Stephen Brunette ft. Fairlight Moriah - Dreams of Phoenixes (Song for Burners) Lyrics

We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas
We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowing ashes of burning dreams
We are not alone, yeah we are all one
Searchin’ in a cold, dark night for a little warmth, a little light
Maybe a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams
We’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case we see
A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire
A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky
Sometimes I’m blinded by fire, sometimes I think I see the light
Sometimes I see the future dancin’ in the flame like the spirit of the phoenix who will fly tonight
Sometimes I’m blinded by fear, when I don’t see where we’re goin’ from here,
Sometimes I see the way so clear, but when I try to walk it all alone, it disappears
I need a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams
I’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case I see
A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire
A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky
Here’s to the American dream, born in troubled times
Here’s to the American dream, born to be reborn in you and I
Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ in the glow of a funeral pyre
Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ with the soul of a phoenix born to fly
We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas
We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowin’ ashes of burning dreams
Sometimes we’re blinded by fire, sometimes we think we see the light
Sometimes we see the future dancin’ in the flame
Like the spirit of the phoenix who I pray will fly tonight

We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas
We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowing ashes of burning dreams
We are not alone, yeah we are all one
Searchin’ in a cold, dark night for a little warmth, a little light
Maybe a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams
We’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case we see
A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire
A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky
Sometimes I’m blinded by fire, sometimes I think I see the light
Sometimes I see the future dancin’ in the flame like the spirit of the phoenix who will fly tonight
Sometimes I’m blinded by fear, when I don’t see where we’re goin’ from here,
Sometimes I see the way so clear, but when I try to walk it all alone, it disappears
I need a fire, a funeral pyre, to sacrifice some old dreams
I’ll keep a close watch through the night, in case I see
A new dream, a phoenix, rise from the ash of the cleansing fire
A new dream, a phoenix, fly in the mornin’ sky
Here’s to the American dream, born in troubled times
Here’s to the American dream, born to be reborn in you and I
Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ in the glow of a funeral pyre
Here’s to you, American dreamer, dancin’ with the soul of a phoenix born to fly
We live in bluegrass deserts, we live by risin’ seas
We live in holy wars and hedge funds, we live in glowin’ ashes of burning dreams
Sometimes we’re blinded by fire, sometimes we think we see the light
Sometimes we see the future dancin’ in the flame
Like the spirit of the phoenix who I pray will fly tonight
