Lyrics

Velvet, ruby eyes sending streams
Of illusions to your brain.
You sigh and smile as your sanity
Trickles down the drain.
The horse you ride leaps into the sky
When it needles in the stretch.
And races through your mortal veins
Impossible to catch.

You are a snow eagle
When your strung out and down.
You are a snow eagle
When the high that your riding
Crashes into the ground.

You soar among the greasy clouds,
The smoke from Satan's forge.
But you crash into a mountain top
And plunge into a gorge.
The quaking of your brittle bones
Is deafening in your ears.
And you try to climb the canyon walls
Made slippery with your tears.

You are a snow eagle
When your strung out and down.
You are a snow eagle
When the high that your riding
Crashes into the ground

You prowl the evil alley ways
Searching for your prey.
Your eyes lock on a frightened face
And you know you've found the way.
Your hands reach out like raptor claws,
Your talons drip with red.
But it's okay 'cause no you'll fix
That screaming in your head.

You are a snow eagle
When your strung out and down.
You are a snow eagle
When the high that your riding
Turns you into a snow eagle
When your strung out and down.
You are a snow eagle
When the high that your riding
Crashes into the ground.
