Wheresoever Eagles Gather
Carl Klang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the mountains up near Sandpoint,
north of Naples Idaho
Eagles gathered there together,
to guard the truth, so you might know
Down the road that followed Deep Creek,
at the turn that crossed the bridge
Federal Marshals had the road blocked,
to mark the siege of Ruby Ridge
There the armies of the enemy,
slayed your Bride and only son
Nearly killed your close companion,
when the shrapnel pierced his lung
We stand with you Randy Weaver
‘cause your Lord and Savior lives
Wheresoever eagles gather that is where His Body is
On that evening late one August
you were forced to take your stand
There two strangers as they trespassed,
drew first blood on private land
Governor Andrus, back in Boise,
he let the enemy tell him lies
From his anti-Christ decision,
Sam and Vicky lost their lives
Federal Agents, US Marshals
and FBI men stormed the hill
All on false fictitious charges,
given orders shoot to kill
We stand with you Randy Weaver,
‘cause your Lord and Savior lives
Wheresoever eagles gather, that is where His body is
Though the armies of the enemy,
may surround us in the night
There’s a host of Heavenly angels,
hovering near ready to fight
We stand with you Randy Weaver,
we are proud to call you friend
As we gather here together,
to stand beside you ’till the end
We stand with you Randy Weaver




‘cause your Lord and Savior lives
Wheresoever eagles gather, that is where His body is

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carl Klang’s song Wheresoever Eagles Gather describe the events surrounding the siege of Ruby Ridge, an incident that occurred in 1992 when a US Marshals Service operation against white supremacist Randy Weaver and his family in their remote cabin in Idaho went disastrously wrong, leading to a lengthy siege and the deaths of Weaver’s wife and son. The song describes the gathering of eagles, here used as a metaphor for the gathering of people who come together to protect the truth and fight against evil. The song depicts Randy Weaver, who believed in Christian Identity, as a hero fighting against a corrupt system that sought to persecute him and his family.


The opening lines of the song describe the location where the eagles gather to defend the truth, which is the mountainous region near Sandpoint, North of Naples. The song then refers to the siege of Ruby Ridge in August 1992, when the Federal Marshals blocked the road that crossed the bridge, leading to the stand-off between Weaver and the government forces that lasted for months. The lyrics describe how the armies of the enemy (the government forces) killed Weaver’s wife and son and seriously injured his close companion. The song highlights Weaver’s faith in Christ, which gave him strength to endure the tragedy and fight for his beliefs. Weaver is portrayed as a Christ-like figure, and his body is seen as an embodiment of the Body of Christ, where eagles gather to fight against evil.


The song also criticizes the Governor of Idaho, Andrus, who is portrayed as siding with the government and allowing them to lie to him about the situation. The lyrics describe how the Federal Agents, US Marshals, and FBI men stormed the hill on false charges and with orders to shoot to kill. Despite these challenges, the song reminds Weaver that he is not alone in his struggle and that heavenly angels are ready to fight alongside him. The song ends by affirming that the eagles will stand with Weaver and support him till the end.
