A Song of Unrest

Just like the phoenix,
I stand before my fall
I'm wrapped in wings of torment,
feeling all
Just like the phoenix,
I stand before my fall
I'm tossed in waves and torrents,
seeing all
So why did I lie to me, lie to me?
And why, I cannot say
In this failing light, something bright
Your distant beacons shine
and beckon me, beckon me
They beckon to me
I came to take you all back to the city,
but now there's a sense unlike before
All these lives leave me so sentimental
The sensation shakes me to the core
Just like the phoenix
that rose from it all
I regret with grief and horror
that I came to harvest souls
Why do you care for me, care for me?
And why do I feel the same?
We can't stay here, not even a day
The price you've paid must be reckoned
while the moon ascends in silver and blue
The world still turned, but not for me
Still, I won't look back bitterly
Life went on, I forgot just why
Our promised land now stands a haven of lies
This home of ours now lies in sorrow
If there are no todays, then there's no tomorrows
Our people will surely die
if we do not take our turn and learn to fly!
Fly! (x3)
So sing out into the night
Ring out, sublime divine
So sing out, the time is nigh
For I am home again, home again
(x2)
I came to enslave them
Came to enslave them all
But I felt my voice uncertain,
then heard the elders call
We now stand together
Our mission takes its form
I hear the winds unfolding
The calm before the storm
