Rise, Phoenix, Rise

By megaprime81

Rise like the Phoenix
You're burned to ash
You need a new birth
Bound in chains as you are,
Your soul's in flames
 
Agony and pain
You must endure
Or perish in your cries

Rise, Phoenix, rise
Survival is a must
Or demise is eminent
You can't break free
If bound in chains
For eternity

Rise, Phoenix, rise
Otherwise it's your demise
Toss aside all deception
And lies

You'll never know love
If you suffocate on pain
Choking on despair

Rise, Phoenix, rise
Altar your fate
Before it's too late

    People who identify with the phoenix, are so anxious to be reborn over and over again, that they forget to finish what was left behind. Welcome to DP and thanks for your comment Poet.

    Thank you. But i feel words take a back seat to action. i'm too lazy to ever make it as a pro.
