These shadows, they haunt me These voices in my head, foreboding This black cloud, it haunts me Its presence takes a hold upon me
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna Make it out alive (make it out alive) Make it out alive, no You tried to wipe the earth clean of me You tried to take away everything Now I'm taking flight (taking flight) I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
Exposed now, they see me And everything I am, no hiding Feel no shame, uprising The darkness can be so enlightening
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna Make it out alive (make it out alive) Make it out alive, no You tried to wipe the earth clean of me You tried to take away everything Now I'm taking flight (taking flight) I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
Now I don't care about the shit that used to bother me All my worries and fears crumble before me Why care about all of the petty crap that people say? Stand up, dust yourself off and fly away!
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna Make it out alive (make it out alive) Make it out alive, no You tried to wipe the earth clean of me You tried to take away everything Now I'm taking flight (taking flight) I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
