Phoenix
Why is it that time repeats itself
Foreshadowed stories
Unearthed mountains
Ready to breathe-
A child is born, a lion dies
New hope is found
But hidden in the rubble
Is the same dream
The same mountain is
Ready to reign-
Ready to reign
Thunder and lightning!
What will we do when the same story comes back from the dead
Will we face the monster we created
Or will we ignore this
Growing danger
Coming closer
Give in to fear
And give up instead
From ash to ash
And age to age
From life to new life
From grass to grave
Will we ever learn
From our mistakes
Or will we repeat until
All life decays!
Take up the torch to signify the breaking dawn
The light will remind us to keep moving on
In our darkest hour we will huddle close
Uncertain where we are going, the darkest unknown
But we will cut paths into the thickest roads
And we will uproot all things, even trees of old
We can change what we are, and become brand new
In confidence we will march ahead, unto the days of truth
We know the ending, and we will march forth
There is no stopping the unyielding force
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know nothing!
Blinded by our confidence
We lead ourselves astray
Our guided lights are distorted reflections
Off of our misshapen images
In this battle
We think we've won
Only to scrape the bottom of the barrel
We feast on the scraps
Thinking this is our great reward
We settle for a helping of
Meaningless garbage
I'm tired of watching us settle
Settling for the same poison
That brought us here to death
The first time
Here we are again
Staring at his empty sockets
Getting drawn in by the black!
From ash to ash
And age to age
From life to new life
From grass to grave
Will we ever learn
From our mistakes
Or will we repeat until
All life decays!
And I hope that someday
We will take the torch to signify the new dawn
Clinging close to the light
Giving up on our old ways
And maybe
We will leave
This old story
Down in its grave-
Foreshadowed stories
Unearthed mountains
Ready to breathe-
A child is born, a lion dies
New hope is found
But hidden in the rubble
Is the same dream
The same mountain is
Ready to reign-
Ready to reign
Thunder and lightning!
What will we do when the same story comes back from the dead
Will we face the monster we created
Or will we ignore this
Growing danger
Coming closer
Give in to fear
And give up instead
From ash to ash
And age to age
From life to new life
From grass to grave
Will we ever learn
From our mistakes
Or will we repeat until
All life decays!
Take up the torch to signify the breaking dawn
The light will remind us to keep moving on
In our darkest hour we will huddle close
Uncertain where we are going, the darkest unknown
But we will cut paths into the thickest roads
And we will uproot all things, even trees of old
We can change what we are, and become brand new
In confidence we will march ahead, unto the days of truth
We know the ending, and we will march forth
There is no stopping the unyielding force
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know where we're heading
We know nothing!
Blinded by our confidence
We lead ourselves astray
Our guided lights are distorted reflections
Off of our misshapen images
In this battle

Only to scrape the bottom of the barrel

I'm tired of watching us settle

That brought us here to death
The first time

Staring at his empty sockets
Getting drawn in by the black!
From ash to ash
And age to age
From life to new life
From grass to grave
Will we ever learn

Or will we repeat until
All life decays!
And I hope that someday
We will take the torch to signify the new dawn
Clinging close to the light
Giving up on our old ways
And maybe
We will leave
This old story
Down in its grave-
