Paradox of Fire

[Verse 1]
I rise from the ashes, a fiery soul
Misunderstood by many, my heart made of coal
They see my flames, but not my pain
A symbol of power, but also of shame

[Chorus]
I'm the phoenix, not the shy type
My wings are dark, but my fire burns bright

[Verse 2]
I'm a creature of darkness, yet seeks to take flight.
I search for redemption, a chance to be free 
A paradox of fire and of the night 
From shadows which haunt & flames that consume me 

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I'll control my fire 
Then I'll find my heart's desire

[Verse 3]
What’s the point if I always burn
To miss the lesson if I never learn
I will hold on and might at long last
Overcome the mistakes of my past

[Outro]
I wish I may, I wish I might
Rise above the ashes, and emerge into the light
