A breaking sight
It feels like daydreaming up there
Gliding with might
Over my valleys, my dear woods and lakes
Risking my life doing whatever it may take
Ears to the engine, eyes to the horizon
Upon the mountains the sun is now shining
My plane is all set, steady in my hands
I fight for my country to take back our lands
Then, out of the sun
The enemy aircraft appears
The hunt has begun
Soon I see another one right under my tail
It’s two against one now and I have to prevail
Turn to the left, fall in a dive
Spinning around for dear life
Jump in the cloud, point to the ground
Shut off the engine and glide
Finally firing my shells
I'm flying on a thin line
Between heaven and hell!
Fly fly fly
Up to the skies
Fly fly fly
They call me a hero
But who wants to be?
No glory, no honor
But horrors and grief
Towards the ride of heroes
Over three years now, and I could go home
But I won't be leaving my brothers alone
The prancing black horse is needed up there
We are squad ninety-first, we are the knights of the air
Like aces we fly, through the tides of this war
A peaceable future is worth fighting for
The blood of our soldiers is painting the land
But the solstice is coming, and the goal is at hand
The slaughter continues no matter the cost
And the old sense of chivalry seems to be lost
The artillery's roaring, the flashes of guns
Through towers of black smoke
That blot out the sun
We're endlessly flying over the enemy lines
And each time it's harder
To come back and survive
Surrounded by shrapnels
It takes just one mistake
As I watch for the last time
My valleys and lakes
Then it’s just fire and flames
The fate of a hero, the name of the game!
The ride of the heroes
To fly and be free
A legend of bravery for all to see
They call me a hero
But who wants to be?
