Life, solemn and cold Mostly resembles a pile of ashes Still they all fall short, none bold One can only pray that bliss will take hold But then, something magical begins to take flight From the cold isolation sitting there in the night And from the pile this began to ascend You, the Phoenix, rose apart from them
You lit the sky with brilliant fire Similar to which you lit my desire Desire to cherish this blessing from high Your beauty as dazzling as the fire in the sky Your love like the sunset, in which there’s no fear Because come morning I know it will be here And in this eternity I know we can stay For I wish to hold it the rest of my days
For from despair I’ll finally awaken As my heart you quickly have taken And take you may, but protect you must And together we can stay out of the dust For ash is not as dismal nor sad as I feared When in my arms, I can hold you right here The fire to keep us warm in the cold Our love to burn forever, as we grow old And if my body becomes ash again For you my love would rise from them
Dedicated to the girl who has my heart and my love forever
