I Can Rip Your Wings

I can rip your wings
Tear them feather-by-feather
Drop them into rivers that'll
Carry them away.

I can give you wings
Oh scarlet, amber and white
Any colour you desire
I can inflict upon you.

I can rip your wings
Destroy patterns, colours
That I gave you
Now they're floating away.

I can give you wings
Each feather hand-sewn
Free of blemish, ripped seam
Made for perfect tyranny.

I can rip your wings
End your perfect rule
Your subjects don't forgive you
They don't forgive you for your crimes.

I can give you wings
Dip them in the paints
Splatter them with colours
It's my masterpiece

And I'll rip them apart.
