Paroles de Flying Fortress

We took to the skies And broke through the clouds on that fateful day Into a formation we never should break What some called the Flying Fortress Was wings on a bulletproof cage With 13 machine guns a crew barely of age As we fly to enemy spaces The air is alive with the scream of a deafening hum Our mission is critical no price is too high to pay Here they come Fighters swarming and blasting guns From tyrants freedom must be saved One in five won't come back alive Glory shines upon the brave 300 Luftwaffe met us with all guns ablaze They stood right between us And the Messerschmitt line Our gunners frantically followed their flight paths Defending our planes spiralling downward Good young men died As the Allies are shot down in flames Just a few of us made it our target is nearly in sight Just a few more moments and it's bombs away Blasted to dust Fighters swarming and blasting guns From tyrants freedom must be saved One in five won't come back alive Glory shines upon the brave Bombers diving with few surviving But still we will have victory Through our sites the ground ignites Europe finally will be free! Just a few made it back to the base Some crashed upon landing and others into the sea Over 70 planes and 650 men lost Black Thursday Fighters swarming and blasting guns From tyrants freedom must be saved One in five won't come back alive Glory shines upon the brave Bombers diving with few surviving But still we will have victory Through our sites the ground ignites Europe finally will be free!
