Second Death - Second Resurrection?

I just had a very startling thought - and I’m just going to post on what I was thinking:

I have been contemplating annihilationism and universalism recently - and I while I was reading a related article I was thinking, what if the second resurrection is subsequent to the second death - and what might that mean?

So then, when Revelation 20:6 basically indicates that the one sharing in the first resurrection will not be overpowered by the second death, does this indirectly clarify that the ones who experience the second death are the same ones who (after the second death) undergo the second resurrection??

If so, that would seem to indicate that the people who experience the second death / lake of fire are resurrected at the second resurrection.

I may need more time to fully explain what I’m thinking, but I feel like I just received clarity, or I’m just mistaken - i’m not sure which one.

Well, actually after thinking about it more and after I looked at other Scriptures, my thoughts in my original post were in error because now I see that the first and second resurrections are separated by the thousand year reign and the Scriptures teach that some people undergo the second death after the second resurrection - not before. So i’m sorry and I repent if this has caused anybody to stumble!
