verse 1)

From ashes we rise, from shadow and flame

We bring you damnation, from whence we came

The fires of passion, the burning of lust...

Ashes to ashes... dust to dust...

(chorus)

Burning higher, Phoenix fire

(bridge)

Seering talons, blazing wings

Birds of fire, hear them sing

(verse 2)

Now we live again, the flames of rebirth

We soar high above, and scorch the earth

The guilty will burn, they cry and combust

Ashes to ashes... dust to dust...

(chorus)

(bridge)

(verse 3)

So it's come to this, the end of days

Our judgment is passed, with a searing blaze

To shadow and flame, return we must

Ashes to ashes... dust to dust...

chorus)

(bridge)

(verse 3)

So it's come to this, the end of days

Our judgment is passed, with a searing blaze

To shadow and flame, return we must

Ashes to ashes... dust to dust...

(chorus)

(altered chorus outro)

None are redeemed - Hear the choir of screams

The guilty will pay for their wicked dreams

The flames of desire - Light the funeral pyre

We are burning higher - Feel the phoenix... FIRE
