"This is flight leader, all birds tighten, confirm formation status, over" "Iron-Mare to flight leader, already engaged by enemy fighters, my gunners are going wild, repeat, under heavy fire" "Flight leader to all units, descend to drop altitude of eighteen hundred feet, over" "Big johnny here, im drifting, correcting course to maintain formation, over" Gray skies crack engines roar Exploding flak the hymn of war Hulls ignite tracers take flight Reaper waits to claim the night Charlie-Zero burns in flame Iron-Mare succumbs the same Big Johnny's engines tear and wail Titan-Five swerves with holes in her tail One by one they hit the ground Flames and steel the only sound Leaking oil we climb we fight Steel into soil for this war we toil Enemies rain from the skies Bringing death to hopeful lives Shadow-Belle burns her crew inside Copper-Raven's gunners still facing the fire Charlie-Zero burns in flame Iron-Mare succumbs the same Big Johnny's engines howl and moan Titan-Five flies all alone The cabin shakes the metal groans A haunting chorus of fractured tones Clouds ignite in crimson blaze Our final dance in heaven's haze One by one they hit the ground Flames and steel the only sound Leaking oil we climb we fight Steel into soil for this war we toil A single plane through smoke and haze Carries fire our death hymn plays Payload lands target aflame The bomber’s name lost to the grave
