Phoenix

[Verse]
Headed by the winds in this dissolute place
I'm driving against the ice that whips across my face
When all of the howling screams say it my way
Let me know that things will be better one day
Oh, paradox lost, paradox never was
Oh, I'm all alone on this land of forgotten souls
How can it have possibly come to this?
The struggle to survive winter's frozen kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, things have got to change
Well, I said things have got to change
Oh, we need to make a change
Won't you help me make a change?

[Chorus]
I'm a phoenix flying high
Iron fists won't hold me down
I'm a soaring far and widе
Look at yourselves, oh, blinded by my light
Wеll, out of the ashes, watch my flame burn bright
I'm a phoenix flying high
Iron fists won't hold me down
I'm a soaring far and wide
Well, Look at yourselves blinded by my light
Well, I'm a phoenix flying high
I know I'll be all right

[Bridge]
Falling broken and beaten
Well, but I'm strong when I'm not defeated
Holding out for the future
Well, nothing dries sooner than tears
Falling broken and beaten
Well, but I'm strong and I'm not defeated
Holding out for the future
Well, nothing dries sooner than tears

[Chorus]
I'm a phoenix flying high
Iron fists won't hold me down
I'm a soaring far and wide
Look at yourselves, oh, blinded by my light
Out of the ashes, watch my flame burn bright
I'm a phoenix flying high
Iron fists won't hold me down
I'm a soaring far and wide
Look at yourselves blinded by my light
I'm a phoenix flying high
I know I'll be all right

[Outro]
Oh, things have got to change
Well, I said things have got to change
Oh, we need to make the change
Won't you help me make the change?
