Sentinel Tower

Majestic and high 
A lair for eagles, 
in which they did dwell 
Piercing the sky 
A tower... 
The sentinel 

Every day at dawn 
The flight of an eagle to be seen 
In a pink sky 
Above forests of green 

For these wings guard our land 
Golden eyes, so keen 
On golden sand 
Above forests of green 

Spreading wing 
Upon sentinel tower 
A Shadowfire eagle, rising 

To feel the wind on the rampart... 
Sentinel tower 
Flexing of golden wing 
Mighty hunter at heart 
Eagles cry, piercing
