The Eagle

歌詞

He clasps the crag with crooked hands Deformed from gripping the rock so tight Close to the sun in lonely lands But the wax never melts from his wings Ringed with the azure world he stands Emperor of the sky Lord of the ocean The very image of a king His outstretched feathers overwhelming the sky And his innate pride to lead Suggest power Not modesty But he never kills without consuming And though he is always watchful of his surroundings As he skims the surface I suspect he doesn't realize the panic His shadow induces In the hearts of the creatures underneath The overflowing surge of relief They feel as he revisits His distinguished position on the cliff An immense wall of stone Taking the place of a diamond covered throne A shining ocean instead of a glittering palace To signify his status The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls Tiptoeing past the sentient Piercing eyes He watches from his mountain walls His mind once again boundless in flight And like a thunderbolt he falls Racing heart Never a doubt Or glance behind His outstretched feathers overwhelming the sky And his innate pride to lead Suggest power Not modesty But he never kills without consuming And though he is always watchful of his surroundings As he skims the surface I suspect he doesn't realize the panic His shadow induces In the hearts of the creatures underneath The overflowing surge of relief They feel as he revisits His distinguished position on the cliff An immense wall of stone Taking the place of a diamond covered throne A shining ocean instead of a glittering palace To signify his status Guided by instinct His conscience remains unburdened Never having to reflect within He focuses relentlessly on the outside world He manifests the answer to the oldest mystery The meaning of life Nothing more than just To live
