I feel the Phoenix rise
Deep inside me as I burn alive
I know the fire will set me free
Burn in me
Let it burn
All of my walls
As I let it turn
Me into something
That I had to learn
Was really me and not the man I tried to be
Tell me why can't we see
That we're all the same
Just living different lives
We want to live
We want to love
We just want to feel inside
Like we belong in this world
One world
What will it take to show that we are one?
We need a fire to purify
All of the pain we try to hold inside
When will we learn that we can't deny
Ourselves the love we search for all our lives?
Let it burn
All of my walls
As I let it turn
Me into something
That I had to learn
Was really me and not the man I tried to be
We need a fire to break out
Let it burn in me
We need a fire to purify
All of the pain we try to hold inside
When will we learn that we can't deny
Ourselves the love we search for all our lives?
Can we forgive ourselves
And leave the past behind?
Now the choice falls to us to make
What path will we choose to take?
Will we let the past prevail?
All the years that we spent in pain
All the moments we couldn't find strength
Will we let the darkness win?
For all the loved ones we said goodbye to
And all the hopes and the dreams that died too
Somehow I still find love in me
There's a beauty to being human
Something deep won't let us give in
We'll carry on
I lived a life buried by my hate
Swallowed up by the hell I helped perpetuate
I know the fire will set me free
Burn in me
I looked the devil in the face
And looking back was the darkness inside of me
I saw the light of god inside the flames of hell
But none of it could break me
You'll never fucking break me
Now we will rise again
We need a fire to purify
All of the pain we try to hold inside
When will we learn that we can't deny
Ourselves the love we search for all our lives?
