Satyricon - Phoenix (feat. Sivert Høyem)

Into the night
My long suffering friend
We'll be reborn again
Right here where everything ends
Face to the sky
A trail of smoke in the air
Pass into empiness
New life's awaiting you there
Slave to some wretched old imagination of yesteryear
All that growns in the skulls of living are flowers of fear

The morning red
A Sun God calling you back
Down through a thousand years
White embers whistle and crack
Await the dawn with her kiss of redemption, my firebird!
You were the queen of the souls of men before there was the w-o-r-d

The morning new, the morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication
To the queen of souls
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
Our time to be reborn

By pagan streams
A wind whips the leaves from the trees
And it's revealed to us
That we are dreams within the dreams
Born from some wretched old imagination of yesteryear
Now all the growns in the skulls of living are flowers of fear

The morning new, the morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication
To the queen of souls
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
Our time to be reborn

The morning new, the morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke wheels round her head
Dedication
To the queen of souls
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
The phoenix now reborn
