  • Waking in the rubble
    Walking over glass
    Neighbors say we're trouble
    Well that time has passed

    Peering from the mirror
    No, that isn't me
    Stranger getting nearer
    Who can this person be

    You wouldn't know me at all today from the fading light I fly

    Rise like a phoenix
    Out of the ashes seeking 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

    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 fly

    Rise like a phoenix
    Out of the ashes seeking rather than vengeance
    Retribution, you were warned
    Once I'm transformed
    Once I'm reborn

    I rise up to the sky
    You threw me down but
    I'm gonna fly

    And rise like a phoenix
    Out of the ashes seeking 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 Writer/s: ALEXANDER ZUCKOWSKI, CHARLIE MASON, JOEY PATULKA, JULIAN MAAS
