| The Alan Parsons Project – The Eagle Will Rise Again Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
When I first heard this song, maybe because of other things I was reading etc.. well undoubtedly because of things like that of course, it all comes to bear... it seemed to me like a plee from Satan to God after his fall. There is ego, " I could easily fall from grace Then another would take my place"... which is at the heart of Lucifer's story.... of course the song seems to start with the fall being a possibility... but of course, the thought itself represents ego and a regard for one's place, favoured in the sight of God. Then we have the "Hell" As the days of his life are but grains of sand As they fall from your open hand And vanish upon the land but! here the lyrics say "he" but previously there is a similar stanza, but with a different perspective. As the days of my life are but grains of sand As they fall from your open hand At the call of the wind's command Is this saying "I" and "he" are the one... ? Hell being a state of being out of God's sight, like the grains of sand... which fall "upon the land"... Then we have In the dawn of the morning sky The eagle will rise again Where you can see the possible reference to The Morning Star... Lucifer, and the eagle being a bird with deep esoteric and spiritual meaning as a symbol. This eagle learn to fly in the dark, then rises with the sun. Then the Hermetic element, which is throughout with reference to the elements, there is also a sense of words falling on the ears of the deaf... There is a deep sadness and I would say sympathy, for the plight of whomever the protagonist of the song is. and this part Let me see the light, let me be the light And so, with no warning, no last goodbye In the dawn of the morning sky The eagle will rise again let me see the light and be the light, seems very much in line with Hermetic to Christian ideas of the Creator, The All.. God and the state of grace being one in Gods light with all creation.. maybe I'm getting carried away with myself there lol |
