“What I’m singing there is I’m that eagle. In Aboriginal culture we have totems. And that’s my totem. I am that eagle looking down. It is something that represents us and the band. We are an eagle dreaming clan. We all follow that bird. Iron Maiden has Eddie, well, we have that eagle we follow. And that Eagle is a spiritual bird to us.” -Chris Wallace
LYRICS:
I am the king of the skies
Watch me spread my wings
With the wind high above
With the clouds I fly free
Looking down to the ground
And from above I can see
My prey
I swoop in for the kill
I am an eagle
And I fly
I fly free
In the sky
(solo: Chris)
(solo: Gavin)
Stretching my claws for my feast
Cause I am the king of my domain
I can fly and see places
Where no one else can see
It’s my land of dreams
I am the legend of the skies
Cause I’m an Eagle
I am an eagle
And I fly
I fly free
In the sky
(Solo: Chirs)
(Solo: Gavin)

I like it; however I had expected it to be in aboriginal language. Good, basic metal, no effects or flashy photography. Have you considered putting out a song in your native language?
