AS THE WIND SWEEPS ACROSS THE PLAINS

I AM STANDING THERE CALLING THE ANGELS

AS THE SUN MOVES CLOSER TO CLAIM

THE BARREN LAND THAT WE HAVE FAILED

MY HEART IS FILLED WITH PAIN

AS THE WILD CRY FOR RAIN

CHORUS

THE EAGLE CRIES AS IT FLAPS ITS WINGS

IT CASTS ITS SHADOW AS IT FLAPS THROUGH HOT WINDS

IT LOOKS UP TO THE KINGS TO END THE MISERY I SEE

ITS EYES FILLED WITH HATRED

AS IT SINGS TO THE UNCARING WORLD

NO MATTER HOW HARD THE EAGLE TRIES

THE WORLD IS JUST CORRUPTION AND LIES

NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE EAGLE FLIES

DOWN BELOW WILL ALWAYS BE DRY

IN THE END IT’S WHERE IT’S GONNA LIE

AND THE SAND WILL FILL ITS EYES

CHORUS

IN A WAY IT’S FOR US TO SEE

NO ONE WILL EVER BE FREE

THAT’S THE WAY, THAT THE WAY IT’S GONNA BE

AS THE EAGLE FLIES AWAY

NO ONE HAS A SAY

EVERYONE IS LEFT AT BAY

IT’S ALL THE RULES THAT WE LAY

IT’S UP TO YOU TO SEE TO IT THAT IT ENDS THE RIGHT WAY
