Lyrics


On a day when the world

Was not awake

I crossed the river

And the waters of oblivion

This day all heaven’s fell

I want to fly, not resurrect

Escape

And land in the celestial

Nightfall on my immortal soul

I’m leaving for a new day

As my ashes fall in the meridian

The wings of wonder

A new life arising

Sacrificial arson

From fire to carbon

The ashes crowning

A call to weakness

Escape of the phoenix

On this day the world

Was not awake

And I stood and had to watch

While the heaven’s wept

Its rivers

Tried to fly, not resurrect

Threw myself

On the stake to burn

And all the lives

Where I lived and learned

Nothing’s sacred in halos

I’ll give this crown

To the one who follows

The wings of wonder

A new life arising

Sacrificial arson

From fire to carbon

The ashes crowning

A call to weakness

Escape of the phoenix

From ashes to nothing

Could heaven welcome a traitor?

We are the sacred ashes

Of her honor

I’m reaching, I’m stretching

To not fall from grace into oblivion

The calling for freedom

Escape of the phoenix

The wings of wonder

A new life arising

Sacrificial arson

From fire to carbon

The ashes crowning

A call to weakness

Escape of the phoenix

The wings of wonder

A new life arising

Sacrificial arson

From fire to carbon

The ashes crowning

A call to weakness

Escape of the phoenix
