Beneath Red Skies

Beneath red skies retribution arise
Carven flesh 'neath iron's gaze
Spires of bone shelter claret quills

In pools of blood does the eagle wade
Outstretched wings within an osseous rage
Lifeless eyes reflect a kingsman's scorn
Talons grip upon a broken corpse
The knell rang not on mournful ears
requiem only a dead man hears
Only the dead can hear
Eyes fixed upon this man now slain
The eagle rests upon atoned remains
Atoned remains
