Flying Fortress – Cage – letras

We took to the skiesAnd broke through the clouds on that fateful dayInto a formation we never should breakWhat some called the Flying FortressWas wings on a bulletproof cageWith 13 machine guns a crew barely of ageAs we fly to enemy spacesThe air is alive with the scream of a deafening humOur mission is critical no price is too high to payHere they comeFighters swarming and blasting gunsFrom tyrants freedom must be savedOne in five won’t come back aliveGlory shines upon the brave300 Luftwaffe met us with all guns ablazeThey stood right between usAnd the Messerschmitt lineOur gunners frantically followed their flight pathsDefending our planes spiralling downwardGood young men diedAs the Allies are shot down in flamesJust a few of us made it our target is nearly in sightJust a few more moments and it’s bombs awayBlasted to dustFighters swarming and blasting gunsFrom tyrants freedom must be savedOne in five won’t come back aliveGlory shines upon the braveBombers diving with few survivingBut still we will have victoryThrough our sites the ground ignitesEurope finally will be free!Just a few made it back to the baseSome crashed upon landing and others into the seaOver 70 planes and 650 men lostBlack ThursdayFighters swarming and blasting gunsFrom tyrants freedom must be savedOne in five won’t come back aliveGlory shines upon the braveBombers diving with few survivingBut still we will have victoryThrough our sites the ground ignitesEurope finally will be free!
