[Verse 1]
Time was running out for all on board
Soaring up through the shadows of night
High above the clouds the engines roared
This would be their final flight
[Pre-Chorus]
The Russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea
Two hundred and sixty-nine innocent victims have died
[Chorus]
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies
[Verse 2]
Time was running out for everyone
Flying over the Sea of Japan
None would live to see the rising sun
Death was following close at hand
[Pre-Chorus]
The Russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea
Two hundred and sixty-nine innocent victims have died
[Chorus]
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
[Chorus]
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
[Outro]
Murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
Murder, murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
