"The Phoenix Requiem" featuring Metallica

By Joséli Costa Jantsch Ribeiro

 

She was reaching out for something to do,

That makes her feel alive and brand new,
And she found it in you, open minded
With not so different views

All that was, is and will be,
The disturbing thoughts,
The misunderstood points,
Simply don’t matter anymore

What she’d felt
What she’d learned
What she’d known
Shined through in what she’d shown

Through constant pained disgrace
This blazing Phoenix learned some rules
She struggled on and on, battled constantly
A fight she could not win

All that was and still is
Turning through the never
Ending space and time
She’s all alone in the dark.

The loving Phoenix’s
Struggling within
Getting herself prepared
To live her last death

No, she never opened
Herself this way,
All this words
She does not just say

But, since she was
Labeled as “The Unforgiven”
Nothing else matters
Anyway!
