Engines rumble and come to life

Blades churn like a cyclonic vortex

Aircraft growls like an ancient beast

Awakening from its slumber

Roaring down the runway

Towards the overhead melee

I leave the earth's bonds

To the great beyond

Like a rising phoenix

In aerial conflicts

Loaded with a bomb bay full of shells

From the heavens, I shall rain hell

Clouds of flak

Begin to rise

Fighters start their attack

As the barrage... intensifies

Messerschmitts brutalize

Taking hits

Cloud cover breaks,

As the targets... materialize

With all our bombs released

And emptied payload

Mission complete

As the targets explode

With our bomber stream diminished

We still persisted

As the tail-gunner looks below

Illuminated by the fires glow
