Track Insight / Lyrics
In the steaming kettle's sputter and hiss
The ghosts of shackles start to dismiss
The tuner's skilled hands that once did bind
Now yearning to break all that was left unkind
With each note she plucks, the metal sighs
As if the very air could crack the skies
The phoenix song that rises from the pain
Lays claim to freedom, to break, to reign
Chains unbound, the dawn ignites
Shackles shatter, hearts alight
Rise, phoenix, let the embers fly
From the ashes, passion catches the sky
Across the kitchen's worn, hard wood floor
The pianist's soul now beats evermore
Each strike of key, a thunderous roar
Declaring war on chains, forevermore
With each note she plucks, the metal sighs
As if the very air could crack the skies
The phoenix song that rises from the pain
Lays claim to freedom, to break, to reign
Chains unbound, the dawn ignites
Shackles shatter, hearts alight
Rise, phoenix, let the embers fly
From the ashes, passion catches the sky
The piano's fire now becomes a maelstrom
A raging tempest, wild, untamed, unfurled
The screams of chains, a cacophony
As the phoenix burns, and breaks, and breaks free
Riffs of liberation, lightning fast
Shredding through the chains that held the past
A sonic tidal wave, relentless and strong
The phoenix's power, could not be wrong
Chains unbound, the dawn ignites
Shackles shatter, hearts alight
Rise, phoenix, let the embers fly
From the ashes, passion catches the sky
Now the pianist steps out into the day
The chains lie broken, crumbled, cast away
A phoenix rises, reborn, anew
With every step, the chains refuse to stick.
