Erin Hope - The Guilded Cage Lyrics

I crept into her tower, thought I'd steal my fill
The gold and jewels all shimmered bright, but the air was deathly still
I grabbed the prize, but too late, I felt her gaze on me
She smiled like a hunter, and whispered, "Now you'll never be free"
Her hands were light, her magic strong
Before I knew, I was all wrong
My body shrank, my wings unfurled
Now I'm trapped in her gilded world
In the gilded cage, I sing for her
A jeweled bird with feathers that blur
I thought I'd steal, but now I'm caught
A prize, a trophy she never forgot
I flutter and cry, but it's all in vain
In the gilded cage, I'll remain
The cage is golden, polished bright, but cold against my skin
I once was free, now I'm a bird, locked forever in
She feeds me crumbs of magic, just enough to survive
But I'm no more than decoration, a treasure in her hive
I see her tower day by day
My wings are clipped, I've lost my way
She holds the key, but I can't flee
Her enchanted cage is all I see
In the gilded cage, I sing for her
A jeweled bird with feathers that blur
I thought I'd steal, but now I'm caught
A prize, a trophy she never forgot
I flutter and cry, but it's all in vain
In the gilded cage, I'll remain
She strokes the bars with a soft caress
I feel her power, I can't protest
A bird in a cage, I've lost my name
Now I'm just part of her twisted game
In the gilded cage, I sing for her
A jeweled bird with feathers that blur
I thought I'd steal, but now I'm caught
A prize, a trophy she never forgot
I flutter and cry, but it's all in vain
In the gilded cage, I'll remain
Forever perched in a cage of gold
My story's done, my fate is sold
In the gilded cage, I've lost my fight
A treasure trapped in endless night
