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
We'll rise again, yah

'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, yah
That's right, the phoenix
We'll rise again
Ah

Sun shinin', 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, climbin' 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 a call of attack
And you'll know when you've seen us
The fuckin' D is back, yah

Love-makin' all the way to the top
Boots smokin', 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
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 their D tattoos
Tattoo
They'll have to laser off their 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
You can get a new Tenacious D tattoo
