Phoenix
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My foot leaves the ground and when i am found
On this soil again i will be a different man
Cause i know it's a path that i knew couldn't last
The one thing left to ask
Is will i come back alive again
I have never faced anything this deep before
I have never needed so much change in me,
I'm sure that this will both destroy
And raise me up to life again
So let's begin
Chorus
Kill me to raise me
Wound me to heal me
I will feel the sting of death
If it will bring your living breath
Bring refining fire
Melt my desire
Kill the death that haunts my soul
And let your spirit come and make me whole
Won't you come and make me whole
I'm shaking off the dust
From this old heart of rust
Knowing that it must somehow be made flesh again
I'm so desperate to feel
Just one thing that is real
And finally reveal
The wounds that have bled me dry
I have never faced anything this deep before
I have never needed so much change in me,
I'm sure that this will both destroy
And raise me up to life again
So let's begin
Chorus
The smell of death has lingered in my heart for far too long
Cause i have let the old man rot when he should have been gone
Set a bonfire, burning high
And let the ashes fertilize my heart
That this death might be the start of life in me
Chorus
