Lyrics

The Phoenix

(:11)
You wanna put a grenade
In your microwave
Set it for one minute then run
You wanna blow apart
Your breaking heart
Fly in to the sun

(:23)
Try hard to endure
But you're pretty sure
That no one really cares
Don't ever let them
Take your peace of mind
Just because they can't find theirs...

(small break for 5 seconds)

(:40)
It's sticks and stones
That break your bones
But the wounds that never heal
Are the ones that come
From the ignorant tongue
Make you hurt till you can't feel

(:50)
(CHORUS)
Tonight
Set alight
Your tortured soul...

You have it all within
To make it back again
And I know...


(1:11)
You can rise above
You can rise above


(1:35)
(2nd)
Such crazy days
For one your age
Rarely make much sense
So, you pray again
For just one friend
To help you through this mess

Talked to your teacher
Talked to your preacher
All their hands are tied
But I'll tell ya, dear
In your deepest fears
Strength comes from the inside...

(2:01)
(CHORUS)
So Tonight
Set alight
Your tortured soul...

You have it all within
To make it back again
And I know...

(2:24)
You can rise above
You can rise above

(Lenghty guitar break)

Rise above...ay, yeah






(2:51)
(Ending) (Sang much slower)
Out there in that big world tonight
Amongst all the hoarding masses
They're setting a light
Yeah, a fire so bright
To rise above the ashes

You can rise above...
Rise above....
