A Sacrificial Phoenix

Set fire to the afterglow
Grind it down to stardust
Flew too hard against the current
For these wings to direct me now
A change of course
Could be the thing
To set me straight
Or three steps back

Your master's calling you
Jaded anti-body
You know what you've got to do
Rising to the occasion
You can't fight it now
The infection spreads
Go ahead and say your prayers

So many mistakes
You can't keep yourself from breaking
Promises precious like fine china
Just inches away from another breakdown
A picture perfect portrait of sanity swept away

Carried again to the alter
A sacrificial phoenix
With wings spread
In the warmth of rebirth
Left to embers
All hope to regain flight
The cracks of age begin to show
The centuries lay claim to my life

Burn bright
IGNITE
Burn always
And forever
IGNITE
Burn into the night
Waking the sun
IGNITE
You'll turn and run
IGNITE

So many mistakes
You can't keep yourself from breaking
Promises precious like fine china
Just inches away from another breakdown
A picture perfect portrait of sanity swept away

Siphoned spirit
A bottled regenerative
Torn from me
To fuel your good health
Everlasting
Your cruelty flourishes
As they burn the ground
These tears that I weep
The world of man torn asunder
In the inferno
Of these tears that I weep
