The secret torn from a temple of stone
  Still living in memory, grey and so cold
  Beneath the veil of the mystery lies
  Dark promises telling all, none can withhold
  Though she carries a thousand scars
  On her journey between the stars
  
  Too late, I fear, is to understand now
  We must have been here before, long, long ago
  The faces change but the image remains
  All present and powerful, oh, oh, this does show
  And they can't see before their eyes
  How the thunder will split the skies
  
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  
  And when the changes come
  See the eagle on my horizon
  They're coming for everyone
  But it seems to be long arriving
  
  (Keyboard Solo)
  
  A mother scorned but a widow she stays
  And when you return again, you, you will see
  The craven house of the greedy does rule
  Queen vanity everywhere bleeds treachery
  For the heroes of luck will decide
  On the chosen one who will survive
  
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  Firebird - oh, Firebird
  
  (Firebird)
  (Firebird)
  (Firebird) oh!
  (Firebird) ooh!
