A Phoenix Lament

I'm tired and thin

Haven't slept since the war

I'm a mess of wounded skin

Like a wine sack that's been torn.

In the sacred space

Behind the lids of my eyes

Mad-Eye darkly holds my gaze

And I can still see Fredrick's laughing face.

It's not enough

To say that time

Can mend my wings

That one day I'll fly.

And it's not enough

This acheless scar

Some wounds are still burning

Let me live as one earning his life.

And we all fall down

And we all fall down

Behind the lids of my eyes

I can still see Fredrick's laughing face

Far away

And I can still see Fredrick's laughing face.

It's not enough (not enough)

To say that time (say that time)

Can mend my wings (mend my wings)

That one day I'll fly (one day I'll fly)

It's not enough (not enough)

This acheless scar (acheless scar)

Some wounds are still burning (wounds are still burning)

Let me live as one earning his life.

Darkest nights turn into dawns

Golden lights are chords of songs of love

Something death cannot erase
