Song information
Title: Phoenix Rising
Artist: Annihilator
Album: Set The World On Fire
'A lot of time, feel and effort went into creating 'Phoenix.' Most of our songs
seem to all have the common trait of building as each verse progresses: 'Phoenix'
is no exception. Classical and jazz guitars were used but we felt the need for a
string section as well as some powerful background vocals. We recorded this one
at a few different studios, and ended up mixing it at Bryan Adams' home studio.
Based on the Greek myth, 'Phoenix Rising' takes you through the passing, then
rebirth of a loved one. Their memory lives on forever inside of us.'
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
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 the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away
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 makes me whole
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away
And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising
Wings on fire, tearing into the night
And we'll fly away
