Flags in the Parade

de Scarlet Tanager

The silence that once used to stifle my breath
Is now the very pulse that conquers death
The shadows that fear used to cast on my way
Are nothing but echoes now fading to gray
The scorched earth I walked through, so barren and dry
Held the seed of the man who is reaching the sky

I feel it pulsing, the blood’s inner fire
The end was the spark for the soul to aspire
No longer in chains, no more walls in my sight
The darkness is gone as I follow the light

The pain was the flame where my spirit was cast
The weight of the world couldn't hold to the last

Rise from the ashes, I’ll stand once again
Leaving behind all the ghosts and the rain
I lift up my head, looking high to the blue
I am the Phoenix, breaking right through!

The Sea of Grief is now far in the past
Beneath the surface, I found peace at last
Every scar is a map of a glory won
A trace of the wars and the deeds I have done
What once was broken, time healed with its hand
The soul in the dark now blooms over the land

From the ashes the past had once left on the floor
A new kind of strength has walked through the door
The veil of the sorrow can't hold me in thrall
I rise with the winds, standing steady and tall

The weight of the world couldn't pull me down far
I'll rise from the ashes and shine like a star

Rise from the ashes, I’ll stand once again
Leaving behind all the ghosts and the rain
I lift up my head, looking high to the blue
I am the Phoenix, breaking right through!
