Lyrics

The sunrise won't come easy
While the thoughts within my head
Still tease me.
Knowing you will never play with me again
The games we had.
Oh, what games we had.
The sounds the dawn engenders
Find me sitting, staring at the cinders
Of the pyre you and I together
Charge ourselves to build.
A fire of birth; a prophesy fulfilled.

I celebrate the funeral of a good friend.
I celebrate the birthing of a child.
I praise the resurrection of the Phoenix
In that I only have to miss her
For a while.

Through the ages you have wandered.
Holding love when love was sorely squandered.
Caught up in that endless wave
Of death and birth.
A game gone mad
As the wheel turns.
The daybreak won't come easy
Until these burning thoughts
Within release me.
I have known you once again
And then you've gone
Once again. You have gone.

I celebrate the funeral of a good friend.
I celebrate the birthing of a child.
I praise the resurrection of the Phoenix
In that I only have to miss her
For a while.

I celebrate the funeral of a good friend.
I celebrate the birthing of a child.
I praise the resurrection of the Phoenix
In that I only have to miss her
For a while.
