Firebird Lyrics - Magnum

The secret torn from a temple of stone 

Still living in memory grey and so cold 

Beneath the veil of the mystery lies 

Dark promises telling all none can withhold 

Though she carries a thousand scars 

On her journey between the stars 

Too late I fear is to understand now 

We must have been here before, long ago 

The faces change but the image remains 

All present and powerful, oh this does show 

And they can't see before their eyes 

How the thunder will split the skies 

Firebird, oh firebird 

Firebird, oh firebird 

And when the changes come 

See the eagle on my horizon 

Well, they're coming for everyone 

But it seems to be long arriving 

A mother scorned and a widow she stays 

And when you return again you will see 

The craven house of the greedy does rule 

Queen vanity everywhere bleeds treachery 

For the heroes of luck will decide 

On the chosen one who will survive 

Firebird, oh firebird 

Firebird, oh firebird 

Firebird, oh firebird 

Firebird, oh firebird 

Firebird, firebird 

Firebird, firebird
