The Phoenix Songtext
The sun was red, and the fires were roarin'

Stars aligned and the webs were spun

I coulda sworn I heard my spirit soarin'

Guess I'm always chasin' the sun

Hopin' we will soon be one
Until it turns around to me, then I try to run...



On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated

The fires froze and the sea was hushed

And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded

And the war will wage in my guts

Till the Devil bites the dust,

I never say him losin' a race, but I think he must...



The great storm raged and the power kept growin'
Dragons rose from the land below

And even now I wonder where I'm goin'

Ever since a long time ago

I've tried to let my feelings show

I'd like to think I'm bein' sincere, but I'll never

know...
