Lyrics
Ancient desert, deep in the dunes.
Consumed in flames, on a darkened rune.
Risin’ from ashes, my cycle of life,
A Phoenix risin in a twilight night.
Flames in my chest, but fear in my brain,
A conflict within, a life mundane.
Never flew too high, repeating day.
Empty life, but I fear to stray.
Day after day, glidin low in the sky,
Yearnin for more, but afraid to try.
A legend of peaks, a mountain so tall,
Mustahil, highest of em all.
Phoenix Risin’, falling first.
Reborn stronger from an ashen hurst.
Phoenix Risin’, reachin high.
Destined innate to conquer the sky.
The impossible peak, so the legends say.
No living soul can break its haze.
Voice deep inside, yelling I’m more.
Dream beyond this norm, I can’t ignore.
Doubt ached in my mind, What if I fall?
What if I crash and I lose it all?
Always risen before, will that stay true?
Can’t fly high if fear controls you.
The fire inside, began a spark,
Wanna be more, only choice is embark.
Gonna be my best, no acidic regret.
To delusional heights, my resolve is set.
Phoenix Risin’, falling first.
Reborn stronger from an ashen hurst.
Phoenix Risin’, reachin high.
Destined innate to conquer the sky.
Wings ablaze, risin to heights unseen.
Already more than I thought I could be.
I look beyond, to the distant fray.
Mustahil’s peak, my target to slay.
I reach its base, see it pierce the sky.
Can’t see the top, clouds swirl and cry.
I start toward, pushin fear aside.
My aim locked high, I’m ready to ride.
Wings poundin, glorious lights,
Ripped from the sky, but at new heights.
Burst into flames, fallin ashes, failure anew.
My flames grow brighter and knowledge accrues.
Phoenix Risin’, falling first.
Reborn stronger from an ashen hurst.
Phoenix Risin’, reachin high.
Destined innate to conquer the sky.
Again and again, new heights, out in a blaze.
Ice and winds howling, a determined craze.
Forever later, glimpse a golden light.
Final deep push, the summit’s in sight.
Feet touch to the top, calm above the clouds.
Golden surroundings, I’m feelin proud.
Lookin back down, see what I overcame.
Every fall a step through a hurricane.
Thought pierces my soul, if I’d settled for less.
What else would I miss, if I believed the stress.
Hardship is certain, no way around,
But I choose my path, high above ground.
Phoenix Risin’, falling first.
Reborn stronger from an ashen hurst.
Phoenix Risin’, reachin high.
Destined innate to conquer the sky.
Storms and calm, ease and pain.
Life ever changes, we rise up again.
Stronger or weaker, we choose the road.
Decide to aim high or get crushed by the cold.
Life ain’t all sunshine, we choose and we grow.
The choice is all yours, fly high or cry low.
Can’t change the stakes, but can hedge up your bets.
Years of persistence or full life regrets.
Ancient desert, deep in the dunes.
Consumed in flames, on a darkened rune.
Risin’ from ashes, my cycle of life,
A Phoenix risin in a twilight night.
Flames in my chest, but fear in my brain,
A conflict within, a life mundane.
Never flew too high, repeating day.
Empty life, but I fear to stray.
Day after day, glidin low in the sky,
Yearnin for more, but afraid to try.
A legend of peaks, a mountain so tall,
Mustahil, highest of em all.
Phoenix Risin’, falling first.
Reborn stronger from an ashen hurst.
Phoenix Risin’, reachin high.
Destined innate to conquer the sky.
The impossible peak, so the legends say.
