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 would rise again

Just like the phoenix, we'll fuckin' rise again
That's right the phoenix will rise again, yeah

'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 cheese
But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong

Just like the phoenix, we'll fuckin' rise again, ya
That's right the phoenix, we'll rise again, yeah

Sunshine, it's a hell of a day
Ridin' back, and it's headed your way
D's here now we're puttin' on a show
We're sneakin' up, climbing into your window

Hard rockin', yeah we're rockin' again
Black Mamba is my personal friend
Phil Jackson is the master of zen
We'll pick you up, take you out for the weekend

It's the rise of the phoenix
It's the call of attack
And you'll know when you've seen us
The fuckin' D is back

Love-makin' all the way to the top
Boots smokin' but I'm not gonna stop
Bossa Nova is a beautiful dance
Hot-blooded there's a lots of romance

It's the rise of the phoenix
And we ride with the pack
It's the magic between us
The fuckin' D is back

But what if it's true?
If Tenacious D has died, what will we do?
And what will we do
'Bout all the fans who have the D tattoo?
They'll have them removed
They'll have to laser off the D tattoos
Tattoo, ooh-ooh, oohh
They'll have to laser off the D tattoo, ah

Wait a minute, Kage
(What's that you say?)
You know it's not too late
(Yes it is too late)
We only need one hit
(Just imagine it)
We could be the shit
Too legit to quit
One hit, one hit, one hit
Yeah, we're hoping this is it
One hit
Top ten hit
Top forty hit
Top thousand hit
I don't care, as long as we get there
We'll start anew
And you can get a new Tenacious D tattoo ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, oohh, licky doo

You can get a new Tenacious D tattoo, ooh-yoo
