Phoenix - Verde

I bathe in this inferno may it cleanse my twisted soul

as I render all my obstacles to mounds of shapeless coal

and with this burning comes intense pain

that reminds me I’m alive

though there’s flames that rage beneath my skin

somehow I still survive

Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive

the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive

I know I cant be beaten

and I know you know it too

Because I rise up from these ashes and there’s nothing you can do

You tried to kill this phoenix by engulfing it in flame

but you only gave it power and immunity to pain

I’ll rise up from the ashes of the life you burned away

and I’ll still be as strong and ready as I was on any day

So bring it on

I dare you

We’ll see who walks away

I rise up from these ashes no matter what you say

Demons dance in my mind I refuse their cursed gift

I try to block the pain

but its all in vain

and into darkness I drift

and now this fires burning higher and this pain wont go away

I give a silent scream like some demented dream

I guess that’s the price you pay

When these flames begin to burn me I no longer wonder why

The suffering I go through fills my emptiness inside

Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive

the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive

This fires burning higher and this pain wont go away

I give a silent scream like some demented dream

I guess that’s the price you’ve got to pay

Fire ate my weaknesses now just my strengths survive

the harder that it is for me the better that I thrive

I know I cant be beaten

and I know you know it too

Because I rise up from these ashes and there’s nothing you can do

You tried to kill this phoenix by engulfing it in flame

but you only gave it power and immunity to pain

I’ll rise up from the ashes of the life you burned away

and I’ll still be as strong and ready as I was on any day

So bring it on

I dare you

We’ll see who walks away

I rise up from these ashes no matter what you say
