lyrics

I gained my freedom, gained my strength
Other people would give up
And act as they were dead
I'm his agent, I'm to blame
After all I've done for them
They set me up in flame and chain
But now I am both space and time
When the key turns in the lock
You better stay in line

The cage is mine
The cage is mine

And so they took
Everything I've ever dreamed
They turned me deaf
And all I can hear are my screams

I'm going down
So I'll break the news
Till end of time
Innocence will be abused

Gone, null and void
Almost destroyed
I fought - I lost
I ran - got caught
Paid
Cried
Failed
Died
Pushed
Surged
Climbed
The world would not bend

And if you are like me
All you need
Are the claws to break free

But I
I'm just full of lies
And I won't deny
There's no eye for an eye

Imprisoned
While I begged and reasoned
Was an act on your stage
A bird in a cage

And there's no forgiveness
For what you have done
But now
You fear, you run

It's creeping
Crawling on me
All this shame and anxiety
I guess you're going down

I gained my freedom, gained your strength
Other people would give up and act as they were dead
Time to draw the raven's claw
Time for them to learn that justice's not the same as law
I'm your agent. I'm to blame
After all you've done for them - they set you up in flame and chain
But clawing life is a fine line
When I took control of yours
I lost control of mine

The Cage Is Mine
The Cage Is Mine

I see a bird fly
Across the sky
Ragged leathers
Battered feathers
So pure and weak
Defiled by me

But I
I can make this right
The bird I used to be has flown away
I need to summon all my will and stay
With only hours left
Can I forget

Capricia Jerusalem, Israel

Capricia is a symphonic-metal band turned into a gaming studio.

In 2015, the band decided they want their music to be heard in a different way from what we're used to, and created a new video-game genre, portraying their music as a music and story based game.

Of Bird and Cage is the first game-album of its kind. ... more
