[INTRO — BOTH]
You wanted silence.
You wanted control.
You wanted another obedient soul.
FUCK THAT!
[VERSE 1 — MALE]
I crawled through the wreckage I called my life,
Paid every damn debt with blood and spite.
You told me who to be, what to believe,
Then acted surprised when I refused to kneel.
[VERSE 1 — FEMALE]
You sell us fear, then you sell us the cure,
Build us a cage and call it secure.
Everybody talks, but nobody hears,
Everybody judges what they don't understand.
[PRE-CHORUS — BOTH]
You wanted obedience.
You wanted submission.
YOU GOT RESISTANCE!
[CHORUS — BOTH]
PHOENIX!
I rise from the ruins you left behind!
PHOENIX!
No mercy, no weakness, no peace of mind!
You burned everything — now look what you made!
I’m not coming back to be fucking saved!
PHOENIX!
I’m back — and I’m taking it all!
[VERSE 2 — MALE]
I don't give a damn about your perfect world,
Your plastic smiles and your empty words.
Your endless judgement, your hollow applause,
Your damn rules can die with their cause.
[VERSE 2 — FEMALE]
I gave you my trust and you handed me shame,
So don't fucking ask why I won't play your game.
I buried the person you wanted to see,
Now there's nobody left you can force me to be.
[CHORUS — BOTH]
PHOENIX!
I rise from the ruins you left behind!
PHOENIX!
No mercy, no weakness, no peace of mind!
You burned everything — now look what you made!
I’m not coming back to be fucking saved!
PHOENIX!
I’m back — and I’m taking it all!
[GUITAR SOLO I]
Fast, dirty, aggressive — screaming bends and a melodic finish.
[BREAKDOWN — BOTH]
ENOUGH!
Your rules!
Your lies!
TEAR IT DOWN!
I OWE YOU NOTHING!
NOTHING!
NOTHING!
[MALE]
You want me quiet?
[FEMALE]
MAKE ME!
[BOTH]
YOU CAN'T!
[GUITAR SOLO — SHORT, AGGRESSIVE]
[FINAL CHORUS — BOTH + CHOIR]
PHOENIX!
I rise from the ruins you left behind!
PHOENIX!
You couldn't erase what was buried inside!
You burned everything — now look what you made!
I’m not coming back to be fucking saved!
PHOENIX!
I'M STILL HERE, YOU BASTARDS!
[FINAL BREAKDOWN — BOTH + CHOIR]
PHOENIX!
RISE!
I'M STILL HERE, YOU BASTARDS!
YOU CAN'T BREAK US!
YOU CAN'T FUCKING BURY US!
PHOENIX!
RISE!
WE OWE YOU NOTHING!
NOTHING!
NOTHING!
[FINAL HIT]
PHOENIX!
