when the pick of destiny was released it was a bomb
and all the critics said that the D was done
the sun had set and the chapter had closed
D
but one thing no one thought about was the D would rise again
GAD
just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again
GAD
that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa
Verse 2 just like the Intro
Cause' the fiery heart of a champion cannot be quelched
By a failure or an embarrassment, no way, no
And the critics all agreed it was a stinky pile of cheese
D
But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong
GAD
just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again
GAD
that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa
