An ancient tale only wise men can tell The secret of eternal life in the grip of the serpent's coils Wings open, reaching out for knowledge Chaos and order, life and death Empires have fallen, heroes have died But I soar and I fly, centuries is mine For all my whole life I've been wandering alone For answers that I can't find Flames of knowledge are those of my wings My ashes ain't death, since light I will bring For I will rise again Pyres still burn, but purity is lost The strength of men when all shall end Wisdom, in such a shame is interred Symbol of the past only ashes now remain The Ouroboros watches, its coils unperturbed Fire is a passage to a new life Enlightenment soon will come I will find my true self A new knowledge within Eternaly I fly Wisdom and strength I seek Evil and good nourish my flames In æons I'll live, forever I'll burn An unending cycle, my gift or my doom Memories are carved in my every feather I'm reborn I still burn
