phoenix

an era dawns with one rekindled dream
the nightmare's remnants fade into the dust
oh, don't you cry for what has never been
i burn alone tonight because i must

where many an intrepid soul has gone
my one and only chance to spread my wings
to ride across the precipice beyond
with but a spark the spectacle begins

the magic is seeping in
engulfed in its embrace
the magic is seeping in
from the ashes i shall rise

now it is happening
now it is happening
the transformation bearing fiery waves
a world ablaze

here at the end may the struggles pay off
when at last i have reclaimed my power
make you open your eyes wide and look to above
before long you shall bask in my fire

destiny reached
fury unleashed
the shackles and walls
have been finally breached

behold my might
golden and bright
once and for all
i am ending this fight

the magic is seeping in
engulfed in its embrace
the magic is seeping in
from the ashes i shall rise

the magic is seeping in
now it is happening
the magic is seeping in
yes, it is happening
