Rising
locked within the pitch black core
remembering to escape
sunny skies and balmy breeze
the arc of Earths landscape
bright plumage on an azure page
empowered to enthrall
the wickedness of evil men
wrought my fiery fall
long the years I've lingered here
in cold shroud of solitude
my power drained to feed the fray
of demons 'round this tomb
imprisoned in dark stone embrace
resisting bleak despair
my beloved comes for me
screaming rage beyond compare
heart quickened and hope come alive
unlock my disused voice
feel the power long denied
and know it was my choice
my twisted guards sense the loss
of what they'd long usurped
and panicking they scatter towards
their last moment on this earth
for my beloved rises up
to rend with fang and claw
ripping them limb from limb
filling me with awe
surrounded by the bodies
fallen 'round his feet
his fire paints the star filled sky
as destined lovers meet
rising from the ashes
of my tormented past
allow my dampened embers
to burst into flame at last
I stand before eternal love
revealed in my own fire
and spreading flame-tipped golden wings
raise eyes filled with desire
voices entwined in harmony
that echoes throughout the earth
this shattered prison witnesses
the Phoenix in rebirth
remembering to escape
sunny skies and balmy breeze
the arc of Earths landscape
bright plumage on an azure page
empowered to enthrall
the wickedness of evil men
wrought my fiery fall
long the years I've lingered here
in cold shroud of solitude
my power drained to feed the fray
of demons 'round this tomb
imprisoned in dark stone embrace
resisting bleak despair
my beloved comes for me
screaming rage beyond compare
heart quickened and hope come alive
unlock my disused voice
feel the power long denied
and know it was my choice
my twisted guards sense the loss
of what they'd long usurped
and panicking they scatter towards
their last moment on this earth
for my beloved rises up
to rend with fang and claw
ripping them limb from limb
filling me with awe
surrounded by the bodies
fallen 'round his feet
his fire paints the star filled sky
as destined lovers meet
rising from the ashes
of my tormented past
allow my dampened embers
to burst into flame at last
I stand before eternal love
revealed in my own fire
and spreading flame-tipped golden wings
raise eyes filled with desire
voices entwined in harmony
that echoes throughout the earth
this shattered prison witnesses
the Phoenix in rebirth
