On Eagles' Wings Lyrics

The tears stream down her face onto the cold hospital bed
Just like a prisoner between four ugly walls
The fear she can't control is running rampant in her head
With every day she spent just waiting for that call
And I will never leave her side
We walk the tightrope between faith and fear
Each moment of our lives
But then the darkest hour of night is turned to day
Another miracle, another act unfolding in this play
And I'm blown away
The wine overflows, and my cup runneth over again
My thankfulness grows
With these blessings I can't comprehend

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

I looked him in the eye and played these words
Over and over in my mind
But that can't be what he just said
I heard it for myself and know that life can be unkind
But can't you see I'm much too young to lose my dad?
But I'm blown away
When you laugh at the odds
For the doctors cannot know your plans
I'm blown away
You hold the keys to all life and death and all time
In your hands

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

Every tribe and every nation
(Life your voices and sing)
All in heaven, all creation
Let the tongues of men and angels
(Lift your voices and sing)
All ye blessed, all ye thankful, sing!

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

Theocracy started life as a one-man project created by Matt Smith, who played and sang everything on the self-titled debut album released at the end of 2003 on MetalAges Records. The album received fantastic reviews and worldwide acclaim within the metal world.

The music epic, melodic power metal with occasional progressive flourishes. Long songs, longer songs, short songs, fast songs, slow songs, midtempo songs, ballads... epic choirs, soaring vocals, pounding drums, crunchtastic guitars, and most importantly, melodies that get stuck in your head.

After the album's release, drummer Shawn Benson and guitarist Jon Hinds joined, and Theocracy started playing shows locally and working on new material. The band's sophomore album, Mirror of Souls, is out now on Ulterium Records, and it meets the same high songwriting standard set on the debut disc. The production and the performances have all been taken up a level on Mirror of Souls though, and the 22-minute title track perfectly sums up everything Theocracy is about. The album has received spectacular reviews so far, and is available online and through retailers worldwide!

2009 saw the joining of Jared Oldham as the official bassist after touring with Theocracy for a bit. Val Allen Wood was also welcomed as new lead guitarist. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
