The Phoenix

(Geoff Byrd)
From the album: "X-RAY VISION"
Never in my life have I been faced with decisions like this
A crossroads steady hands to make the incisions and I can tell you
I will never be broken go back to hell you the devil's already spoken

Go back to the place where you came from amid the darkness

Oh I will not lay down and die
I will rise said the Phoenix to the Prince with stars in his eyes
Ashes to ashes and dust turns into dust the Phoenix flies into the sun as he starts to combust

You and I are systematic cut through the static erratic
Always into drama but with you it's emphatic and I can justify
A new revolution but you're a default, automatic source of confusion

I want a deeper understanding of this life I've been commanding

Oh I will not lay down and die
I will rise said the Phoenix to the Prince with stars in his eyes
Ashes to ashes and dust turns into dust the Phoenix flies into the sun as he starts to combust

I aint gonna run
I aint gonna hide
I guess I gotta toss the demons aside
Nothin gonna stand in my way
Nothin gonna stop the Phoenix today

I'm gonna fly baby
I feel the fire begin to

Oh I will not lay down and die
I will rise said the Phoenix to the Prince with stars in his eyes
Ashes to ashes and dust turns into dust the Phoenix flies into the sun as he starts to combust
