A tribute to a marvellous creature.

When I burn

I will return

You tought me to start anew

And not to go for a brew

Give me power to arise

From my ashes as a surprize

To those who have burned me

And have set my spirit free

You take hate

It is your fate

Ashes to ashes

But mankind bashes

You are the witch at the stake

To come back and forsake

The cycle keeps going

They cannot see what your are showing

You take the pain

Of the power insane

Everlasting fire

Eternal desire

Misunderstanding burns

When the heart turns
