Song Description

Folk-rock song about remembering a lost love who led exiting, edgy life. Girl remembers him as the Phoenix bird, who recounted travels, dicey adventures, always came back from danger. The romantic love couldn't be kept--she throws away the key to "Pandora's Box" in the sea--but love doesn't die,it is reborn in memory, art, like the Phoenix. Phoenix dancing represented by fiery flute music.

Lyrics

You walked into my morning like the song of a Royal Bird returning
From the court of a king and queen in the ashes of a dream that was recurring

I remember where you came from
Like the Phoenix you came up from the Sun

You were the dark euphoria
Behind the picture of Dorian Grey
Rapturous phantasmagoria
I had to adore you
Pandora's box Pandora's box
Pandora's box couldn't lock you away

You sang about a land where the Sun's gold palace stands on sand that's burning
From the moment of our first kiss I was pulled into the twist of your deep eyes swirling

I was a lotus floating on the Nile
On the back of a crocodile

You were the dark euphoria
Behind the picture of Dorian Grey
Rapturous phantasmagoria
I had to adore you
Pandora's box Pandora's box couldn't lock you away

Somehow I had to run before falling, falling through
On the edge of the sunset our love was doomed

You were the dark euphoria....

Pandora's box, Pandora's box couldn't you lock you away
