If I should leave this mortal world
Cry not for me
For, like the magnificent and splendid phoenix
I shall rise again
Majestic, alluring and glorious shall be my form
Rising, rising pretty as a picture up to the heavens
From the ashes of my earthly beginnings
I shall rule the sky and air
Be immortal for ever more
No longer will I have a care for the mortality
Of the given number of my years
I shall be reborn of the sun
Obtain new life from the flames
In colors of gold and scarlet I will rise
Supernatural and pure
I shall soar like the eagle
And live for ever more
Free from the cares and restrictions
Of a life numbered in such fleeting years
I shall at last, be free!
