Embers burning
Glowing like the furnace of a heart that doesn't want to die
Cinders glowing
Smoking into ephemeral figurines that dance in clouds
Sweet time to build an atom bomb from mem'ries of an Oppenheimer dream
Dissolved in a fire of gifts fit for a king, then reassembled like a warm machine
Ashes smoking
Cooling like a sapphire that has nothing left to say
Charcoal cocoon:
a hope, a glimmer. Something more will come of this
Sweet time to build an atom bomb from mem'ries of an Oppenheimer dream
Dissolved in a fire of gifts fit for a king, then reassembled like a warm machine
Cry, phoenix, cry
So that tears from your eyes
May be tossed from the skies
Where your flames brightly fly
Making soldiers reply
Unto death as they die
That untimely demise
Will not force their goodbyes
As you fall from on high
And your evening is nigh
But by morning you rise
And your living defies
Ends
Look out for me
Watch out for the way my spirit bends
Right behind me,
Are you enemies or are you friends? It depends...
Will you be there for me
To light me with a magnifying lens?
Or will you let me grow old,
Cold with moldy gold
As I cry silently
Like an alarm about to sound
Sweet time to build an atom bomb from mem'ries of an Oppenheimer dream
Dissolved in a fire of gifts fit for a king, then reassembled like a warm machine
Sound up
Sound off
Go up
In flames
