The Falconer

His eyes are grim and cunning
He has always been your guard
Mesmerized your very soul
And enslaved your silent heart
You've been tied to him for ages
With a blood red silken cord
Fed him with your power
Oh, for such a slight reward

But you will cross the mountains
You will feel the cool wind blow
Yeah, you will fly forever
When the falconer lets you go

You once had faith in heaven
You were innocent and young
Your gaze was clear and piercing
And your wings were brave and strong
But the falconer took you prisoner
And he made you fear the sky
He hooded your bright vision
And he choked your battle cry

But you will cross the mountains
You will feel the cool wind blow
Yeah, you will fly forever
When the falconer lets you go

Miles and miles below you
And the future you will see
Yeah, you will fly forever
When the falconer sets you free

No one else should be where you belong
No one else should be singing your song
You just let it out, shout it out loud
You just let it out, singing so proud
Singing so proud

You will cross the mountains
You will feel the cool wind blow
Yeah, you will fly forever
When the falconer lets you go
Miles and miles below you
And the future you will see
Yeah, you will fly forever
When the falconer sets you free
