Waking in [bad word] 
Walking over glass 
Neighbors say we're trouble 
Well that time has passed 
Peering from the mirror 
No, that isn't me 
Stranger getting nearer 
Who can this person be 

You wouldn't know me at all today 
From the fading light I fly 

Rise like a phoenix 
Out of the ashes 
Seeking rather than vengeance 
Retribution 
You were warned 
Once I'm transformed 
Once I'm reborn 
You know I will rise like a phoenix 
But you're my flame 

Go about your business 
Act as if you're free 
No one could have witnessed 
What you did to me 

Cause you wouldn't know me today 
And you have got to see 
To believe 
From the fading light I fly 

Rise like a phoenix 
Out of the ashes 
Seeking rather than vengeance 
Retribution 
You were warned 
Once I'm transformed 
Once I'm reborn 

I rise up to the sky 
You threw me down but 
I'm gonna fly 

And rise like a phoenix 
Out of the ashes 
Seeking rather than vengeance 
Retribution 
You were warned 
Once I'm transformed 
Once I'm reborn 
You know I will rise like a phoenix 
But you're my flame
