“Phoenix Rise”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am [Em] I dreaming, or [D] is this my reality?
[G] Life’s been tough, it’s [A] become a calamity.
[Em] Shadows creeping, [D] whispering my name,
[G] I’m lost in the darkness, [A] playing a wicked game.

(Chorus)
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] from the ashes of despair,
[D] Light the skies, [Em] with your fire, show them you don’t care.
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] break these chains, claim your throne,
[D] Be the light, [Em] in this night, so you’re never alone.

(Verse 2)
[Em] I’ve been broken, [D] beaten down and torn,
[G] But from the embers, [A] a warrior is born.
[Em] Rising high, [D] above the charred remains,
[G] I’m the Phoenix, [A] breaking free from these chains.

(Chorus)
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] from the ashes, be reborn,
[D] Spread your wings, [Em] in this storm, let your spirit soar.
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] ignite the night with your flame,
[D] This is your fight, [Em] your right, stake your claim.

(Bridge)
[Am] This is my story, [G] inked in blood and fire,
[D] This is my glory, [Em] born from pain and ire.
[Am] This is my journey, [G] through smoke and haze,
[D] This is my fury, [Em] ablaze in the blaze.

(Chorus)
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] with your passion burning bright,
[D] Shine your light, [Em] in the fight, be the beacon in the night.
[C] Phoenix Rise, [G] let your spirit never yield,
[D] On this field, [Em] never kneel, be the shield.

Outro:
[Em] I am the Phoenix, [D] rising from the ashes,
[G] Reborn, restored, [A] through the flashes,
[Em] I am the fire, [D] a beacon in the night,
[G] I am the Phoenix, [A] ready for the fight.
