Lyrics

Escape of the Phoenix

On a day when the world was not awake
I crossed the river and the waters of oblivion
This day all heavens fell
I wanna 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 heavens wept
It's 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
