lyrics

Je vois un phénix volant dans les airs
Je vois un phénix émergeant des cendres
Je vois un phénix brûler une maison de verre
Je vois un phénix qui s'envole sans souci

Un oiseau, une flamme, les deux criaient mon nom
Volez dans les airs puis venez m’enlever
Tout ce dont je crevé n’est qu’un baiser
Oh phénix, tu me fais frémir de passion

Rise, phénix rise, phénix flies, born again
Die, phénix sighs, phénix dies in a bed of flame
Rise, phénix rise, phénix flies, born again
Die, phénix sighs, phénix dies in a bed of flame

A bird of flame calling out my name
Symbolizing change through trials of pain
It took a while for the change to come
But it’s here to stay and we’ve just begun
To fly, to soar, to shine like stars
Coming out of hiding, coming out of the dark
The longer the wait, the greater the prize
It’s time sublime for the phénix to rise

Je vois un phénix volant dans les airs
Je vois un phénix émergeant des cendres
Je vois un phénix brûler une maison de verre
Je vois un phénix qui s'envole sans souci

Un oiseau, une flamme, les deux criaient mon nom
Planez dans les airs puis venez m’enlever
Tout ce dont je crevé n’est qu’un toucher
Oh phénix, tu me fais frémir de passion
