Lyrics
Phoenix
By Ricky Dean Fisher © 1998
In the ruins of my life
I saw a Phoenix rise
Out of the blackened earth
A hundred miles high
Up into virgin wind where Angels dare to fly
I thought it out this time
I found it out this time
Would true love never die?
The actor takes the stage
Becomes another soul
Performing every line
The play of men and fools
The Second Act begins
The balcony is where he cries
The play is so sublime
The memory too fine
When true love never dies
When true love never lies.
All my indecision
Every single day
Your love washes it away
When will I walk along your solitary road
In search of miracles
I can touch and hold
I eat the body
Drink the blood
Still it tastes like wine
Better luck next time
With a better guide
Would true love ever lie
Would true love ever die
Ever die
Ever lie
