Eternal art thou br Birthed in celestial flames br Arching wings spread wide br Mighty talons posed to strike br Yours is a beauty both terrible and wondrous br You are the Phoenix arising. br br Fated though you are to die br burnt upon scented pyre br Still you arise. br Reborn from your very ashes br Birthed in fire br You are the Phoenix arising. br br You have traveled far br Born on flaming wings into death's very maw br What strange and terrible sights have you beheld? br Perhaps 'tis best not to know br Such knowledge might damn the soul br You are the Phoenix arising. br br Once more you are reborn br Rising aloft on flame-seared wings br Giving voice to a loud, resounding cry br In which there is mixed awful sadness and joy br A sound piercing to the soul's very core br You are the Phoenix arising.
