ANNIHILATOR LYRICS
"Phoenix Rising" (1993 Single)
1. Phoenix Rising
2. The Edge
3. Phoenix Rising (live acoustic)
1. Phoenix Rising
Day by day, watching you disappear
Wishing that you were still here beside me
On my own, swimming against the tide
There's nobody on my side but your memory
Chorus 1:
Then you'll rise right before my eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising
Wings on fire, tearing into the night
Screaming into the light of another day
Carry me out of the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away
Chorus 2:
And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising
Higher, higher, hear the thunder roar from above
Fire, fire, fire make me whole
Repeat Chorus 2
Wings on fire, tearing into the night
And we'll fly away
2. The Edge
The edge, I'm walking a fine line
Too young to be waiting at stop signs
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
Chorus 1:
'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school
They teach it on the street, it's the only rule
It's the edge
The edge, I'm dying in the classroom
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Keep your plans for my security
Because there's only one thing taking care of me
Chorus 2:
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It's the way I run, it's a way of life
The edge
You can't hold me down forever
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
If you can't take it, you can't make it
Out here on the edge, for very long
Repeat first verse, Chorus 1, Chorus 2
3. Phoenix Rising (live acoustic)
Day by day, watching you disappear
Wishing that you were still here beside me
On my own, swimming against the tide
There's nobody on my side but your memory
Chorus 1:
Then you'll rise right before my eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising
Wings on fire, tearing into the night
Screaming into the light of another day
Carry me out of the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away
Chorus 2:
And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising
Higher, higher, hear the thunder roar from above
Fire, fire, fire make me whole
Repeat Chorus 2
Wings on fire, tearing into the night
And we'll fly away
