Lyrics

Eyes Of An Eagle

I saw one thousand sea-sick sailors on the shore
and I asked them all what made them yearn for more
they just looked at me as they tallied up the score
and they told me I was losing
I walked on further and I came upon a man
he was a general who was leaving his command
He seemed lonely so I offered him my hand
and he said don?t you know it?s you I?ve been abusing?

I looked at him and I said General, don?t you know you are my friend
just because you are living?
He looked me up and down and he raised a furrowed brow and said
how can you be so forgiving?

I walked on further and I came upon a town
all of the people there they were curs-ed with a frown
I asked them was there something I should know about goin? around
and they said my friend, you?ve already caught it.
I walked on and came upon a desert in the night
and a stoic hunter with a rifle on his right
I gazed in wonder as an eagle took it?s flight
and stared in horror as he shot it

I walked off towards the horizon
and I thought that I would cry
Til I realized the only way to know that something is living
is to know that it will die

I fended off the hunter and I robbed him of his prize
I held that eagle and looked deep into its eyes
I stared forever until I finally realized
That I was trapped within them
Trapped within the eyes of an eagle
