Wagons - Eagle On The Hill Lyrics

Take me back to the Eagle on the Hill And I'll wait here for you till the morning
I will.
Take the road, eh, that winds up all the way
And I wait here for you till the break of day...hey.
Here she comes, eh, coming over the rise.
Her hands are all grazed, she got blood coming out of her eyes.
She said "They found the baby, lying in his bed
Grabbed him by the neck and strangled him dead.
Said you go back down that hill my man and seek your revenge
For I am hurt,
Your son is gone
His death must be avenged".
So I went back down that hill with tears streaming down my face
Thinking I could kill those men and stay in God's grace.
'Twas at the Crown Hotel I found those men who took
my only son.
I broke their necks and climbed that hill before nightfall had begun.
So I went back down that hill my man and sought my
revenge.
An eye for an eye, and a guilty mind.
His death has been avenged.
I met you there, under the eagles stare.
Towards hell we move on.

Take me back to the Eagle on the Hill And I'll wait here for you till the morning
I will.
Take the road, eh, that winds up all the way
And I wait here for you till the break of day...hey.
Here she comes, eh, coming over the rise.
Her hands are all grazed, she got blood coming out of her eyes.
She said "They found the baby, lying in his bed
Grabbed him by the neck and strangled him dead.
Said you go back down that hill my man and seek your revenge
For I am hurt,
Your son is gone
His death must be avenged".
So I went back down that hill with tears streaming down my face
Thinking I could kill those men and stay in God's grace.
'Twas at the Crown Hotel I found those men who took
my only son.
I broke their necks and climbed that hill before nightfall had begun.
So I went back down that hill my man and sought my
revenge.
An eye for an eye, and a guilty mind.
His death has been avenged.
I met you there, under the eagles stare.
Towards hell we move on.
