i am a snake 
slithering on my belly 
i am the great, great one
living in her humility
i undulate
i shed my skin around midnight
twist my way upon the earth
 
and i am a firebird 
rising high in the sky
i am a firebird
turning day into night 
with wings of gold
my abilities are unheard of
and untold
 
i am a scorpion 
my sting is strong and penetratin’
i’ve been scorned upon
but i live long
everyone feels me
when they see me comin’ on
i am an ancient scorpion
 
i am a firebird 
singing high and swingin’ low
i am a firebird
watch me burn and see me glow
i see all things
 
 
deep inside and on high
i am a firebird
in the cosmic sky
 
watch me rise 
like in a phoenix in the night 
watch my ashes glow
from a past you did not know 
watch me sing
see my voice and hear it ringing 
i am a phoenix rising 
 
i am a firebird
watch me rise and sing it low
i am a firebird
watch me burn and see me glow
hear me sing
with these golden wings
i am a firebird rising
 
i am a firebird 
singin’ high and swingin’ low 
i am a firebird 
watch me burn 
and see me glow 
well i twist and turn
into the depths
of the great, great burn
i am a firebird
