The Phoenix

O sacred Fire Bird, to the Sun take flight,

Bringing purity, hope, and renewal of Light.

I look to thee, O mystical glorious bird,

For renewal and rebirth, I've been told and heard

That of these and more, you will take my hand

And teach me well the secrets of this land.

So let me fly with you in eternal splendored grace,

With fiery courage I take my rightful place,

And rise from the ashes to reveal my true face.
