Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Ash in my lungs Fire in my teeth Stars look away As I rise from the reef [Verse 1] Boot prints On the glass-black sand Charcoal sky Clings to my hands Every breath tastes Like a funeral crown But I hear wings beating Under this ground Rust red horizon Cut with sound Distant engines Calling me out I was a whisper Buried in doubt Now I'm the question Spitting it out [Chorus] Phoenix on scorched ground I burn, then I bow, then I stand my ground From the cracked earth, hear that hollow sound I fall to the flames To rise unbound Phoenix on scorched ground [Verse 2] Smoke ghosts Dance in my chest (oh) Old names I never confessed Gravity claws Tries to pull me down But my veins hum loud Like a warbound hound Cold void above me Silent and wide I tear my shadow From its old side Every scar sings Low and proud I am the thunder Under this cloud [Chorus] Phoenix on scorched ground I burn, then I bow, then I stand my ground From the cracked earth, hear that hollow sound I fall to the flames To rise unbound Phoenix on scorched ground [Bridge] [Space-ambient break, distant choirs and rumbling bass swell] I was dust I was stone I was every Broken bone Yet some small spark Refused to drown A secret sun Under dead ground (Yeah) Set me alight If you dare I am the prayer Inside the despair Ash on my tongue But my soul is loud I wear my ruin Like a blackened crown [Chorus] Phoenix on scorched ground I burn, then I bow, then I stand my ground From the cracked earth, hear that hollow sound I fall to the flames To rise unbound Phoenix on scorched ground
