Caged Bird
The Shroud
Sunrise blooms orchid bright
Bought with fancies in the night
Life more precious than honor holds
Sold with legends, promises and fantasy
Change of seasons chain the heart
Woven spellweb light and dark
Shifting shadows across the sand
Falling scales of serpent laughter count the days
Jade and silver overhead
Orchids crushed upon your bed
Your thoughts may wander freely
And the caged bird sings so sweetly...
Cunning instincts worked by day
Cross the oath taken in rage
Talents twisted and mystic found
Dance in circles clouding vision with their wings
Hearbeat holds beads of time
Wide eyed waiting in the mind
Vision holding the future key
Crowning glory trickery and all for love
Jade and silver overhead
Orchids crushed upon your bed
Your thoughts may wander freely
And the caged bird sings so sweetly...
