Analysis of RISK OF LIFE



Cold flames burn in the night,

They could never be exhausted,

At the dying of the light,

Cold fire burns in your heart,

Could it ever be distinguished,

From the flicker in your eyes,

I rise now like the phoenix,

And leave a blazing trail,

Follow behind if you dare,

Risk the burn, risk the pain,

Cold i am feeling,

Cold as a winter storm,

My heart no longer beats,

To the rhythm of my own,

I rise now like the phoenix,

And leave a blazing trail,

Follow behind if you dare,

Risk the burn, risk the pain,

There is something where you risk again, 

Sometimes cold flames burn the ashes, 

But the Phoenix fly, blazing tail,

With the risk of life and to dare...
