Silver Wings Lyrics - Bruce Dickinson

Sound of Merlin's fired up and their spoiling for the fight 

A thousand bombers ready, it's the target for the night 

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 good bye 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 engines 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'm the living dead 

Now the search light blinding us with its spite 

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, yeah 

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 still in the sky 

Me and my Merlin's 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 face of God
