David Shepherd Grossman - As The Eagle Cries

	As The Eagle Cries (Listen) clip There's a lantern on a branch It glows against the sky Fire sparks golden wings in the night And the eagle cries So we laid to rest our country down down down People gazed as banners waved Goodbye to every town Down the stream on rocks The moss still grows Yet time will free the likes of thee Who wait for the next snow All ideals are lost the pride's all gone gone gone Once proud to praise Now who will raise our flag Come the dawn From coast to coast And on throughout the land Stories of our past Were carried once again The constitution Faded with the years Yet people longed to reunite The states that disappeared The mist shall rise The lantern shall glow As kindle creaks incentive speaks To those who feel they know And men who shall prevail over what's lost lost lost And morning dew to wake the few From slumber's softened frost

As The Eagle Cries
(Listen) clip

There's a lantern on a branch
It glows against the sky
Fire sparks golden wings in the night
And the eagle cries
So we laid to rest our country down down down
People gazed as banners waved
Goodbye to every town

Down the stream on rocks
The moss still grows
Yet time will free the likes of thee
Who wait for the next snow
All ideals are lost the pride's all gone gone gone
Once proud to praise
Now who will raise our flag
Come the dawn

From coast to coast
And on throughout the land
Stories of our past
Were carried once again
The constitution
Faded with the years
Yet people longed to reunite
The states that disappeared

The mist shall rise
The lantern shall glow
As kindle creaks incentive speaks
To those who feel they know
And men who shall prevail over what's lost lost lost
And morning dew to wake the few
From slumber's softened frost
