The legend of the firebird Is one of transformation If you dare to take the journey And you give the wolf his due Let the flame inspire For you are your own creation Throw your fear upon the pyre And let it rise as something new So you think you don't burn bright enough? I tell you it's not true Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down Throw your voice out to the wind Feel the heat upon your skin As you hunger, so begin Burn it down Last night you were dreaming But you cannot quite remember It's all dark and misty-seeming now Like patterns in the sand Wake to comets streaming Kindled from a lonely ember All your wishes colored gleaming Are the stars held in your hand Let them soar and let them smolder May they never fall to land Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down Throw your stars into the sky Let the darkness hear your cry Teach the cinders how to fly Burn it down Voices whisper, "never" Fear the fire will turn to ash And they would hold you back forever To protect you from the pain A single blazing feather Holds the heat of all your passion Bring your head and hands together Only hear the heart's refrain Burn away the haunted shadows It's your love that will remain Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down Throw your heart into the song Feel the rhythm hot and strong And the fire will sing along Burn it down Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down Throw your heart into the song Feel the rhythm hot and strong Hear the fire sing along Burn it down
