No Phoenix

Spreading

burning, twisting, dissolving

the anger sings to you

with the voices of shattering stars

there is no phoenix rising

for those taken by Anger

the Phoenix is taken

for Anger's own pet

to sit in a cage

and cry with a nightmare's scream

and cackle over the graves of broken dreams

and to sing in the Devil's court

there is no Phoenix for those lost in anger

those taken in by voices like shattering stars.
