Bruce Dickinson Silver Wings Lyrics

Silver Wings Lyrics

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…
