Can The Phoenix Rise

Silent, like the empty moon at dawn
A secret of the night is born
You smile; but still your eyes say it all
Burned, moths are flapping round the flame
This hunger that no light can claim
We're blind, but still, the fire remains

Can you and I survive
Can you and I go on believing?
Can the phoenix rise
Can the earth go on receiving?
The ashes of your scorn, still smouldering

Wander, through an empty hall of Kings
Until you hear the sound of wings
I'm flying, there's something driving me on

They cut you down to size,
Still you play with fire and wonder
Can the phoenix rise
Smiling as they drag you under
The ashes of your scorn still smouldering

King Harold caught an arrow
Died without a single cry
Attrition is a cur
Lapping at the wounded eye

Someday, if your key will fit my door
And maybe when we're tired and sore
We'll talk some, about the days that we knew

Can you and I survive
Can you and I go on believing?
Can the phoenix rise
Can the world go on receiving?
Can you and I survive
Can you and I go on believing?
Can the phoenix rise
Can the earth go on receiving?
