PHOENIX RISING

I feel it burn inside of me
Something coming alive in me
I feel it starting to rise in me
PHOENIX

In blackened ashes spread your wings
Flames of yellow in the winds
Upon the skies of Wellington
PHOENIX

That Fever Pitch it call me home
A sweet waiata from her gates
I follow where the winds are blowing
I ride the waves across the Strait

I’ll do the mahi required of me
To feed the ahi inside of me
To stand and sing with pride to be
PHOENIX

I feel it burn inside of me
Something coming alive in me
I feel it starting to rise in me
PHOENIX

That Fever Pitch it call me home
A sweet waiata from her gates
I follow where the winds are blowing
I ride the waves across the Strait

P.H.O.E. N-I-X
P.H.O.E. N-I-X
Come on PHOENIX!
[Repeat]

That Fever Pitch it call me home
A sweet waiata from her gates
I follow where winds are blowing
I ride the waves across the Strait

P.H.O.E. N-I-X
P.H.O.E. N-I-X
Come on PHOENIX!
[Repeat]

That Fever Pitch it call me home
A sweet waiata from her gates
I follow where winds are blowing
I ride the waves across the Strait

from the lyrics it sounds like he ate a dodgy daniel burger

Do they need so many verses? How about just a Chorus?

Do they need so many verses? How about just a Chorus?

Presumably the chorus is what will play when they run out, but when we win thew league we can sing the whole song in unity.

The P.H.O.E. N-I-X, P.H.O.E. N-I-X Come on PHOENIX! part is possibly the only part worth chanting/singing at a game.

Why is the grammar so bad in the line about the pitch calling him home? 

Edit: that part in bold is proper catchy though, had it stuck in my head all arvo

Ok, I've really listened to it. Catchy tune, well produced by the band, but I cant see too many singing it at any game. 2 verses & 2 choruses would do most fans. A crowd singing it will not sound as good as this band doing it. Perhaps, they should do a half time show which would be quite entertaining.

Kudo's to the guys for creating it. Heaps better than most of the stuff on the radio these days. So well done.

Had a listen and it's quite a nice song. I agree there are a few too many verses for it to work as a chant how it currently is. I reckon if it was chanted with this structure it would work quite well.

[Repeat from the top]

Not too many words to learn. Catchy, and at the very least everyone will catch onto the chorus pretty quickly. Might take longer for people to get the intro verse, but I'd love to see us give it a go!

Just hope this isn't the end for Carnaval De Paris though

That would work!

One minor thing the bugs me is why did they go with come on Phoenix when they should have gone with come on you Nix.  Same Syllables and it's the actual catchphrase

Hopefully we have heard the last of this dire dirge.
