Albert York - I Am an Eagle

I am an eagle
And I'm flying high
There's blood on my feathers
I'm the king of the sky
I see you for miles
It's no use to try
I show no remorse
For making you cry

I am an eagle
And I will not cease
I'm a hunter by nature
Carnivorous beast
As long as I'm soaring
There will be no peace
Salvation is futile
To survive I must feast

I am an eagle
And I rule these trees
Begone from this place
Away with the breeze
O humans, I warn you
I'm begging you, please
Your guns cannot reach me
I long to be free

I am an eagle
I'm stuck on the ground
There's blood on my feathers
And here come the hounds
The hunting is over
What treasure they've found
And sat here, I'm crying
While making no sound

I was an eagle
And I ruled the sky
