These shadows, they haunt me
These voices in my head, foreboding
This black cloud, it haunts me
Its presence takes a hold upon me

Now I'm rising up like the phoenix
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Make it out alive, no
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me
You tried to take away everything
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light

Exposed now, they see me
And everything I am, no hiding
Feel no shame, uprising
The darkness can be so enlightening

Now I'm rising up like the phoenix
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Make it out alive, no
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me
You tried to take away everything
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light

Now I don't care about the shit that used to bother me
All my worries and fears crumble before me
Why care about all of the petty crap that people say?
Stand up, dust yourself off and fly away!

Now I'm rising up like the phoenix
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Make it out alive, no
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me
You tried to take away everything
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
