[Intro]
(Haaaa... haaaa... haaaa...)
[Verse 1]
Wings like wildfire, eyes like the sun,
Born in the blaze, never outdone.
Ashes behind me, glory ahead,
I rise from the silence they thought was dead.
[Pre-chorus]
Gold in my feathers, rage in my bones,
I sing through the smoke in victorious tones.
I break every chain with the beat of my wings,
A creature of fire that never begs.
[Chorus]
I'm a rebel
Love the taste of defiance
Burn me down — I dare you to try,
I’ll come back brighter and scorch the sky.
I’m not a legend, I’m not a lie,
I’m the flame they fear and the reason why.
[Verse 2]
Grace in the chaos, calm in the heat,
I fall just to rise, I break to complete.
No death can end what’s born to ignite—
I am the Phoenix, eternal in flight.
[Pre-chorus]
I'm not just survival, I’m glory refined,
A symbol of power they’ll never define.
Where others see ashes, I see the throne—
I rise like a kingdom carved out of my own.
[Chorus]
I'm a rebel
Love the taste of defiance
Burn me down — I dare you to try,
I’ll come back brighter and scorch the sky.
I’m not a legend, I’m not a lie,
I’m the flame they fear and the reason why.
[Bridge]
I won’t bow, I won’t break
I’ll ignite what they forsake
March alone, but never small
Hear my echo through it all
[Break]
stand tall…
[Chorus]
I'm a rebel
Love the taste of defiance
Burn me down — I dare you to try,
I’ll come back brighter and scorch the sky.
I’m not a legend, I’m not a lie,
I’m the flame they fear and the reason why.
