Phoenix From the Flames
Silke Bischoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you miss me?
I've seen heaven, I've seen hell
Touch me now
I was lost in the dark
Dreaming of you
In the shadows of the past
I am here
End of the game
Rising to the stars
I know your name
The phoenix from the flames
If you wanna follow me
You can stay
Hello I'm back again
This is not about hate
I'm the devil in your dreams
I never hated anyone
Look into my eyes
500 years
Deliver me from this life
Which is a tourment
Like fire in the rain
Rising to the stars
I know your name
The phoenix from the flames
If you wanna follow me
You can stay
Like fire in the rain
Rising to the stars
I know your name
I'm dreaming of you
The phoenix from the flames
If you wanna follow me
You can stay
Like fire in the rain
Rising to the stars
I know your name
I'm dreaming of you
The phoenix from the flames
If you wanna follow me
You can stay
