Phoenix
Amidst the ruby flames
Above the dying embers
Around a cloak of fire, circles higher
Following the sun, wing beats
Within concealed is a heart of fire
Behind an inferno of blazing tail feathers unfurled
Out of the ashes a burning sun is born
Around her, sparks set fire to flames that will never die
Against the azure sky, she is stronger than the fire
Above the dying embers
Around a cloak of fire, circles higher
Following the sun, wing beats
Within concealed is a heart of fire
Behind an inferno of blazing tail feathers unfurled
Out of the ashes a burning sun is born
Around her, sparks set fire to flames that will never die
Against the azure sky, she is stronger than the fire

That captures neatly an essential feel of the phoenix - nice choice of phrasing.
And welcome to DUP, Josh.
