THE ANIMALS

Eagle

Gold eyes rush the spirit sun
Burst of vision bound in speed
Wheeling earth at last outrun
A scream that makes the wild wind bleed

Burst of vision bound in speed
Claws extended into space
A scream that makes the wild wind bleed,
Tears the sky’s blue satin face

Claws extended into space
Wheeling earth at last outrun
Tears the sky’s blue satin face
Gold eyes rush the spirit sun
