The Eagle Lyrics

Piercing eyes looked down below

Like many years before

Nothing new did they show

Above the land she soared

She flew high above the ground

The Big Beasts came in view

Majestic wings made no sound

The rumbling grew and grew

The changing story unfolds below

Her journey doesn't abate

She wouldn't want to know what future awaits

A new sound broke the eerie calm

The wagon wheels they came

There He was far as the eye could see

Things wouldn't be the same

Next on the scene

Came the rumble of the Iron Horse

Plains He crossed, mountains tumbled

And so she headed North

The changing story unfolds below,

Her journey doesn't abate

She wouldn't want to know what future awaits

For some time she was happy there

But things would soon change

The wetlands drained, trees disappeared,

All she knew was so strange

She moved her home from year to year

Little chance to settle down

More strangers appeared

All too near, no refuge to be found

The changing story unfolds below

Her journey doesn't abate

She wouldn't want to know what future awaits

One morning she took flight

The sky now black and thick

Nowhere could she find clean air

Any direction she picked

She turned back in panic

Through the choking air she climbed

Somehow she made it home

Eyes closing for the final time

Her eyes closed for the final time
