I woke up from my winter sleep In a narrow cave that used to be my room No risk and no danger Between a few pieces of paper in the dining room I gnaw the sand out of my eyes Still so empty and so right out there From tomorrow I'm away from here Apartment empty, only a note at the door All the old plans, the trot and the contracts In this emptiness we only stand in the way All the old plans, the trot and the contracts You only give flames, I light them up I turn around and everything is in flames From the ashes the phoenix rises Started from the beginning From the ashes the phoenix is born I spread my wings and fly towards the red night And everything is in flames Because the ashes bring out the phoenix I let balloons rise into the red sky So they show me the way to the unknown No rules and no laws I want to find where the truth is I want to never land again The doubts are gone and it feels right Ready for the legends of the night I stand awake on the roof of this city I turn around and everything is in flames From the ashes the phoenix rises Started from the beginning From the ashes the phoenix is born I spread my wings and fly towards the red night And everything is in flames Because the ashes bring out the phoenix If you're looking for something, I'm lucky I don't turn around, I never come back I breathe in without asking questions I breathe out, I hear the forest in the distance I hold on, there's nothing that holds me Nothing that holds me I turn around and everything is in flames From the ashes the phoenix rises Started from the beginning From the ashes the phoenix is born I spread my wings and fly towards the red night And everything is in flames Because the ashes bring out the phoenix
