Translation
Bilingual
Child, don't dream of a world you can't see
rather, inspect the one that you're in
Shouting, "I stand alone on the Earth we call home
looking for a God I can trust."
Well, they may call you mad. They may point, they may laugh
Saying, "He sure could have been great."
Your world might collapse as you struggle to grasp
just a fragment of your fate
But to be a phoenix, you first must become ash
And that fire's been lit, so stop trying to clutch the past, my friend
But to be a phoenix, you first must become ash
And that fire's been lit, so stop trying to clutch the past, my friend
Pretty soon, you will burst
out of the Earth
and leave a trail of tongues
in your wake
Everyone knows about the Emperor's clothes
It's the easiest club you could join
It takes far more strength to practice restraint
than to indulge in the noise of your voice
So the challenge is this: could you ever resist
the urge to find my solid ground
From the depths of the sea toward the heights of folly
I've heard only one canonical sound
It went:
To be a phoenix, you first must become ash
And that fire's been lit, so stop trying to clutch the past, my friend
But to be a phoenix, you first must become ash
And that fire's been lit, so stop trying to clutch the past, my friend
Pretty soon you will burst
out of the Earth
and leave a trail of tongues
in your wake
