Fly, ‘Eagle’ and spread your powerful wings
Above the clouds in a dreamy majestic flight
Let thy scream sound as when trumpets sing
Reverberating atop mountains of eternal light
The Sun awaits your wings of flame
Freedom awaits you in blissful Heaven
Leave the darkness behind to its shame
The lights of eternal bliss you are given
No 'hunter' can break your fearless wings
Or cage thy spirit in a feeble human form
On the mountain tops you are the King
Fly into the boundless sky and stir the storm
Heaves awaits you; Glory you are shown
Take joy in your ‘last’ Blessed Flight
Perch at the top of your mighty Throne
Blessed with glory of eternal light
Giving the Eagle’s eyes their piercing sight
And his Wings their majestic power of flight
Above the clouds in a dreamy majestic flight
Let thy scream sound as when trumpets sing
Reverberating atop mountains of eternal light
The Sun awaits your wings of flame
Freedom awaits you in blissful Heaven
Leave the darkness behind to its shame
The lights of eternal bliss you are given
No 'hunter' can break your fearless wings
Or cage thy spirit in a feeble human form
On the mountain tops you are the King
Fly into the boundless sky and stir the storm
Heaves awaits you; Glory you are shown
Take joy in your ‘last’ Blessed Flight
Perch at the top of your mighty Throne
Blessed with glory of eternal light
Giving the Eagle’s eyes their piercing sight
And his Wings their majestic power of flight
