[Lyrics by Greenwolf] [Spatial guitar solo] [Slow egyptian guitar riff] [Verse 1] I was given life by the Sun God Ra In ancient times of old~~~~ Worshipped by the Egyptian tribes Who brought tributes of spice and gold [Spatial egyptian guitar riff] [Verse 2] I live for a half a millennia In flames my ashes scattered the earth~~~ And from the flames I rise again A symbol of death and rebirth [Spatial guitar solo] [Heavy guitar riff with syncopated symphonic flow running as counter melody] [Syncopated guitar solo] [Heavy guitar riff with syncopated symphonic flow running as counter melody] [Syncopated guitar solo] [Verse 3] Now with every passing cycle watching the growth of man Losing their spirituality No longer respecting the land [Verse 4] As concrete replaces trees Becoming tombs as species die No room to spread my wings Through polluted smog filled skies [Complex guitar solo with syncopated flow] [Symphonic orchestra hook] [Emotional spatial guitar solo] [Heavy anthemic guitar riff] [Melodic guitar solo] [Syncopated guitar riff and orchestra] [Verse 5] I have lived for way too long Hoping each death would be my last Weakened by the lost belief My fables forgotten in the past [Verse 6] As nature cries her lands barren To make way for so called progress Man's lost it's way So blinded by greed They can't see the Earth's distress [Pre-chorus] I long to return to simpler times To escape this man made hell [Chorus] Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I watch man's march to destruction Will I still be here,~~.. When all life has gone [Verse 7] Every breath Every one I take It burns deep into my heart and lungs I'm so used to clean air of old Instead of the taste of coal on my tongue [Pre-chorus] I long to return to simpler times To escape this man made hell [Chorus] Why must I rise again from the flames [Chorus] Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I watch man's march to destruction Will I still be here,~~.. When all life has gone [Symphonic orchestra instrumental] [Melodic classical guitar solo] [Verse 8] As I drink from polluted streams I cry for the dead fish floating by Every species that nature nutured I am cursed to watch them all die [Pre-chorus] I long to return to simpler times To escape this man made hell [Chorus] Why must I rise again from the flames Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I rise again from the flames Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I watch man's march to destruction Will I still be here,~~.. When all life has gone [Orchestra] [Symphonic orchestra with strings and percussion] [Soaring melodic guitar solo with syncopated orchestra] [Complex guitar solo] [syncopated drums] [polyrhymic time signatures] [Melodic guitar solo] [Chorus] Why must I rise again from the flames Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I rise again from the flames Why must I rise again from the flames When the world I knew has gone Why must I watch man's march to destruction Will I still be here,~~.. When all life has gone [Symphonic orchestra with strings and percussion] [Melodic guitar solo] [Spacey orchestra] [Verse 9] As I gaze upon this hazy red landscape A barren lifeless land Once so vibrant and full of life Until the rise of man I look up towards the sky Now hidden by dust I realise I must spread my wings And leave this holocaust [Emotional spatial guitar solo] [Verse 10] Soaring past the stratosphere Leaving my old home behind Who know what awaits me Out there among the stars [Psychedelic spacey orchestra and guitars] [Verse 11] A whole universe to discover On a long and lonely journey Will I find a new spark of life OUt there among the stars [Spacey orchestra] [Verse 12] With each passing regeneration My heart grows ever weary Still I search for signs of life Amongst the nearest of stars [Spacey orchestra] [Emotional guitar solo] [Outro] A millennia alone Am I forever doomed to relive this lonely existence [Ending]
