Now the glory days are gone The claws of fear are dragging us Into an abyss of pain Our pride and joy forever thrown away Hard to forget who we were For our story lives on In the tales of those who dreamed Of someday being like us (We went too far) The chains of pleasure have bound our hearts (Became too great) Loss have tore our worlds apart Like a phoenix she will rise again Like a star upon your face Shining over the sadness Lightning upon the ashes of our disgrace She will rise, over the sky Like the burning fire of agony within Now I see what they meant A message of hope (This is what they sent) Find the key to the chains And free your hollow hearts again (You'll be free again) She is not a person A riddle of elder men (Wisdom, courage and cure) Wisdom, courage and cure The firebird is those who are pure (To heal the wounds) The star in the prophecy is innocence (The key to all locks) The very meaning of existence Like a phoenix she will rise again Like a star upon your face Shining over the sadness Lightning upon the ashes of our disgrace She will rise, over the sky Like the burning fire of agony within Now I realize we are all doomed.
