With eyes of glass and piercing sight He watches the ground below, no sense of smell nor aid of light He studies the moves, tracking his foes Standing his ground, reading his moves Killing machine, he does it for life A malevolent creation in his own right Wings are spread he's built for flight He soars down out of the sky With blinding speed and endless flight You won't escape the eagle's eye He hunts without sleep, all through the night Claiming all that's brave to challenge his might With thrashing speed, as quiet as night He's waiting his turn, he will eat tonight The games of survival, the quest for life Only the strong survive, the weak will fall tonight Testing his boundaries, honing his skills Killing is his business, he does it at will Wings so strong spread so wide He floats to the earth out of the sky With fearful strength the Lord of the sky He sees everything with his eagle's eye Eagle's eye Peaceful and clear, everything seen Everything calm, so serene Suddenly changed, turned so black To make more room for you and me Eagle's eye closed with a tear not dry He no longer floats to the earth from the sky He's no longer strong, no endless flight Nothing is seen from the eagle's eye
