WHERE EAGLES DARE

(Harris)6.08

It`s snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night,
The mission is near the confident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles there.

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below,
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They`re closing in the fortress is near
it`s standing high in the sky,
The cable car`s the only way in
it`s really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They`ve got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all around the valley,
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dare to go where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare.

THE TROOPER

(Harris)4.28

You`ll take my life but i`ll take yours too
You`ll fire your musket but i`ll run you through
So when you waiting for the next attack
You`d better stand there`s no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As i plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The migthy roar of the Russian guns
and as we race towards the human wall
The scream of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdles bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We got so near yet so far away
We wan`t live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sigths
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as i lay there gazing at the sky
My body`s numb and my throat is dry
And as i lay forgotten and alone
Whithout a tear i draw my parting groan.

ACES HIGH

(Harris)5.29

Theres goes the sirens that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we´ve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks there´s no time to waste
Ghatering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it´s to late.

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.

Move in to fire at mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again.

Bandits at 8´o clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109´s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them i press down my guns.

Rolling, turning, diving,
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
