------------------------------
I never thought it would come to this
Never expected my heart to be at risk
But now that it has happened
I close my eyes and float on the wind...
Phoenix dancing among the fires
Twining in and out among the colored flames
Rose held firmly in your mighty talons
Blending the two of you into one
You sing your song in the flames
Burning for that which you desire
Sing some more my avian flame
Share with me the secrets you keep
Dancing, dancing oh creature of wonder
Keeping my eyes glued to you
Touch me, touch me, bird of fire
Guide me into that sensual burning
The rose grows among the flames
It's petals edged in silver
Growing, blooming, reaching still
Wrapping itself around the bird of fire
Burning, burning the two become one
Showing me what I seek
Burning, yearning, blending, binding
Binding me to the vows I now speak
Quicksilver flame of my heart
Blood red rose on the pyre
Phoenix and rose, the two become one
Now show me what it is you desire.
