When The Eagle Screams Lyrics

In the heart of battle we were tested

All of us were in the front line too

We were in the thick of it

Soon we were so sick of it

But we had much more soldering to do

I'll tell you what it was that drove us on

The certainty that we were right and the enemy was wrong

Go up on the mountain, speak to gods and men

See if they can tell you why they died

Ask them when we stop the greed

Ask them why we have to bleed

They will tell you, brother

When the eagle screams we die

In the heat of battle we were brave

Mentioned in dispatches that is true

We were given medals but now they call us devils

And now we can't decide between the two

I'll tell you what it was that changed the rules

When the high command was given up to businessmen and fools

Go up to the graveyard, tell them what I said

See if they rest easy where they lie

Ask them if they found release

Ask them if they rest in peace

They will tell you, brother

When the eagle screams we die

In the heat of battle we were murdered

We lie forever in a foreign field

Bodies broken, future lost

Lives unspoken, what a cost

Still the young men come with zest and zeal

I'll tell you why they want to fight and die

Because the people over them are full of shit and lies

Go up to the battlefield, ask them what they want

Find out how they feel where they lie

They would like to win the war

But when they wonder who it's for

They will tell you, brother

When the eagle screams we die

When the eagle screams

When the eagle screams you die

When the eagle screams you die

Eagle screams you die, hey
