Phoenix

Fire, once so weak...flickering...barely alive...
coming to surface, born again in a heat of rage and passion
burst forth to consume, nothing lives in agony,
that which is burned away to purity.

I gave everything I have, to one I thought deserving
You have destroyed it...without care
Sat there laughing like a king
High on your throne you looked down upon me
Acting as if you are above me

Push me into the ground if you must
let that power be yours
but you have nothing over me
You may have broken a part
Stealing away the love I gave so freely
Twisting it to your sick needs
Throwing it in my face when done

You can say it is my fault
blame me for it all
say it is nothing but me
but everyone knows the truth
You can lie to their faces
but you are more see through than the mist

Play your little games
Have fun while you can
Karma is a bitch, fool
and you'll burn in the end

Fuck you and your little ways
The lies you caught me with
You played a good game
And you think you won

I am stronger than you, and what you think you've done
Take what you were given and fuck off
Because tonight, I am more than you ever will know
I am always able to survive, it's who I am
I am the fires of rage, passion, justice
I am life, death...and yes, I am love

I am eternal, I am Phoenix
