Fire is the sun and the moon These dusty fields and broken streets I walk through Fire is everyday and every word And I am ashes Ashes Spread amongst the purslain And the charging ocean winds The vestigial glint of hope I am ashes Now A ceremony As ashes fall into place I have to die To be reborn Oh How have I died? Only in your eyes and in your arms I was burning with the rage of bullets And pin-struck amorous lighting A thousand needles Each speaking the name of the flame And stubbornly stabbing My mind ablaze in torrid heat How have I died? Only in whatever way I had to I am ashes Falling slowly from the life I used to have When all was fire And I was cinder I am ashes Formulating in unexplained definitions Where love is death and birth The let of knowing holding on And no wind could tarry me assunder I am ashes From a life before A living heartbeat And belief I am ashes Falling into place Every little part of me Who I was And who I'll be

The Way Of The Phoenix
Fire is the sun and the moon These dusty fields and broken streets I walk through Fire is everyday and every word And I am ashes Ashes Spread amongst the purslain And the charging ocean winds The vestigial glint of hope I am ashes Now A ceremony As ashes fall into place I have to die To be reborn Oh How have I died? Only in your eyes and in your arms I was burning with the rage of bullets And pin-struck amorous lighting A thousand needles Each speaking the name of the flame And stubbornly stabbing My mind ablaze in torrid heat How have I died? Only in whatever way I had to I am ashes Falling slowly from the life I used to have When all was fire And I was cinder I am ashes Formulating in unexplained definitions Where love is death and birth The let of knowing holding on And no wind could tarry me assunder I am ashes From a life before A living heartbeat And belief I am ashes Falling into place Every little part of me Who I was And who I'll be
