we are like phoenixeswe will rise from the ashes of our cold existence
we will take the pieces of our broken hearts
and build stronger ones
we will take the darkness into our souls
in order to be washed by the light
we will drain our blood
to create beautiful works of crimson art
we will destroy the forests and weep for our fallen brethren
but we will plant new forests and fields of flowers
we can take anything this universe throws at us
and we will throw it right back
but with the flair of professionals
because we've gotten quite good at this game
we will not fall
we will not be shaken
we will not fear our own demise
we will stand strong in each other
we will rise into the new dawn
on the backs of black moons and crimson suns
our souls will not eclipse
because we have become a marvelous thing
we have become reborn into a perfect state of being
and when we degrade we will regenerate by fire
and the world will fear us at first
but grow to love us in all that we are
because all that we are--is magnificent, superb, and utterly breathtakingly
beautiful
