Seb Woodland - The Restless Phoenix

Once upon a time
A mighty phoenix flew
He burst with light, and fires bright
And was reborn anew
His luscious feathers gold
A silky soothing down
And like a wreath, he sat beneath
A feathery flaming crown
Once upon a time
A mighty phoenix died
He could not rest, and so his quest
He had to set aside
His love was put on hold
So he could resurrect
For ashen wings of ancient kings
Could not depart unchecked

Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix
He's lived a hundred deaths to live today
Oh how he yearns for freedom
It's time to put your arrows all away

Once upon a time
A stealthy hunter stood
She saw his flame and took her aim
As any hunter would
And when she saw him rise
A thought came to her mind
She felt no shame and found a game
With rules that she designed
She had her clothing charmed
To shield her from the heat
So when he ached she never baked
In flames so bittersweet
And though she saw him hurt
And grew to love the bird
She loved the thrill too much to still
The thirst that in her stirred

Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix
He's lived a hundred deaths to live today
Oh how he yearns for freedom
It's time to put your arrows all away
Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix
He's lived a hundred lives to love today
Oh how he yearns for friendship
It's time to leave your sorrows all away

The phoenix cried aloud
"I know you're having fun
But all your lust has made me dust
Oh when will you be done?"
"I've grown to love your laugh
To love your winning smile
But can't I rest and manifest
And let me live a while?"
The hunter paused in thought
Alarmed to hear him speak
Her shielded heart was torn apart
Surprised to feel so weak
Unsure of what to feel
She fell upon a glade
He flew to her, and there they were
Embracing in the shade

Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix
He's lived a hundred deaths to live today
Oh how he yearns for freedom
It's time to put your arrows all away
Hark! Hark! The Restless Phoenix
He's lived a hundred lives to love today
Oh how he yearns for friendship
It's time to leave your sorrows all away
