Waking in a rubble
 Walking over glass
 Neighbours say we’re trouble
 Well, that time has passed

Peering from the mirror
 No, that isn’t me
 A 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

I rise up to the sky
 You threw me down but
 I'm gonna fly

And 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
