Phoenix
RCW

A phoenix in the dust
Rising up again
Its perpetual rebirth
Wearing itself thin

It’s life a continuous process
Of lying and cheating friends
Upon each existence
It does it, again and again

The bastard of the Father,
The Son and the Holy Ghost.
Beaten, bruised and left alone
By those who should love most

Led astray by the truth
To lead those about it the same
Using emotions, love and hate
To play its own sick game.

This lying, this forgiveness;
Eternal love based in fear
Beginning every morning
Ending each night in tears

Waking to shake the ashes off
To ignore the voice within
Rising with no lesson learned
To begin, again, in sin.
