Mighty Wings is an unusual track for The Darkness; it features some very heavy, down-tuned riffs, as well as liberal use of synth elements. Vocalist Justin Hawkins described the instrumentation as such;
Tones of a Giorgio Moroder soundtrack to a film in which Kate Bush and Pantera go on a bludgeoni...
[Verse 1]
Down goes the sun
The end has begun
A season with Eros, and my work is done
Out goes the fire
In come the choir
Why must I live, when my dreams expire?
[Pre-Chorus]
God speed, my friend
Open up your mighty wings and fly
This is the end
The universe has brought you here to die
[Chorus]
Give me just a sip of your potion
Let me be a drop in the ocean
[Verse 2]
Ravens in flight
I bark and I bite
I am not man, I am dynamite
I am enraged
The beast is un-caged
Fire at will, enemy engaged
[Pre-Chorus]
God speed, my friend
Open up your mighty wings and fly
This is the end
The universe has brought you here to die
[Chorus]
Give me just a sip of your potion
Let me be a drop in the ocean
[Bridge]
Open up your mighty wings
And fly (and fly, and fly)
Open up your mighty wings
And fly
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
God speed, my friend
Open your mighty wings and fly (fly)
This is the end
The universe has brought you here to die (die, die)
[Chorus]
Give me just a sip of your potion
Let me be a drop in the ocean
