Lyrics

Phoenix Rising By Einen

There's a legend often told
Of a bird of crimson-gold
Surviving centuries of toil and strife
It sets itself aflame
To die and then to rise again
Rebirthing its immortal soul

Chorus
Then she rises from the ashes
And bows her head to pray
Draws up the strength inside her
For this most important day
Then she (he) looks up to the heavens
And casts her fears away
Spreads her mighty wings and flies away!
And it's the mighty phoenix rising
Triumphant now and free
It's the mighty phoenix rising
Effortlessly!

There was a child long ago
In Bethlehem was born
But on the cross his body hung in pain
A sacrifice to man
Born to die and rise again
Rebirthing his immortal soul!

Then he rises from the ashes
And bows his head to pray
Draws up the strength inside him
For this most important day
Then he looks up to the heavens
And casts his fears away
Spreads his mighty wings and flies away!
And it's the mighty phoenix rising
Triumphant now and free
It's the mighty phoenix rising
Effortlessly!

There's a woman all alone
In the world with her young
A world of great uncertainty and fear
She seeks the word of truth
With the bravery of youth
Rebirthing her immortal soul!


There's a man hurt and confused
Not knowing where to turn
An empty world an, oh, so distant star
He speaks creator's name
And trusts to rise again
Rebirthing his immortal soul!

There's a legend often told
Of a bird of crimson-gold
Surviving centuries of toil and strife
It sets itself aflame
To die and then to rise again
Rebirthing its immortal soul

Now I'm rising from the ashes
I bow my head to pray
Draw up the strength inside me
For this most important day
Then I look up to the heavens
And cast my fears away
Spread my mighty wings and fly away!
And it's the mighty phoenix rising
Triumphant now and free
It's the mighty phoenix rising
Effortlessly!
Effortlessly!
