From the recording Pear In The Pink Thing
Lyrics
Once More
Formed from the dust of the ash on this altar.
Forged in the flame of this funeral fire.
Sanctified though I stumble and I falter.
Reborn in the heat of His blazing desire!
I will rise like the phoenix to fly once more,
On brave new wings that reach and soar.
And I'll find what I was created for
Once more. Once more.
Shaped from the midst of the ash on this altar.
Purged in the pain of this burial pyre.
Purified though I stagger and falter.
Reborn in the zeal of His raging desire!
Melting my heart
Searing my soul
Touching my lips
With His burning coal
He purifies
And leaves me whole
Once more. Once more.
I will rise like the phoenix to fly once more,
On brave new wings that reach and soar.
And I'll find what I was created for
Once more. Once more.
I will rise like the phoenix to fly once more,
No captive bird bound as before.
And I'll live what I was intended for
Once more. Once more. Once more.
