Tony's Website

by Antoine Faddoul

 

For thousands of years,

the firebird flew over the ring;

with feathers of gold and fire,

and a heavenly voice to sing;

its life and death was a legend,

with sorrow and glory to bring

 

For as it goes through fire,

passioned with a rebirth desire;

it burns to ashes,

and a new life dashes;

for the Phoenix shall rise

 

Over the mountains of Lebanon,

the Phoenix never slept;

the Cedars covered with snow,

mourned its people and wept;

for the living cities are ruined,

and their inhabitants are swept

 

And as it goes through fire,

passioned with a rebirth desire;

it burns to ashes,

and a new life dashes;

for the Phoenix shall rise

 

Over and over wars ruled,

and the land never had rest;

glorious civilizations perished,

yet rebuilt to their best;

with a living nation's will

answering a divine request

 

For as it goes through fire,

passioned with a rebirth desire;

it burns to ashes,

and a new life dashes;

for the Phoenix shall rise.
