[Verse 1]

Another day, just like any other

Out of the blue, it turned into horror

How could they?

Why would they?

The innocent suffered hell's inferno

A senseless act that goes unforgotten

How could they?

They will pay

[Chorus]

When the eagle cries

(Blood will flow)

When the eagle cries

(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries

(We love her so)

When the eagle cries

(We will sacrifice)

When the eagle cries

[Verse 2]

Out of the ashes came a tempted vengeance

But we are focused, we seek redemption

We are free, we'll stay free

All they've done is make us stronger

The sleeping giant is asleep no longer

If need be, we'll die free

[Chorus]

When the eagle cries

(Blood will flow)

When the eagle cries

(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries

(We love her so)

When the eagle cries

(We will sacrifice)

When the eagle cries

[Guitar Solo: Jim Morris]

[Chorus]

When the eagle cries

(Blood will flow)

When the eagle cries

(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries

(We love her so)

When the eagle cries

(We will sacrifice)

When the eagle cries

They've only made us stronger

(Blood will flow

When the eagle cries)

We will sacrifice for freedom's fight

When the eagle cries!

(We love her so)

When the eagle cries

(We will sacrifice)

When the eagle cries

(Blood will flow)

When the eagle cries
