|
Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight |
|
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight |
|
Deeper into Germany but we all know the score |
|
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before |
|
Now the flare gun fires and we get the go |
|
Say goodbye to the earth below |
|
Tonight on silver wings |
|
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon |
|
On silver wings |
|
Flying where no angels fly |
|
I have brought these engins to the very jaws of hell |
|
Metal hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell |
|
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread |
|
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead |
|
Now the searchlight blinding us with its light |
|
Can't shake this one off tonight |
|
Tonight on silver wings |
|
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon |
|
On silver wings |
|
Flying where no angels fly |
|
The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low |
|
Tanks are blown to pieces |
|
Soon the wing is gonna go |
|
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago |
|
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive |
|
I can't believe she's still in the sky |
|
Me and my merlins fly |
|
Tonight on silver wings |
|
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon |
|
On silver wings |
|
Flying where no angels fly |
|
On silver wings |
|
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon |
|
On silver wings |
|
I can touch the place of God' |
