Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Serpent of light, movement of the soul
Crawling stately along the spine
Mighty phoenix, from the ashes arises
Firebird cycle, life, regenerate the cell
[Verse 2]
Life burns fierce, reduced to ashes
Resurrection from the flame, ageless process
Quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect
Self-consuming womb, ever-present, meet no end
[Verse 3]
It seems like I always knew this
Since I'm a child I can feel it
My inner light everlasting
Revolving within a circle
[Verse 4]
Extended wings I'm flying
Over the valleys and planes
The curve of space I'm leaving
Death is just an illusion
[Verse 5]
Oroborus symbol of eternal life
Dig a tunnel through light, through ignorant walls
I'm counting the days but I'm dying
Grow up with impatience I'm falling down
[Verse 6]
On the peaks of radiant mountains
This truth is growing before before me
My attention fixed on this silence
Rediscover life while I'm breathing
[Verse 7]
Designing the shape of material
Frozen icon distant reminder
Mankind has forgotten the gateways
By the mouth of the serpent regenerate
