Lyrics The Phoenix - Furor Gallico

The Phoenix

An ancient tale only wise men can tell
The secret of eternal life in the grip of the serpent’s coils
Wings open, reaching out for knowledge
Chaos and order, life and death
Empires have fallen, heroes have died
But I soar and I fly, centuries are mine
For all my own life I’ve been wandering alone
For answers that I can’t find
Flames of knowledge are thos of my wings
My ashes ain’t death, since light I will bring
For I will ris again
Pyres still burn, but purity is lost
The strenght of men when all shall end
Wisdom, is such a shame is interred
Symbol of the past, only ashes now remains
The Ouroboros watches, its coils unperturbed
Fire is a passage to a new life
Enlightenment soon will come
I will find my true self
A new knowledge within
Eternally I fly
Wisdom and strenght I seek
Evil and good nourish my flames
In aeons I’ll live, forever I’ll burn
An unending cycle, my gift or my doom
Wisdom and strenght I seek
Evil and good nourish my flames
In aeons I’ll live, forever I’ll burn
An unending cycle, my gift or my doom
Memories are carved in my every feather
Fire is a passage to a new life
Enlightenment soon will come
I will find my true self
A new knowledge within
I’m reborn
I still burn
I’m reborn
I still burn
