Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden


It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night,
The mission is near the confident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare.

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below,
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky,
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all round the valley,
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dared to go where no one would try
they chose to fly where eagles dare.

When The Eagle Cries - Iced Earth

Another day, just like any other
Out of the blue, it turned to horror
How could they? Why would they?
The innocents suffered hell's inferno
An senseless act that goes unforgotten
How could they? They will pay

When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries

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

When the eagle cries
(Blood will flow)
When the eagle cries
(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries
(We love us all)
When the eagle cries
(We'll sacrifice)
When the eagle cries

When the eagle cries
(Blood will flow)
When the eagle cries
(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries
(We love us all)
When the eagle cries
(We'll sacrifice)
When the eagle cries

“All I know is something like a bird within her sang/all I know she sang a little while/then flew on...’’

[DemforBush]

Kind of a sad tune, but I really like The Twilight Singers’ song “That’s Just How That Bird Sings.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtXXIGzAJ1E

See the morning light
It breaks the sky to the East
Hear the birds above
Announcing the light
Like rays of love

Hear the one who sings
As darkness clouds the Western sky
The one who sounds as though
He’s weeping for his long lost lover

He’s alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds
Coming down
Over the rooftops, into your dreams
That’s just how that bird...sings

Thanks for posting that. I’m not the world’s biggest McCartney fan, but I truly love that song and that was an excellent video, the sound quality is wonderful.

One of the first records I ever owned was a 45 of Pete Daily’s Chicagoans recording of “Chicken Rag.”

Also had a copy of “Bye Bye Blackbird” on 78, by Gene Austin, if I’m recalling correctly. Or maybe it was Vernon Dalhart. No, it was probably Austin.

Used to watch the movie from start to finish whenever it was on TV just for those sequences - lots of happy, naughty fantasies......
