Stone-cold pillars reaching for the grey I left the valley floor to rot and fade away Where the air is thin and the shadows grow long I found the rhythm of a different kind of song No fences up here, no lines in the dirt Just the bite of the frost and the holy sort of hurt My lungs are burning with the ghost of the gale Above the broken tracks and the rusting iron rail I see the world like a map made of glass Watching the fever of the centuries pass I’ve got the heart of a rebel, the wings of a king High above the wreckage where the mountain bells ring! High like the eagles fly, over the ridge so steep Leaving the promises that I couldn’t keep High like the eagles fly, wild and unconfined Leaving the dust of the hollow far behind Yeah, I’m sovereign of the crags, touching the sky! Break the tether! Snap the chain! I’m washing my spirit in the freezing rain! The higher I climb, the less I can fear The static of the city cannot reach me here! High like the eagles fly, over the ridge so steep Leaving the promises that I couldn’t keep High like the eagles fly, wild and unconfined Leaving the dust of the hollow far behind Yeah, I’m sovereign of the crags, touching the sky! Floating on the thermals... Above the sin... Above the law...
