The phoenix – Reveille

The phoenix

The phoenix, no longer a myth
So strike a match and watch it burn
Our destination is rigor mortis
‘Cause nobody listens, nobody learns
And your world rejects my kind
And those words have lost their touch
And this place has lost its mind
So now I wanna burn it up

Humanity is based on trust
But ignorance and arrogance rule the ground
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Now I wanna burn this whole place down!

Leashed, cuffed, locked, hooked
Blow it down, tear it down, burn it down
Blackmail taken
to a whole new level
Motherf**ker, I can’t wait
til I can watch you drown
And you place our trust in you
Reassure us that we’re not to blame
But tables turn and we’re the first to burn
Now I can never look at you the same

Humanity is based on trust
But ignorance and arrogance rule this town
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Now I wanna burn this whole place down!

So take your word and shove it
Come take your deal and shove it
Just take that lie and shove it
I know what you really are

The school in which we learn
is a fire in which we’ll burn
The school in which we learn
is a fire in which we’ll burn
The school in which we learn
is a fire in which we’ll burn
The school in which we learn
is a fire in which we will burn!

Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!

Humility is based on trust
But ignorance and arrogance rule the ground
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Now I wanna burn this whole place down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
