Phoenix Shall Rise

Burn burn day by day, 
Sleepless nights too swayed away.. 
Mocked faces and faked smiles, 
Broken heart, mind fragile.. 
Pretentious walls of being alive, 
Flags of compromise waving high 
But somewhere to the soul's soul 
This secret is well known, 
That when the time comes 
Phoenix shall rise... 
From his own ashes to survive.. 
Flapping the wings of fire, 
Raising his head high,
Taking a swing with fearless swirl 
Looking at the timid small world 
Phoenix shall rise again.. 
Phoenix shall survive, 
Till he meets his vicious fate 
To ask the questions, 
To erase the ominous slate, 
To burn the skies 
And heavens and earth 
To remind them the ashes
Of unfortunate bygone.. 
Phoenix shall rise again..
Phoenix shall survive...
