[Verse 2]
Tally on the lead, got the second in the turn,
Fox Three off the rail, watch the motor burn.
Jace is taking high ground, I'm dragging two below,
Trading speed for angles, forcing both to overshoot.
RWR is screaming, got a missile on my six,
Break into the notch, chaff out, clear the fix.
Lost him in the clouds, but I know where he'll be,
Right behind the bastard who's been trying to kill me.

[Chorus]
NEVER BREAK FORMATION!
Even when we split the sky!
When the odds are stacked against us,
And they've left us both to die!
NEVER BREAK FORMATION!
Let the whole damn world ignite!
They can write us off before we launch,
But they can't bury us tonight!

[Verse 3]
Strike route's still contested, got a battery to suppress,
Fuel's below the margin, but the job ain't finished yet.
Jace is running Winchester, I've got one missile left,
And a dozen miles of hostile ground between us and the deck.
I could turn for open water, save the fuel and save the jet,
But there's a second set of wings I ain't abandoning yet.
Roll back into danger, put the nose against the threat,
If they're taking Gambit Two, they'll have to take me with him.

[Bridge]
There's a wall of empty helmets,
There's a list of missing names.
Every patch they handed down
Was bought with somebody's pain.
They call the losses calculated,
Put a number on the dead.
But they never learned to count
The ones who came back instead.

[Final Chorus]
NEVER BREAK FORMATION!
Through the fire, through the night!
Two shadows on the radar,
Still together, still alive!
NEVER BREAK FORMATION!
Let 'em send us back again!
Not every Gambit makes it home,
But One and Two ain't finished yet!

[Verse 1] They marked the target, drew a line across the sea, Sent a pair of Gambits where no others dared to be. No escort in the corridor, no rescue standing by, Just a one-way flight plan through a heavily guarded sky. Jace is off the bough, I'm a heartbeat off his tail, Two more names on paper if the operation fails. Feet wet, climbing hard, got the coastline in our sights, Six bandits on the scope, and the SAMs are coming alive. [Verse 2] Tally on the lead, got the second in the turn, Fox Three off the rail, watch the motor burn.
