Falling Stars

[Intro: jangly 12-string riff, cimbalom answering] [Verse 1] Midnight on the river Bug The forest holding its breath A hum comes rolling from the east A thousand wings of death Sergeant Nowak lights his pipe And squints into the black (Gotowi) He says they'll come in swarms tonight But boys, we'll send them back [Pre-Chorus] Hear them buzzing, hear them hum Here they come, here they come [Chorus] Falling stars, falling stars Watch them tumble from afar Silver wings on fire tonight Coming down in streams of light Falling stars, falling stars Tonight the sky is ours [Instrumental: 12-string riff, accordion] [Verse 2] The jammers sing a crackling song The guns light up the pines And one by one the drones come down Like rain on border lines The farmers watch from open doors The children on the hill (Ognia!) The eastern wind has turned around And now the night is still [Pre-Chorus] Hear them buzzing, hear them hum Here they come, here they come [Chorus] Falling stars, falling stars Watch them tumble from afar Silver wings on fire tonight Coming down in streams of light Falling stars, falling stars Tonight the sky is ours [Bridge: tempo lifts, mazurka accents, choir building] But a debt's a debt and dawn is near So we'll send a swarm of our own from here Across the wire, across the line An eye for an eye, in kind, in kind (Za wolność naszą i waszą) [Final Chorus: full band, choir chanting] Falling stars, falling stars Watch them tumble from afar Silver wings on fire tonight Coming down in streams of light Falling stars, falling stars Tonight the sky is ours [Outro: 12-string riff and cimbalom fading, choir] (Za wolność naszą i waszą)
