Into the night
 My long suffering friend
 We'll be reborn again
 Right here where everything ends

 Face to the sky
 trail of smoke in the air
 Pass into emptiness
 New life's awaiting you there

 Slave to some wretched old
 Imagination of yesteryear
 Now all that grows in the skulls
 Of the living are flowers of fear

 The morning red
 sun-god calling you back
 Down through a thousand years
 White embers whistle and crack

 Await the dawn with her kiss of redemption,
 My firebird!
 You were the queen of the souls of all men
 Before there was the w-o-r-d

 The morning new, the morning red,
 The fiery promise
 Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
 Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
 And when the fire's work is done
 Our time to be reborn

 By pagan streams
 wind whips the leaves from the trees
 And it is revealed to us
 That we are dreams within dreams

 Born from some wretched
 Old imagination of yesteryear
 Now all that grows in the skulls of the living
 Are flowers of fear

 The morning new, the morning red,
 The fiery promise
 Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
 Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
 And when the fire's work is done
 Our time to be reborn

 The morning new, the morning red,
 The fiery promise
 Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
 Dedication to the queen of souls, her lost disciples
 And when the fire's work is done
 The phoenix now reborn
