[Spoken Intro]
The year is 1991
Birds and people are living together in seemingly perfect harmony
Until one day a young man catches fire
This is "Phoenix"

[Verse 1]
You - you've been knocked down and got up again
In the corner, you're surrounded, no defenders
Woah, you - you've hid your fury and kept it in
But it's time now you ignite and turn to embers

[Chorus]
Like a phoenix you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and rise from the ashes
Phoenix - you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and risе from the ashes

[Drop]
They gеt you down, but you get up
They let you drown, but you don't stop
You show them you're a phoenix
Woah - you, don't let their ruthlessness prevail
Oh, it's time now, light your fire for ascension

[Spoken Transition]
Get ready for Verse 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Verse 2]
You - you've seen the truth behind the veil
And you know that they're just looking for attention
Woah - you, don't let their ruthlessness prevail
Oh, it's time now, light your fire for ascension

[Chorus]
Like a phoenix you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and rise from the ashes
Phoenix - you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and rise from the ashes

[Drop]
They get you down, but you get up
They let you drown, but you don't stop
You show them you're a phoenix

[Chorus]
Phoenix - you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and rise from the ashes
Phoenix - you burst into fire
Burn, a thirst and desire
You transform, light up in a flash
You spread your wings and rise from the ashes
