I made my choices long ago
I found the path I was destined to go
I'm not giving up 'til I'm number one
Gonna light the fuse, then the job will be done
I'm not asking for permission
And I don't need your signed consent
I'm not saying you should follow where I go
I just wanted you to know
When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong
Set the world on fire, transcend ever higher
Now, you may think I am out of my mind
A word of wisdom for all mankind
You'll never know where you'll be when it ends
Born out of fire, I'll go down in flames
I'm not asking for permission
And I don't need your signed consent
I'm not saying you should follow where I go
I just wanted you to know
When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong
Set the stage on fire
When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong
Panic and fear in their eyes
Flames rising higher
Nobody knows what to do
The man is on fire
Running in circles and shouting
As somebody dies
My work is done here, I'm leaving
A saint in disguise
A phoenix on fire
