phoenix

red and gold streams into the night
from old to young and back again
the dust that set the night alight
before the age of man
one more time to fly along
one last bitter ray of sunshine
until the night comes closing in
we say goodbye till next time
in a flash of gold and wine
to ride a wind
that’s bound in chains

the rising of the morning sun
to turn the ashes warm again
one sound to hear sweet music from afar
a light is born just for today
the coming of the world
to reach into one heaven
and retrieve a falling star
that spreads its wings

red and gold streams into the night
from young to old and back again
a flame that sets the night alight
inside the dreams of men
a new day dawns to fly along
a newborn ray of sunshine
until the night comes closing in
we say hello till next time
in a flash of gold and wine
to ride the wind
that’s bound for change
