Aces High

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
There goes the sound of the guns sending flak
Now for the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel-blocks
There's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving

Run, live to fly
Fly to live
Do or diе
Won't you run, live to fly?
Fly to live
Aces high

Moving to firе at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at eight o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109s out of the sun
Ascending, turning our Spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Going in again
Rolling, turning, diving
Roll

Run, live to fly
Fly to live
Do or die
Won't you run, live to fly?
Fly to live
Aces high
