Waking in the rubble Walking over glass
Neighbors say we're trouble
Well that time has passed
Peering from the mirror
No that isn't me
Stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be
You wouldn't know me at all today
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking
Rather than vengeance
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me
'Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see To believe
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking
Rather than vengeance
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking
Rather than vengeance
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
I rise up to the sky
You threw me down but
I'm gonna fly
(Woo)
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking
Rather than vengeance
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
But you're my flame
But you're my flame
