Rise like Fire

Rise like Fire

Burned to ash, then built up higher—

When I rise, I rise like fire.

I’m fanning the flames of panic,

I’m ready to make some static.

Burned to ash, then built up higher—

When you rise, you rise like fire.

This is the menace of our shame,

It calls us by every sort of name.

Burned to ash, then built up higher—

When I rise, I rise like fire.

Burned to ash, then built up higher—

When we rise, we rise like fire.

We are the phoenix flying higher—

Now we rise, and we are fire.
