Goering's on the phone to Freiburg he says Willie's done quite a job
Hitler's on the phone from Berlin he says I'm gonna make you a star
My Captain von Odine heres your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve theyll all be here I think you know the job
(play this staccato twice: )
(then staccato with the vocals)
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die must they live that I might die
(Dmaj power chord x 2)
In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb
sometimes Id faint and be lost to our side
But theres no reward for failure but death so watch me in the mirror
Keep in the glidepath
Get me through these radars no I cannot fail not when silver slugs are
eager to feed
I cannot fail no not now when twenty five bombers wait ripe
(again staccato with the vocals)
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die must they live that I might die
(Dmaj power chord x 2)
Me-262 prince of turbojet Junkers jumo 004
Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout and
See these English planes go burn
Now you be my witness how red were the skies
When the fortresses flow for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia in april of '45
Then play this x 7 :
Then:
(again staccato with the vocals)
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripened ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die must they live that I might die
Must these Englishmen live that I might die Junkers jumo 004
(repeat many times)
Bombers at 12 o'clock high
