"dirty Wings"

I fell away into night He tore at my limbs and my life He left me laying in a corner Dying with my shame and horror My wings were bent and oh so dirty They only came when they grew hungry As you leave me here to die, you promised me its the last time I begged and cried and tried to follow I lost you as you turned a corner He flicks the bag all full of wonder I turned to him all ripe with thunder My wings were heavier then ever I ripped them off and threw them down As they fell they made no sound My choice was made this was clear I prayed the end would soon be near Now only God could tread hear He pulled me out of terror He picked the wings up off the ground My Lord put them back on without a sound...
