Rise Like a Phoenix

Waking in the rubble Walking over glass Neighbors say we're trouble Well that time has passed Peering from the mirror No, that isn't me Stranger getting nearer Who can this person be You wouldn't know me at all today From the fading light I fly Rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes Seeking rather than vengeance Retribution You were warned Once I'm transformed Once I'm reborn You know I will rise like a phoenix But you're my flame Tell yourself we're lovers Lovers fight you bet We'll forgive each other Forgive, not forget Go about your business Act as if you're free No one could have witnessed What you did to me 'Cause you wouldn't know me today And you have got to see To believe From the fading light I fly Rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes Seeking rather than vengeance Retribution You were warned Once I'm transformed Once I'm reborn How you deserve it Baby you own it 'Cause I rise up to the sky You threw me down but I'm gonna fly And rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes Seeking rather than vengeance Retribution You were warned Once I'm transformed Once I'm reborn You know I will rise like a phoenix But you remain my flame
