1. THE PHOENIX

Caught in your hurricane of lies
I nearly lost myself
Scorched by the flames and I was scarred
But I won’t lose my pride
You played the game to bend the rules
And now you’ve lost yourself
You’re in a hell of your own making
Played us both for fools

But watch me as I rise

And I will rise like the phoenix
From the ashes I’ll be reborn
‘Cause the more you try to break me
I will fight, and you will fall

There is a choice we all must make
About which path to take
If you keep lying to yourself
It’s your own heart you’ll break
I may be battered and bruised
At least I’m not like you
I hold my head up high
And you can’t look me in the eye

Watch now as I take flight

And I will rise like the phoenix
From the ashes I’ll be reborn
‘Cause the more you try to break me
I will fight, and you will fall

You can’t hide
What’s inside
I won’t hide
I will fight

I will break free
Just you wait and see
There is a power in me
You think you’re free
But you’re incomplete
You have no power over me

And I will rise like the phoenix (I will rise)
From the ashes I’ll be reborn (I’ll be reborn)
‘Cause the more you try to break me (I won’t break)
I will fight, and you will fall
