Phoenix

Featuring Sivert Høyem (ex-Madrugada) - vocals

Into the night My long suffering friend We'll be reborn again Right here where everything ends Face to the sky A trail of smoke in the air Pass into emptiness New life's awaiting you there Slave to some wretched old Imagination of yesteryear Now all that grows in the skulls Of the living are flowers of fear The morning red A sun-god calling you back Down through a thousand years White embers whistle and crack Await the dawn with her kiss of redemption My firebird! You were the queen of the souls of all men Before there was the w-o-r-d The morning new, the morning red The fiery promise Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples And when the fire's work is done Our time to be reborn By pagan streams A wind whips the leaves from the trees And it is revealed to us That we are dreams within dreams Born from some wretched Old imagination of yesteryear Now all that grows in the skulls of the living Are flowers of fear The morning new, the morning red The fiery promise Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples And when the fire's work is done Our time to be reborn The morning new, the morning red The fiery promise Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples And when the fire's work is done The phoenix now reborn
