mortal world

[Intro] Sunlight falling Platinum light Cannot tell Wing from hair Gaze upon us Shadowed eyes Cannot tell Flesh from cage [Verse] Ride the wind Heart knows not where Follow the heart Bearing the chain [Refrain] Why in the cage? The caged bird Why in the cage? The blessed one Why in the cage? The murmuring crowd [Verse] Wings spread wide Wings folded tight Cannot tell Wing-folk from dove Eyes cast down Scepter raised high Cannot tell Prisoner from guard [Bridge] White wings tremble Nowhere not to fly The crown laid down All is understood [Outro] Where is the cage? Within the cell Where is the cage? Upon the altar Where is the cage? In the world itself
