Falling into the abyss again,
Crossed the lines too many times,
The promises we were given at the start of our lives
Got lost and turned into a parade of shame.
An eternity of hell as reward for all those good
intentions,
Standing by those insidious lies that we cannot justify no
more.

Tearing our souls apart, all that's left is indifference,
Selling and buying our souls to maintain the illusion of
life.
Stepping closer to the edge,
Taking a deep breath and then leaping empty handed into the
void,
This could be our last chance to become something new and
else.

The victory march of mind over matter had turned into an
elegy of grief,
The tears slowly amass like the traumas of the past.
Clear your mind of everything that's been learnt in the
school of life,
Keep your soul safe from the ravenous devils.

Rising from the ashes in darkness,
Believing in nothing but yourself,
The stars, galaxies and universe in your eyes.
Turn yourself into a new constellation,
Free and unbound,
The Phoenix Alive.
