The Phoenix

​[Interlude- A solitary, glowing analog synth starts pulsing rapidly like a reviving heartbeat. No strings. Suddenly, massive, echoing tribal drums drop in alongside huge cinematic brass blasts. A soaring, bright synthwave arpeggio dances over the top. The energy is electric, building up like a rocket ready for launch. Then—a massive drum fill rolls across the kit!]

​[Verse- the track kicks into high gear with a driving, bouncy metalcore riff locked in with a fast, upbeat punk drum groove. The glowing synths light up the entire background. Crisp clean vocals.]

I thought the rain was gonna drown me out!

I thought the silence was a deafening shout!

But I woke up and the smoke was clear,

And I couldn't find a single trace of the fear!

I looked in the mirror, expected a ghost,

But the reflection is exactly what I needed the most!

My lungs are full, my vision is wide,

I survived the fucking landslide!

​[Pre-Chorus- The drums switch to a rapid, building snare roll. The heavy guitars ring out in bright, sustained chords. The cinematic brass swells massively.]

You swore I would shatter! You swore I would break!

But I'm stepping right out of the wake!

I am the spark that survived the flame!

I’m taking back the letters of my fucking name!

You thought you buried me deep in the cold,

But I’m turning all the ashes into solid gold!

The gravity is gone, I’m severing the tie!

Watch me light up the sky!

Watch me light up the sky!

​[Verse 2- The tempo shifts into a groovy, energetic djent bounce. It's heavy, but it makes you want to jump instead of mosh. The pulsing analog synth acts as the lead melody.]

No more walking on the broken glass!

I’m hitting the throttle, I’m stepping on the gas!

Every weight that you tied to my chest,

I ripped it all off, I’m passing the test!

I’m breathing the air and it tastes so sweet,

Got a brand new rhythm underneath my feet!

You were the anchor, but I cut the rope!

Welcome to the era of hope!

​[Pre-Chorus- The snare roll and cinematic brass return, building the hype to a boiling point.]

You swore I would shatter! You swore I would break!

But I'm stepping right out of the wake!

​[Chorus- The massive, euphoric wall of sound hits even harder.]

I am the spark that survived the flame!

I’m taking back the letters of my fucking name!

You thought you buried me deep in the cold,

But I’m turning all the ashes into solid gold!

The gravity is gone, I’m severing the tie!

Watch me light up the sky!

I am alive..

I AM ALIVE!

WATCH ME REBUILD!

NOTHING TO PROVE!

I AM ALIVE!

ALIVE!
