[C#]
As [F#m] the sun breaks above the ground, an old man stands on the hill.
[E] As the ground warms to the first rays of light, [C#] a bird's song shatters the steel.
[F#] His eyes [G#] are [E] ablaze, [A] see the madman in [C#] his cage.
[F#] Fly [E]
like [D] an eagle, fly as [E] high [F#] as the sun.
[E]
[D] Like an eagle, [E] fly, [C#] touch the sun.
Now [F#m] the crowd breaks, and a young warrior appears.
Looks the old man in the eye.
[E] As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd, in [F#] the name of God, my Lord.
His eyes [E] seem so glazed, [A] as he flies on the wings [B] of a dream.
[C#] Now [F#] he knows his father [G#] betrayed.
[A] Now his wings spread to [B] ashes, to ashes his [F#] grave.
Fly
[E] [D] like an eagle, fly as [E] high as [F#] the sun.
[E] On your way, [D] like an eagle,
[E] fly, touch [B] the sun.
