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
