lyrics
I was standing there
and I was looking up at Bird Of Fire
To my surprise she met my eyes
And wordlessly suggested I confide…
I found my voice. I paid her price.
Please give to me your fair advice
No words I heard but thought began
To dance around inside my head. They said…
“Careful what you set your heart upon,
surely it will be.”
Rue the fallen angel
Who recalls past ecstasy.
Dark consecration of your soul,
heart and mind.
The bird may be caged
but my thoughts are high, of the sky.
The look she gave was soft but brave
and tenderly betrayed to me,
“You can trust that soon you must
your dust to ash, concede to lust. You must.”
Careful what you set your heart upon,
surely it will be.
Rue the fallen angel
Who recalls past ecstasy.
Dark consecration of your soul,
heart and mind.
The bird may be caged
but her thoughts are high, of the sky.
Bird Of Fire, light the sky
Blind and dying dog, clear your eyes!
