歌词
The Phoenix is a legend, I much prefer what's real
I don't rely on fantasy to tell me what to feel
And if I don't believe in anything, I won't believe in lies
Like from the ashes of my life
The Phoenix will rise
If a man was lost and broken and his house consumed him with fire
And the flames destroyed the structures of the steeple and the spire
Maybe slow but ever steady, it's hard to analyze
They say he might be like the Phoenix,
And from the ashes he might rise
Don't give me promises, don't give me schemes
Don't give me convoluted politics or masquerades,
Or other people's dreams
I just want hard truths and absences of pain
To circumnavigate every childish game
And I do not seek deliverance, but much to my surprise
From the ashes I watch the Phoenix rise
Please give me promises, and give me schemes
To comprehend the politics and the masquerades
And other people's dreams
Perhaps these hard truths will ease the pain
And help me put away every childish game
Legend might hold wisdom in thinly veiled disguise
And you and I and everyone might be the Phoenix, and we might rise
And we might rise
