When "The Pick of Destiny" was released, it was a bomb And all the critics said that The D was done The sun had set and the chapter had closed But one thing no one thought about was The D will rise again Just like the phoenix (we'll rise!) We'll rise again! Cause' the fiery heart of a champion cannot be quelched By a failure or an embarrassment, no way, no And the critics all agreed it was a stinky pile of chee But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong Just like the phoenix (we'll rise!) We'll rise again! Just like the phoenix We'll rise again! Sun shining, it's a Hell of a day Riding back and it's headed your way D's here, now we're putting on a show We're sneaking up, climbing into your window It's the rise of the phoenix It's the call of attack And you'll know when you've seen us Tenacious D is back, ya'll! Lovemaking all the way to the top Boots smoking, but I'm not gonna stop Bossa Nova is a beautiful dance Hot-blooded, that's a lots of romance It's the rise of the phoenix And we ride with the pack It's the magic between us Tenacious D is back But what if it's true? If Tenacious D has died, what will we do? And what will we do About all the fans who have The D tattoo? They'll have them removed They'll have to laser off their D tattoos Tattoos They'll have to laser off their D tattoos Wait a minute Kage What's that you say?
