Where eagles dare

We all face our own personal hell

But who has the courage to toll the bell

In what manner will we make our stand

To throw open the door to the blasted land

As lifeblood spills and vision fades

All along the ramparts they dig their graves

Even as their souls are torn apart

They arise with a full and beating heart

How do we measure who we are inside

By the times that we stumble

Or by the times we rise

Those who face the lion in it’s very lair

Soar upon the wind where eagles dare

The burden of salvation is theirs to bear

To soar upon the wind where eagles dare

Fighting and dying for all that they love

They came with the storm to reign hell from above

Into the bleeding dark their blades will pierce

Their animals inside run wild and fierce

In those times humanity must be laid aside

And unlock the cage where rage abides

The beast rushes forward with fury and haste

Until all that oppose them is laid to waste

How do we measure who we are inside

By the times that we stumble

Or by the times we rise

Those who face the lion in it’s very lair

Soar upon the wind where eagles dare

The burden of salvation is theirs to bear

To soar upon the wind where eagles dare

How do we measure who we are inside

By the times that we stumble

Or by the times we rise

To glide on the thermals under the sun

Pinions spread wide as the currents run

Kettle drums pound and trumpets blare

Up amongst the heavens where eagles dare
