The Phoenix and the Albatross Lyrics


Like a flame I am reborn!

I've come and gone so many times

I've lost count of my lives

Still I can see, on the blade of the sky

The albatross he rides

To take me back to the other side

Don't you dare feel sorry for me

I live between two worlds

And I've seen things that you will never see

And every time I die

I return to myself in time

And reignite

I feel no pain in this light

Staring in with wide eyes

This world imprisons me

But my ashes set me free

And I burn the sky

I've come and gone so many times

I've lost count of my lives

Still I can see, on the edge of my mind

The albatross he flies

I can feel his shadow closing in

Soon it will begin again

But every cloud I leave behind

Dissolves another shadow in my mind

We don't know how far we can fall

Til we've flown as high as we can

It's no use to hide

We must face our irrational fears and our desperate years

And stand unflinching before the light

We were born to fly

But darling the winds will not take us unless we escape

This elaborately-constructed lie

I will fall and start all over...
