as the sun breaks
above the clouds
an old man stands on the hill.
as the ground warms
to the first rays of ligh
a birdsong shatters the still

his eyes
are ablaze
see the madman in his gaze.

fly, on your way
like an eagle
fly as high as the sun
on your way
like an eagle
fly, touch the sun

now a crowd forms
and a young boy appears
looks the old man in the eye
as he spreads his wings
and shouts at the crowd
in the name of god my father ill fly

his eyes
seemed so glazed
as he flies on the wings of a dream
now he knows
his father betrayed
now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave

fly, on your way
like an eagle
fly as high as the sun
on your way
like an eagle
fly, touch the sun

fly as high as the sun.

@rockheart: right on man! maiden is my fav.....other than metallica...... i mean 1980s metallica. ill do another lyric thread soon. keep an eye out!

@PaulG7719:right on i like any metallica before and justice for all, one of my very favs is slayer, pantera, anything hard and aggresive lol

i agree! i love that heavy 'screw the government, bang your head against a brick wall, kill a whole bunch of innocent people' type music
