Singing, her melodious cry
And beauty brightens up the sky.
Healing others with her tears
Enduring, waiting as the night draws near.

With brilliant eyes of sapphire blue,
Resilient, robed in scarlet hues,
A thousand years she guards the sky,
While building the altar on which she’ll die.

Then out of the ashes,
Deep in the darkness of the night,
Majestic she rises
As upward she soars above the heights.
Higher and higher,
Radiant and shimmering with light,
She comes from the fire,
And burns in the night.

Gazing, reaching toward the sun,
Her aching redemption has begun.
With fever blazing through her veins,
She’s breaking as her life’s consumed in flames.

Then out of the ashes,
Deep in the darkness of the night,
Majestic she rises
As upward she soars above the heights.
Higher and higher,
Radiant and shimmering with light,
She comes from the fire,
And burns in the night.

Oh, as she melts into the coal,
The glow from the heat within her soul
Makes her whole.

Then out of the ashes,
Deep in the darkness of the night,
Majestic she rises
As upward she soars above the heights.
Higher and higher,
Radiant and shimmering with light,
She comes from the fire,
And burns in the night.

She burns in the night.
