Fly away,
Oh, fly away, high above.
Solo of a caged bird -
Sings in the dark, a voice unheard,
Song of the never-ending tide,
Song of the fragrant wind she rides
In dreams and fantasies.
Grows her wings while she's chained down
Like an angel with broken bones.
Flies away until daybreak.
Wakes to find she can never -
Fly away, my little tune.
Oh, escape the bonds and broken heart.
Reach out and take the hands of fate.
Look up and marvel the pearly gate.
Guess it was all a beautiful lie -
Chains lock the door to the sky
Until we dream and dream again.
Grows her wings while she's chained down
Like an angel with broken bones.
Flies away until daybreak.
Wakes to find she can never die.
Ooh-
I found her voice in the shadows.
Ooh-
I found her voice and set it free.
Grows her wings while she's chained down
Like an angel with broken bones.
Flies away until daybreak.
Wakes to find she can never
Fly away.
Fly away -

The Resurrection

Come close and tell me a story.
Do you remember how it goes?
It was perfect in the crucible
Before we started to burn.
Still water and an open world
Closed on a winter's day -
Do you remember what you said?
You resurrect memories
Of the way it used to be
As if you touched
The flames that burned it all.
Let go.
And it tears at my soul again
When I see where we used to play.
And we'd sing
For we were young and unhurt.
Do you remember how we laughed?
I resurrect memories
Of the way I used to be
As if I could
Pull back from fire that has
Gone out.
Summertime, and it doesn't get easy.
Don't you cry; you can't turn back time.
You resurrect memories
Of the way it used to be
As if I could
Burn it all away, at last
Let go.

Reign Supreme (Deluxe Edition)
by Dying Fetus
Not my genre, but how can you not love DF? This is the band that sold me on death metal. If you like intensity and danceability (and yes, I've been known to dance to it), this is your group.
go to album
I get very cool, Evanescence-esque vibes from this group. They are talented and it's a shame they're not more active. Their song "Caged" is great, too.
