"Feathers, Blood, And Bone" lyrics

I came upon an angel wing
Hanging in the trees
I laid it down before my feet
And fell down on my knees
The feathers were a thousandfold
The tear was long and clean
I stared at it a hundred days
And still don't know what it means

Come down from your hidden throne
Come down and be known
I have seen you rise
Behind these eyes
In feathers, blood, and bone
Feathers, blood, and bone

I came upon a fallen star
Glowing in the dirt
I carried it to Gemstone Lane
To see what it was worth
The stone it started crumbing
Beneath the magnifier
He said, "If not for courtesy"
I'd call you out a liar

Come down from your hidden throne
Come down and be known
I have seen you rise
Behind these eyes
In feathers, blood, and bone
Feathers, blood, and bone
Rise

I came upon a melody
That could turn the dark to light
I did not dare to sing it then
For fear, I'd not sing it right
It bothers me, it calls to me
It's right there on my tongue
But sad to say
As of today
It's never yet been sung

Come down from your hidden throne
Come down and be known
I have seen you rise
Behind these eyes
In feathers, blood, and bone
Come down from your hidden throne
Come down and be shown
I have seen you rise
To set things right
In feathers, blood, and bone

Feathers, blood, and bone
Feathers, blood, and bone
