The Pheonix Stirs

Contain

And let all feelings wash away

Refrain

And don't let them see again

But no matter the pain

Or the times and trials ahead

I cannot simply become lame

I'd rather feel then be so dead

So I shall sing

And write the words I fear to say

I shall dream

The things I have lost in yesterday

And I shall take wing

No matter how dark it may seam

And no more to contain

No more to refrain

No I shall take flight

And I shall draw might

From the tears I have sown

And from the love I have known

And when the backs all have turned

And I my salt and dues have earned

I shall then spread my secret wings

For I am not all that I seem

And upon the wings of night take flight

And I shall rise up to glorious hights

And they shall look upon me

The one that they have scorned

And they shall know me

As the one they aught have adored

And I shall rise over their eyes

Full of scorn and compromise

And I shall search for the violet dawn

And let my art and my heart be reborn
