Cover art for When the Eagle Cries lyrics by Iced Earth

When I first heard this song I thought it was about the Japs attacking Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, 1941, especialy when he said "The sleeping giant is asleep no longer". Those were Adm. Yamamoto's words after the attack. Then I saw the video to Eagle Cries, so I guess I was wrong. Oh hey "Arm" and "Mattxg88", Screw both of you! Nuking Nagasaki and Hiroshima saved Millions of lives on both sides by bringing the war to an early end. The Japs would have fought till every last man, woman and child were dead. Read your history you narrow minded liberal pieces of crap!!!
