As the sun breaks, above the ground,
an old man stands on the hill.
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light,
a birdsong shatters the still.
His eyes are ablaze,
see the madman in his gaze.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears,
Looks the old man in the eye.
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd,
“In the name of God, my father I fly”
His eyes seem so glazed,
As he flies on the wings of a dream.
Now he knows his father betrayed.
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas
