Wings Over Warsaw

[Verse 1] Into the fire, skies ablaze Engines scream through crimson haze Fueling hope with deadly cost On Polish land, the lines were crossed [Pre-Chorus] Low on ammo, high in pride They flew where others wouldn’t glide One more drop, one more flight Through Warsaw’s storm and deadly night [Chorus] Wings over Warsaw, 1944 Steel and spirit in the sky once more Flares light the way, no turning back Freedom rides on bombers’ track [Verse 2] Flak like thunder, iron rain Men of courage through the pain Fifty thousand feet of fate Too many heroes met too late [Pre-Chorus] Marked by fire, chased by night They dropped the load and kept the fight Red and white in silent plea From burning roofs to history [Chorus] Wings over Warsaw, 1944 Steel and spirit in the sky once more Smoke paints the air, hope bleeds below They fly where only angels go [Bridge – spoken, low voice] Between the Soviets and the Reich, A city fought, a sky was torn. But though the cargo came too slow, Their names are never ever gone. [Final Chorus] Wings over Warsaw, heroes ignored Still they answered what the world implored One last mission, no regret Their flight ensures we don’t forget Wings over Warsaw, 1944 Steel and spirit in the sky once more Smoke paints the air, hope bleeds below They fly where only angels go
