Eagle, Eagle, burning bright,
Soaring in the skies of the forbidden night;
What fool, could ever compare,
It’s incredible wings, it’s incredible flare?

Thou dare challenge thee? Thou shall fade,
You will plead mercy, from the wings of an everlasting fire,
I wonder, I wonder, which pray will it grasp?
which creature dare its deadly talons clasp!

When the stars were ready, they threw down they’re spears,
Despite the despair they’re glimmer let go,
Do they turn despair to awe when they see?
Did he who made the stars possibly make thee?

Eagle, Eagle, burning bright,
Soaring in the skies of the forbidden night;
What fool, could ever compare,
It’s incredible wings, it’s incredible flare?
