Waking in the rubble
Walking over glass
Neighbours say weâ??re trouble

Well that time has passed

Peering from the mirror

No, that isnâ??t me
A stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be?


You wouldnâ??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 Iâ??m transformed, once Iâ??m reborn


You know I will rise like a phoenix
But youâ??re my flame


Go about your business
Act as if youâ??re free
No one could have witnessed

What you did to me

â??Cause you wouldnâ??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 Iâ??m transformed, once Iâ??m reborn

I rise up to the sky

You threw me down but Iâ??m gonna fly

And rise like a phoenix

Out of the ashes, seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution, you were warned
Once Iâ??m transformed, once Iâ??m reborn


You know I will rise like a phoenix
But youâ??re my flame
