1. A bird emerges from a
Delicate dark abyss

2. Known to all people yet they
Know not what's inside

3. It flies in the sky to a summit
Sealed by rocks

4. Burning the rocks, mourning
Its summit, what a den!

5. Taken alive then tossed upon
Our fiery embers

6. Until as ashes without
Substance dried by the sea

7. A fortress is built for it in our sea
Impregnable, like a palace

8. Where it stays a while like
A corpse remains in its grave

9. Its soul breathed in steadily
From month to month

10. Until its days are done
Its wings return at resurrection
