Verse 1

Do you remember the day that you all ran?

All alone on an empty street with a bible in your hand

The rain, the fire & smoke, the tears that you all cried

All alone on an empty street on the day the eagle died

Verse 2

Do you remember the way that they fell?

The touch of a long dark hand & the fear of hell

The cries for comfort of the weak & the strong

The fall of the cold hard steel, the rights & the wrongs

Chorus

The fall of a shadow all across this great land

The eagles’ cries are forever heard for the living & the damned

Verse 3

Do you remember a story we were told

About a man, the son of God who took men from the cold

He gave his life & world that’s what the story said

But too many die in this mans name, I think he wasted his breath
