I'Ll Rise Like the Phoenix

Let the sparks set alight
Like vultures they will come swarming 
Let the flames burn my flesh
With every ill word, the fire will burn brighter
Let the heat turn me to ashes
Every piece of hatred will send me falling

Though like a phoenix I’ll rise
Whenever I’m surrounded by the roaring flames 
I’ll always break free
With each passing day I’ll grow
And with each passing day I’ll get stronger

Like the phoenix I’ll be immortal 
And I too will be invincible 
I’ll never fade
I’ll rise...
