Reverse Phoenix (Eagles burn slow)
Don’t shield your eyes now
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies, feed me your hate,
While my favorite colors devour your skin.
Don’t shield your eyes, no, no.
Look at the bounty you wish to yield.
Don’t shield your eyes now, no.
I want to see steam rise from your falling tears.
I feel like the flames are dancing for me.
This is better than screens,
Watching it burn,
Watching it fly away in the wind.
I’ll watch while you reach for
The sky you condemned.
I love you the way that you loved me.
I’ll savor the feeling of you up in smoke.
Burn slow, eagle,
Don’t land just yet.
Reverse phoenix,
Our lives for your death.
Burn slow.
Burn slow.
