[Verse 1]
Winged with steel they fill the air
The soldiers of fortune will ride
Into the sights of the enemy's gun
Those who have taken their oaths tonight
Are well prepared, they know they'll do or die
Even if it's suicide
[Chorus]
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On the wings of no return
[Verse 2]
Dressed to kill where eagles dare
The fate of a nation's at hand
Is this the answer to their prayer?
Come the dawn, through the blood red skies
Return with tears in their eyes
And they recall, thou shalt not kill
[Bridge]
And in the morning, they'll take a hero's bow
And make the ever lasting flight
Hear them calling up above all across the skies
Hear them calling up above from the other side
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Hear them call
[Chorus]
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On the wings of no return
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight
Wasted lives and spirits run free
On the wings of no return
[Outro]
There's a fire in the sky
We all live to die
Ohhhhhh
Is this the answer?
Let's take a chance
As the skies will burn tonight...
