As The Mighty Phoenix (Into The Wildfires)

You must believe
In order to survive
When you choose to fly
Into the wildfires
That these flames
Possess the power
To purify
That you will
Come out more alive
That you will
Rise
Anew with the water of life
Welling up from the ashes
As the mighty phoenix
You must
Believe this
