Dreams of Phoenixes (Song for Burners) [feat. Fairlight Moriah] Lyrics

We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas

We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowing ashes of burning dreams

We are not alone, yeah we are all one

Searchin’ in a cold, dark night for a little warmth, a little light

Maybe a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams

We’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case we see

A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire

A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky

Sometimes I’m blinded by fire, sometimes I think I see the light

Sometimes I see the future dancin’ in the flame like the spirit of the phoenix who will fly tonight

Sometimes I’m blinded by fear, when I don’t see where we’re goin’ from here,

Sometimes I see the way so clear, but when I try to walk it all alone, it disappears

I need a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams

I’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case I see

A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire

A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky

Here’s to the American dream, born in troubled times

Here’s to the American dream, born to be reborn in you and I

Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ in the glow of a funeral pyre

Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ with the soul of a phoenix born to fly

We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas

We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowin’ ashes of burning dreams

Sometimes we’re blinded by fire, sometimes we think we see the light

Sometimes we see the future dancin’ in the flame

Like the spirit of the phoenix who I pray will fly tonight
