Rise Like a Phoenix

Waking in the rubble, walking over glass

Neighbors say we're trouble, well, their time has passed

Peering from the mirror, no, that isn't me

A stranger gettin' nearer, who can this person be?

You wouldn't know me at all today

From the fading light I'll fly

Rise like a phoenix out of the ashes

Seekin' 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'll fly

Rise like a phoenix out of the ashes

Seekin' rather than vengeance, retribution

You were warned, once I'm transformed, once I'm reborn

How you deserve it, baby, you earned it

Oh, 'cause I'll rise up to the sky

You threw me down, but I'm gonna fly and

Rise like a phoenix out of the ashes

Seekin' 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
