Phoenix of the Past

Verse 1 In the ruins of a castle built on dreams, I wandered through the echoes of the seams, Where love once stood with golden crown, But now the thorns have claimed the ground. Her voice was like a siren’s call, A melody that held me in its thrall, But shadows danced where light should be, And blinded eyes refused to see. Chorus Now I’m breaking free from the chains of the past, No longer a captive to what couldn’t last. The taste of freedom’s a bittersweet wine, As I walk this road, I’ll make it mine. No more lost in the maze of regret, I’m finding my way, and I won’t forget. From ashes of love that couldn’t survive, A phoenix is rising, I’m coming alive. Verse 2 In the mirror, reflections change, A man reborn, no longer estranged. The scars they left, they tell a tale, Of battles fought, but I prevailed. Her eyes, they whispered promises of gold, But the truth in lies, too dark to hold. A lesson learned, the fire burned, Now with every step, I’ve returned. Chorus Now I’m breaking free from the chains of the past, No longer a captive to what couldn’t last. The taste of freedom’s a bittersweet wine, As I walk this road, I’ll make it mine. No more lost in the maze of regret, I’m finding my way, and I won’t forget. From ashes of love that couldn’t survive, A phoenix is rising, I’m coming alive. Bridge In the eyes of a new dawn, I see her face, A vision of hope, a fleeting grace. But I’m not the same as I was before, The heart that was broken, is broken no more. With every beat, I feel the change, A rhythm of life, so sweet, so strange. The girl in the distance, she’s calling me, But this time, it’s different—I’m finally free. Chorus Now I’m breaking free from the chains of the past, No longer a captive to what couldn’t last. The taste of freedom’s a bittersweet wine, As I walk this road, I’ll make it mine. No more lost in the maze of regret, I’m finding my way, and I won’t forget. From ashes of love that couldn’t survive, A phoenix is rising, I’m coming alive. Outro In the dance of the night, under the moon's soft glow, I’ve found a place where my heart can grow. The past is a shadow, fading fast, And in the arms of the future, I’ll make it last.
