The Phoenix Lyrics - Judee Sill

The sun was red, and the fires were roarin' 

Stars aligned and the webs were spun 

I coulda sworn I heard my spirit soarin' 

Guess I'm always chasin' the sun 

Hopin' we will soon be one 

Until it turns around to me, then I try to run... 

On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated 

The fires froze and the sea was hushed 

And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded 

And the war will wage in my guts 

Till the Devil bites the dust, 

I never say him losin' a race, but I think he must... 

The great storm raged and the power kept growin' 

Dragons rose from the land below 

And even now I wonder where I'm goin' 

Ever since a long time ago 

I've tried to let my feelings show 

I'd like to think I'm bein' sincere, but I'll never know... 

(repeat 1st verse)
