The ‘Eagle’, in eternal torment sleeps
Time for his mighty heart to break, to weep
As he soars atop the mountains and sweeps
The endless peaks, with wings stretch'd wide
Majestic, like his country's Symbol of Pride,
Reigns o'er the Earth, the Air and the Tide
Heavens cried cold tears of desperate Woe
Covered the peaks with eternal majestic snow
His flame transformed the cold into eternal glow
Arise, ‘Eagle’, spread your Wings and Fly
Don’t let the Wind breathe its mournful sigh
Heaven's light shines your way to the Sky
Fly homeward, Eagle, where the Eternals are
Fly homeward and grab the ‘Brightest Star’
Let your thunderous scream be heard afar
When disease extinguished the Eagle's heart
Mountains rumbled; their peaks split apart
The Sun embraced him that his burden may depart
Fly homeward, Eagle, beat your wings in flight
Join the ‘lamps of Heaven’ to shine through the Night
Darkness fades as your Spirit finally joins the Light
