Exalted Eagles Lyrics

Protomartyr
"Exalted Eagles lyrics by Protomartyr" is an English post-punk song with dark satire and a focus on the issues of power, privilege, social stratification, and institutional hypocrisy. The song combines customer review language, policies, and approvals with the language of wealth, imprisonment, racial stratification, and patriarchy, forming a rather unpleasant juxtaposition of regular language of service with more profound forms of power relations. The images of eagles, stars, and the coming golden era contribute to the overall impression of grandeur but raise the question of whether anyone is actually benefiting from these values. Protomartyr – Exalted Eagles features ironic and repetitive writing style with critical and theatrical undertones.

Exalted Eagles Song Lyrics

We got a bad review
That act of violence was an aberration
If it was up to you
Would you stay with us again?
Would you suggest us to your friends?
Complicity is compensated

As exalted eagles fly
Nested in the stars

Can we avoid this retribution?
Can we appeal to Saturn?
Our policy is "live and let live"
Our motto's egalitarian

A great cycle of ages is born anew
All that's golden shall rise
As exalted eagles fly
And nest among the stars

Incarceration, that's the policy
Wealth rules, that's the policy
Hail, white god, that's the policy
Male supremacy, that's the policy

As exalted eagles fly
And nest among the stars

The maid will not return
She left without pay
Returned to her barrow very far away
Left the towels on the floor
Unmade the bed

A great cycle of ages brings nothing new
The exalted eagles have been pulled down

(Will you approve of us?)
(Will you approve of us?)
(Will you write a review?)

He approves us
He approves us
He approves our undertakings
He approves us
He approves us
He approves us
He approves our undertakings
He approves us
He approves us
He approves us
He approves our undertakings
He approves us
He approves us
He approves us
He approves our undertakings
He approves us
