In the depths of the night
I hear the past callin’ me
Don’t you remember
The way it used to be
Rock and Roll was playing
On the radio
Give the volume knob a twist
And baby just let it go
Listen to that guitar
Don’t it lift you off your feet?
Feel the pounding of the drum
Got you stomping to the beat
Sing all the words
Cause you know every line
Just forget the clock
You don’t care about the time
Chorus:
Fire to the Phoenix
Rock and Roll comes alive
Fire to the Phoenix
Makes you feel so right
Fire to the Phoenix
Rock and Roll is alive and well tonight
Some people don’t care
For the music of yesterday
Rock and Roll is dead and buried
For some, that’s what they say
I say it lives forever
Deep within your heart
Just knock on that door
And you’re a rocket to the stars
With hands clapping to the beat
Yeah everybody’s in the groove
Don’t hold back and just let it go
Let the music tell your body how to move
In no time at all
You’ll understand that Rock & Roll
A new religion you’ll feel
In the depths of your heart and soul
Chorus:
Fire to the Phoenix
Rock and Roll comes alive
Fire to the Phoenix
Makes you feel so right
Fire to the Phoenix
Rock and Roll is alive and well tonight

- Comment from author about the poem: When I write song lyrics, many times I’ll have a melody in my head that sort of helps carry me through the writing process of the song. For this song, that melody was a song by the Rossington Collins Band called, “Don’t Misunderstand Me”. It’s a very upbeat tempo kind of song and it’s exactly the rhythm and feel that I felt in writing “Fire to the Phoenix”. If you wish, you can go to Youtube and listen to “Don’t Misunderstand Me” by the Rossington Collins Band.
