Feather in Cap
Sometimes a feather in cap, is not what you think
Could be a symbol of a bird brain or possibly a head shrink
A matter of perception, it's more than meets the eyes
Could be worn as a crown on the chief of the bad guys
It's not always deserved, it's not always earned
It could be a warning, or a cause for concern
Could be a gift, or ill-gotten from deceit
Maybe worn by a poacher who steals, lies or cheats
Feather in cap, a curious tradition
A bad style choice, a cause for suspicion
A mark of ambition, a notch of attrition
A sign of aggression, surprise or submission
Most likely worn by someone who's just about to snap
Feather in cap, feather in cap
When it's worn proudly, on the head of a poseur
There might be unresolved issues, in need of closure
When it's not honest, it's not a feather in cap at all
But instead a dead symbol of a soul that's weak and small
When you first see a headdress, can't help but be impressed
He who bags the first game is a killer at best
All success and achievement in hunting or war
Comes with the price of bloodshed, horror and gore
Feather in cap, a curious tradition
A bad style choice, a cause for suspicion
A mark of ambition, a notch of attrition
A sign of aggression, surprise or submission
Most likely worn by someone who's just about to snap
Feather in cap, feather in cap
Spoken: pluck it, let it float
For every great warrior, for every scalp taken
It may mean they're someone their friends have forsaken
If you think it means good luck, be wary it's a trap
It's a sign of desperation, to wear a feather in cap
When they have to advertise every kill with a quill
They're begging for respect, but they'll never get fulfilled
Could be a sign from heaven, angry gods in the sky
A message from the spirit world, a word from the wise
Feather in cap, a curious tradition
A bad style choice, a cause for suspicion
A mark of ambition, a notch of attrition
A sign of aggression, surprise or submission
Most likely worn by someone who's just about to snap
Feather in cap, feather in cap
Could be a symbol of a bird brain or possibly a head shrink
A matter of perception, it's more than meets the eyes
Could be worn as a crown on the chief of the bad guys
It's not always deserved, it's not always earned
It could be a warning, or a cause for concern
Could be a gift, or ill-gotten from deceit
Maybe worn by a poacher who steals, lies or cheats
Feather in cap, a curious tradition
A bad style choice, a cause for suspicion
A mark of ambition, a notch of attrition
A sign of aggression, surprise or submission
Most likely worn by someone who's just about to snap
Feather in cap, feather in cap
When it's worn proudly, on the head of a poseur

A sign of aggression, surprise or submission
Most likely worn by someone who's just about to snap
Feather in cap, feather in cap
