Only wings may bear you high

to reach the peak that breaks the sky

and stands in endless vigil o'er the vale

There the riders carved their hall

they tame and mount their feather'd thralls

and keen eyes watch ever their domain

Ride on. Fly high.

Men and beasts who sail the endless sky

o'er the fortress that no mortal dare to climb

the eagles dive

To join their host I sought to climb

the stones but sorely was denied

as a shadow wheeled and screamed from overhead

it craned its neck and gave its call

a talon struck to break my fall

its rider looked with mirth upon my plight

Ride on. Fly high.

the eagles dive

On the wing. On the wind. On a hunt without an end

O'er the fortress that no mortal dare to climb

the eagles dive

He said to join I must obtain

the wild eagles' guarded egg

and lay it down before the skyborn king

I climbed high to reach the eagles' roost

and I breathed the free air of the beasts they took

but turned back, for what a sin these birds to claim

Ride on. Fly high.

Men and beasts who sail the endless sky

o'er the fortress that no mortal dare to climb

On the wing. On the wind. On a hunt without an end.

Even though not all men were born to fly

the eagles dive.
