Phoenix

That alabaster mask you wear
Anger hiding in your stare
Burning you from deep inside
Fire where the dark things hide
So you flee the candlelight
Illumination burning bright
Revealing welts of hate and fear
As you hold your poison dear

Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night

Twisted branches scrape the sky
Reach for me as I fly by
Rooted deep in earth grown dark
What you harbor left a mark
And those with eyes to see can tell
Your pretty face is but a shell
Till you let your anger go
Nothing good will ever grow

Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night
Cancer eating at your soul
Once a heart, now a hole
Till you calm the flames within
Envy is your deadly sin

Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night
