The Phoenix Songtext
von Turvey

Sometimes I wonder
How did it end up like this?
It nearly pulled me under
Ignorance is bliss

Well now I′ve learned how it should be
And like a turn in the wrong direction
You made a mistake but you just don't see
There′s more to life than the life of deception

I'm by myself but not alone
I'll strike out on my own
All by myself just like before
But I ain′t the same no more

The sky is black but the stars are there
They help me forget the scars I bare
Second round, have no doubt
Knock me down but you can′t count me out


And now I wonder
What I'm looking for
I put my trust in you
But that was before

Do you recall those times gone by?
It′s true all along I never knew
It's clear now, my faith was in a lie
And after all we′ve been through
The poison was you

I'm by myself but not alone
I′ll strike out on my own
No compromise anymore for me
Tonight I'm gonna be free

And when you're down and out
And can′t take anymore
Like a phoenix you rise once more
Second round, ain′t no doubt
Knock me down but you can't count me out

I′m by myself but not alone
I'll strike out on my own
All by myself, just like before
But I ain′t the same no more


The sky is black, but the stars are there
They help me forget the scars I bare
Second round, have no doubt
Knock me down but you can't count me out

I′m by myself, let me tell you the score
I'll take you down like never before
They say time will pass and these scars will heal
But it's still calling me, I can hear

And in the fire of lies I could feel the burn
You turned your back on me, I guess you live and you learn
You gotta keep on going if it′s hell you′re going through
Like a phoenix rising I'm born anew
