Eagles

Fair Roseanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale

Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane



Hatred enfolds us

Inculcates the minds with it's heresy

Laymen enfold us

Clemency arrives to set you free



Faith

Although Xavier has prayed

That life-giving waters may rain

Down on the souls of man

To cure them of their ways



These were the sins of Xavier's past

Hung like jewels in the forest of veils

Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge

Eve bears the stigma of original sin



Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws

Etched in the seam of nature's own hand

Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith



Although Xavier has prayed

That life-giving waters may rain

Down on the souls of man

To cure them of their ways



And as the night turns into day

Will the sun illuminate your way

Or will the nightmares come home to stay

Xavier's love lies in chains



These were the sins of Xavier's past

Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
