Meant to speak about projections and reflections.

A thousand more sunrises I have seen
Each to die
A death over waters with no land

Reborn following twilight and darkness
So am I
Like the ancient bird of fire

Rising to live again
From ash on the pyre
Upon my life, my world, was burnt

Crimes listed, blame issued
You tossed the torch
Lighting the fat of lies

But here we are again
You and I
With no others to shame

Renewed I live again
Innocent in this birth
But we both know

The seed of my offences
Those you strike out at
Lie in my heart and being

I do not apologize
I am this
This is eternal

And it reflects you too
