Destroyed and reborn.

Destroyed and reborn.

Torn apart by a fiery storm.

Body and mind burned to ash. 

With all the power of a lightening flash. 

Suffering and hardship stoke the flames. 

Soul growing, wisdom gained. 

Within the embers you'll find your spirit. 

Total surrender, do not fear it. 

Embrace the true power that you are. 

An infinite diamond, an eternal star. 

Pain and growth. 

Pain and growth. 

This is the melody of the Phoenix of old. 

Wings soaring above it all. 

Endless rising, endless fall. 

Wings soaring above it all. 

The seed is buried before it can grow tall.
