\nTHE PHOENIX<\/b> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n \u00a9Trev Teasdel Middlesbrough 1986<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAfter the planes came<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWith bombs for our city.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAfter the night-raid\u2019s<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNightmare intensity.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the wake of the heartbreak-<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLife-quakes<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSorrow in the heart-shocked<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFear-shelled<\/span><\/div>\n
\ntomorrow.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nChorus<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou \u2013 must carry on \u2013 Rise from the ashes \u2013 Soar in the sky<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou \u2013 mustn\u2019t give in \u2013 have faith in your future \u2013 pride in your past<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou \u2013 must carry on \u2013 Rise from the ashes \u2013 Soar in the sky<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou \u2013 mustn\u2019t give in \u2013 Just like the phoenix \u2013 Never say die.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe Sirens sounded<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe scramble for shelter.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSurvival in crisis<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFear jammed the senses.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe drone of the bombers<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDescending like demons<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMenacing our skyways,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOur streets are exploding<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSudden cadence of brick-fall<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOperation \u2013 Moonlight Sonata.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBridge<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThis is for those who fell in the moonlight<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhile the bombers raged and the \u2026.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the silence<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOf heart-stopped<\/span><\/div>\n
\nemergence<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFrom shelters<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe seeking of loved ones<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn rubble hid carnage.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA spirit was rising<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHardened by hammers<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThat called forth the flames<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the shape of a future.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFrom the embers of darkness<\/span>
\n
