Name: Phoenix
Duration: P00H03M25S
Description: Originally intended for Crushing Ground's "Rite of Passage", the track was left off and replaced with some newer material. The mood of this song was perfect to include on an all acoustic disc, helping to add yet another flavor and texture to the collection. The distant percussion was added to emulate a very primal instinct to survive. I was thinking "Conan the Barbarian" soundtrack all the way.

lyrics

PHOENIX

Phoenix
Phoenix

Broken
For a moment
Into pieces

Shattered
For a fraction
Of a second

But I know what I'm after
I can see the big picture
And I'll wait for my phoenix
From the ashes

Phoenix

Fragile
And I'm rattled
Been bruised and battered

Weathered
And I'm severed
But I need to remember

That I know what I'm after
I can see the big picture
And I'll wait for my phoenix

My phoenix from the ashes
Will turn the tears to laughter
I'll rise above the dust
And fly into the sun…

On my phoenix
My phoenix
Phoenix
