Avatar - Feed - In His Own Words lyrics

Indeed he had landed, on top of a tree
A giant, proud Eagle with eyes that could see
To the horizon, the beyond and then some
Like a prophet with visions of
What was to come

"I came back to my kingdom
My reign has begun
I chase out the darkness and
I bring back the sun
Here is my realm now, my land of the day
Stand down little being be gone! Go away!"

Owl uttered no word
She was thoroughly stunned
As never before had she
Been quite this shunned
But then she snapped back and
Said "Was that a thrеat?!
Of all the vile things you've sung
This you'll rеgret!"

"I am the Owl and my crown is the moon!
I'm the huntress
The watcher! I'll show you real soon
How well versed in carving I am with my claw
And as life leaves your limbs
You'll watch me in awe!"

"You're nothing", she went on
"but a speck in my sky!
This is my answer! And this
Is how you will die!
Nothing can hurt me, I do not know fear!
I'll strike down with full fury
And pierce like a spear!"

Thus spoke the Owl and her
Words all rang true
With force and conviction she knew what to do
With aim at her victim her target was set
But Eagle took off, and flew higher yet

"Nothing", asked Eagle, "can hurt you at all?
You lie to yourself and
That's why you'll fall!
I have my eyes and help with four legs
And I've heard of your children yes
I know of your eggs!"

"I've seen how you nurture
Your claw-full of seed
I will thoroughly enjoy them
Now it's my time to feed!"
Eagle's eyes shined with a terrifying lust
And in the blink of an eye
Owl's rage turned to dust

Owl stopped flying mid air as Eagle went on
"I know what you fear
And thus comes the dawn
You can't stop the sunrise
Just look to the east!
As you can't stop me from having my feast!"

The queen was dethroned and
All came to change
She flew upon winds feeling
Weakened and strange
For the first time she doubted and
For the first time she strayed
For the first time this night Owl was afraid

Flying faster than ever like a
Spear thrown into space
She feared what sinister things would
This night make her face?
She flew to the place where
Her tiny ones slumbered
Her nest lied there peaceful as
Her whole being crumbled

She grabbed them as gently as
Her claws let her do
And she whispered so softly
"I will protect you"
Then she took off with her
Wings spread out wide
As she sang out her promise
To each unborn child

The winds sang along as
They carried her higher
So far from the light where night was entire
Together they drifted, turned, and arose
And never before had her moon been so close
