The God Of Feathers
You have seen and heard of me before
In trees and skies, myths and legends
In scenes across time, in parables and lore
In music and film, in fossils and fables
I danced for mesmorised Zeus on a silver lake
Flew a branch in my beak over a settled flood
Pecked at Prometheus' side and kept him awake
Breathed coalmine gas covered in soot and mud
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
In Australia, I'm the queen of the bushes
In America, a bald king soaring through every cloud
In China, I live forever in the rushes
In England, my winter-proof red breast shines proud
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
A curse turned me back to a dancing swan
Hubris shot me with the mariner's crossbow
A hunt meant my dodo didn't last long
And the times hunched my Dumbo crow
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
My kestrel had its neck wrung
My hoarse raven announced a new king
But even then my caged bird still sung
And all with cower to hear my siren sing
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
In trees and skies, myths and legends
In scenes across time, in parables and lore
In music and film, in fossils and fables
I danced for mesmorised Zeus on a silver lake
Flew a branch in my beak over a settled flood
Pecked at Prometheus' side and kept him awake
Breathed coalmine gas covered in soot and mud
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
In Australia, I'm the queen of the bushes
In America, a bald king soaring through every cloud
In China, I live forever in the rushes
In England, my winter-proof red breast shines proud
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
A curse turned me back to a dancing swan
Hubris shot me with the mariner's crossbow
A hunt meant my dodo didn't last long
And the times hunched my Dumbo crow
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
My kestrel had its neck wrung
My hoarse raven announced a new king
But even then my caged bird still sung
And all with cower to hear my siren sing
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
After all of this
The God of Feathers will burst into flames
And phoenix ashes will float away
To rise again and fly another day
