Phoenix

I am the Phoenix
My plumage brilliant
From the ashes I rise

I have been reborn
I have been renewed
I live again

Constantly regenerating
Immortal, invincible
I will not be held back

Heliopolis, you know me
My strength
My power

Let my tears heal you
I am fire and divinity
I live again

I live again
