lyrics

Like the Phoenix, I shall rise (climb)

Verse 1
I was sold a lie, hoodwinked with a smile
Sold out, written off, and thrown in the pile
Thirty years of blood sweat and sacrifice
To water the gardens of your paradise
I faltered once and thrice I was spurned

I awoke to find you had all my bridges burned
To build and rebuild I leave no stone unturned
From dusk ‘til dawn From Cradle to Urn


Chorus 1
So I’ll bide my time and keep these demons tied
To the truth behind your lies
Scars are hardened, doubt subsides
And when you left I died
Fifty lifetimes in a night
Through the fallout, I survive 
Like the Phoenix, I shall rise (climb)

Verse 2
Black sky horizons when it rains it pours
But the fire still burns and I’ve weathered the storm
As you stand behind giants and sully my name
Remember slander and jealousy are one in the same
I walk tall among the whispers and stares
You still hate me and I still don’t care
So cast your aspersions while cast off the chains
Brace for impact, here comes the pain

Chorus 2
So I’ll bide my time and keep these demons tied
To the truth behind your lies
Heart is hardened, doubt subsides
And when you left I died
Fifty lifetimes in a night
Through the fallout I survive
Like the Phoenix, I shall rise

Bridge
You tried to hold me and kick me when I was down
But I'm back on the mic, can you hear me now?

We are the Botolph Dissidents
With the syncopated rhythm
and the old school riffs

Metal, rap, funk, thrash, mixed to taste
We’re raising the bar and dropping the bass

Bided our time now it’s time to flow
Better call the cops, because we're stealin' the show

We’re clearing gangways to the top of the bill
You said you won’t listen but I know you will
So put up or shut up or hit the bricks

For those who are with us, we’ve got your six

Chorus 3
So I’ll bide my time and keep these demons tied
To the truth behind the lies
And when you left I died
Fifty lifetimes in a night
Through the darkness, I survive
Like the Phoenix, I shall rise

I shall climb (rise)
