Like An Eternity lyrics

Eternal engines roar and shatter silent sky (We're patrolling the ocean) We're searching high and low, we ask no questions why (And serve with pride and devotion) They lose their hopes, they think it's all in vain What we do doesn't matter They write us off and then try to explain That we don't know any better We're sworn and under command It's all that we go by and understand It's our allegiance, it's our affinity We'll do what we have to do; no praise, no recognitions is due We have been waiting for, been waiting like an eternity Another sleepless night, the search goes on and on Each day our chances get slimmer Tomorrow is unknown, it chills us to the bone As our patience runs thinner We're sworn and under command It's all that we go by and understand It's our allegiance, it's our affinity We'll do what we have to do; no praise, no recognitions is due We have been flying for, been flying like an eternity
