Out of the Ashes

Innocent city, caught in the middle
of an ancient desert war
Curse of death upon them
no one knew what for

Those who died were to be
avenged somewhere in time
Those accused will have died by then
decendants pay for the crime

High priest of the city
cast a bird into the well
Evil well of tomorrow
with fire to complete this spell

-Rise up-
Out of the ashes
-Fly up-
Into the sky
-Rise up-
Lead us to victory
Destroy those who lie

So, all was forgotten
of the city, priest, and curse
Until the day of the sight
A phoenix from the earth

An omen for the children
of the damned to arise
To follow the bird of fire
and end eternal cries

-Rise up-
Out of the ashes
-Fly up-
Into the sky
-Rise up-
Lead us to victory
Teach us how to fly

Spreading like a plague
Across the sands of time
Go into the cities
and burn all they find

To right the wrong
and see justice done
Innocence to anger
and death by the power of the sun

-Rise up-
Out of the ashes
-Fly up-
Into the sky
-Rise up-
Lead us to victory
We no longer cry

The war machines of now
could not withstand the fury
of the bird of fire
and His deadly jury
