The "eye in the sky" is the famous symbol of the eye of Horus, the Egyptian god who had the head of a falcon. It is a symbol of protection, royal power
and good health. It represents the eye of the Egyptian god Horus, "The Sky God."
The eye of Horus is the most famous Egyptian symbol. The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet.
The name Wadjet is derived from the word "wadj" meaning "green."

The album contains the instrumental piece "Sirius", which has become a staple of many big-time college and professional sporting arenas throughout North America. It is best known
for its use by the Chicago Bulls to introduce its starting line-up (including Michael Jordan) during its championship years of the 1990s. It was even the opening song of the
documentary Michael Jordan to the Max and is also used as the soundtrack for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team tunnel walk before every home game.
The song was also used by the New Orleans Saints as their entrance music for Super Bowl XLIV. The Kansas City Chiefs also used it during kickoffs.
France's tennis team used the song as their entrance theme for the 2014 Davis Cup final against Switzerland. Full article.
