Phoenix Rising

All those mythologies back when I was a child
Safely filed away under lock and key
But as the years tick away, consumed by all the flames
of a dark and terrible world
Ah, but they don't know that as the fires roll
the ashes of it all alight
And rekindle that life of the locked away child
and bring that phoenix to rise

Didn't anybody tell you that all the magic creatures died?
I just sit here hoping that it's a lie
And if I sift the dirt just right then something more than dirt will rise
and that magic is gonna come back to life

If there's no hope they're gonna embrace it
And if there is then they're gonna break it
But if you say it enough times
It'll start with a glow, and with a flash the flame will grow
And like the locked away child
The shackles will melt in the fire
And bring that phoenix to rise
