You've pushed my buttons And thought I wouldn't crack No reaction from my side That I'd be pleased with lack Lack of love, lack of faith Lack of home, serving fate But I got a glimpse You can't take away They say that when you're angry You lose your composure You keep changing your strategies But I've become a lotus From the mud, through the dirt I've survived and I bloomed Now your minions are panicking 'Cause they ain't got shit on me (boo-hoo) Ashes don't apologize And dead men don't rape If I could draw a sword I would make sure to wipe them Off the face of this planet— Those that do harm Without them realizing I'm choking them by the throat! I'm calm like a Buddha In the eye of the storm Detaching from outcomes Releasing control And I'm crying less The more you provoke me I see through your schemes You thought you would choke me Your hidden agenda Ain't hidden at all I brace myself for impact Run my protocol Your opponent is me And I bet you had thought I'd be an easy target... But you don't know the strength of love But you don't know the strength of love Yeah it's love that gives me wings Each time I am kicked To the curb by you Emotions dismissed You thought you're the only But my life has been this So I squeezed the goddamn lemons Until the juice squirts You told me to eat metal Now I got an iron heart You took away my blisses And watched me fight for scraps But in your big ignorance One thing escaped your plan That I'd come out stronger On the other side! Never underestimate A girl who loves a boy A girl who is an artist Whose art will heal the world 'Cause I've become a Phoenix From the fire you ignited Ashes don't apologize And my ashes will be fighting! I'm calm like a Buddha In the eye of the storm Detaching from outcomes Releasing control And I'm crying less The more you provoke me I see through your schemes You thought you would choke me Your hidden agenda Ain't hidden at all I brace myself for impact Run my protocol Your opponent is me And I bet you had thought I'd be an easy target... But you don't know the strength of love But you don't know the strength of love You know the story The only one there is Empires fall Due to their own hubris The immortal king Ends up dying too And people start dreaming Of a different view Maybe there's no guillotine This time Just the joy of the people Celebrating life Singing, dancing, loving The biggest protest They're not on the streets to kill— They kiss their lovers And those at the top Yeah, they cannot stand it 'Cause divided, we fall But united, we're standing Full of dignity We won't apologize For the smell of the ashes That makes Phoenixes rise! Ashes to ashes Circle of life Death is at stake And eternal life What are we doing? Let's all face the pain 'Cause fear has got big eyes... Its real name is shame (shame... shame... shame....) I'm calm like a Buddha In the eye of the storm Detaching from outcomes Releasing control And I'm crying less The more you provoke me I see through your schemes You thought you would choke me Your hidden agenda Ain't hidden at all I brace myself for impact Run my protocol Your opponent is me And I bet you had thought I'd be an easy target I'm calm like a Buddha In the eye of the storm Detaching from outcomes Releasing control And I'm crying less The more you provoke me I see through your schemes You thought you would choke me Your hidden agenda Ain't hidden at all I brace myself for impact Run my protocol Your opponent is me And I bet you had thought I'd be an easy target... But you don't know the strength of love Yeah I've planned for this Maybe for millennia I befriended dragons And got areflexia To your cruel schemes I've softened the darkness Fed it from my hand My eyes full of madness You don't know my next step Where my foot will go Thought I'd be your audience But I run the show The stage is all mine And you got front row seats To watch as I'm rising... While you face defeat (yo) Ashes don't apologize... Let the stench reach the Heavens and Hell... And every corner of the world... You sent the fire to destroy me... But I've tamed each element. (Now, you should really fear me) (ha ha)
