Blaze Bayley - Eagle Spirit lyrics
[Blaze Bayley - Eagle Spirit lyrics]
Here is a prophecy
Two stars will fall from the western sky
On a winter's night
The first our dead brother
Though he looks not like us
Be sure he is our brother
Come from the eagle spirit
We must pray our prayers of light for him
If our prayers of light be strong enough
If our belief be strong enough
He will rise, and he will know he is home
The second star is a golden ship
Strange gods of gold will hunt us
They are come to eat us all
Every one of us devoured until there is
No memory or trace of us
Come to enslave our great mother
Come to violate her this all shall come
There are things that I’ll never see
That will stay a memory
That's where they'll always be so far
Far away from me
Things that I’ll never know
Now that I am here
Dreams I will always hold as dear
As the life that I lost
Shoulder to shoulder they are ready to fight
Fight for their future, fight for their life
As brothers and sisters
They stand against the wind
Standing hand in hand til the battle begins
Their children are slaughtered
Their families destroyed
They are starving to death
A bloody revenge is their right
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered
Here in the place they were born
Moment to moment, here on this sacred ground
They have been living in harmony
Now the redeemer, the new conquistador
Self-righteous master is revealed to all
He plans their extinction
Great mother enslaved ravaged and polluted
They are living their final days
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered
Here in the place they were born
I found my redemption
Ancient prayers of light
Brought me from the darkness
Here is the place I belong
They will never break us, we have to believe
They will never break us if
Our spirit is strong
If we can hold on to what we believe
They will never break us if
Our spirit is strong
Their children are slaughtered
Their families destroyed
They are starving to death
And bloody revenge is their right
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered
Here in the place they were born
I found my redemption
Ancient prayers of light
Brought me from the darkness
Here is the place I belong
Here is the place I belong
Things that I’ll never know
Now that I am here
Dreams I will always hold as dear
As the life that I lost
Two stars will fall from the western sky
On a winter's night
The first our dead brother
Though he looks not like us
Be sure he is our brother
Come from the eagle spirit
We must pray our prayers of light for him
If our prayers of light be strong enough
If our belief be strong enough
He will rise, and he will know he is home
The second star is a golden ship
Strange gods of gold will hunt us
They are come to eat us all
Every one of us devoured until there is
No memory or trace of us
Come to enslave our great mother
Come to violate her this all shall come
There are things that I’ll never see
That will stay a memory
That's where they'll always be so far
Far away from me
Things that I’ll never know
Now that I am here
Dreams I will always hold as dear
As the life that I lost
Shoulder to shoulder they are ready to fight
Fight for their future, fight for their life
As brothers and sisters

Standing hand in hand til the battle begins
