On a day when the world was not awake I crossed the river and the waters of oblivion This day all heaven's fell I want to fly not resurrect Escape and land in the celestial Nightfall on my immortal soul I'm leaving for a new day As my ashes fall in the meridian The wings of wonder A new life arising Sacrificial arson From fire to carbon The ashes crowning A call to weakness Escape of the phoenix On this day the world was not awake And I stood and had to watch while the heaven's wept Its rivers Tried to fly, not resurrect Threw myself on the stake to burn And all the lives where I lived and learned Nothing's sacred in halos I'll give this crown to the one who follows The wings of wonder A new life arising Sacrificial arson From fire to carbon The ashes crowning A call to weakness Escape of the phoenix From ashes to nothing Could heaven welcome a traitor We are the sacred ashes Of her honor I'm reaching, I'm stretching To not fall from grace into oblivion The calling for freedom Escape of the phoenix The wings of wonder A new life arising Sacrificial arson From fire to carbon The ashes crowning A call to weakness Escape of the phoenix The wings of wonder A new life arising Sacrificial arson From fire to carbon The ashes crowning A call to weakness Escape of the phoenix
