Wings (Made of Steel) Lyrics

Calm to your eyes
Underneath stormy skies
Caught up inside
The maelstrom

Then, '45
London burned, our ally
Bombed to the ground
Feels like that now

I want wings made of steel
I want you to know how I feel
No one's gonna stop this air raid
I'll be home by daybreak

Now spotlights glow
Shots ring out
From below
Suddenly

Everything is topsy-turvy
All the dials and gauges blurry
Don't you worry
Everything is fine as long as

I've got wings made of steel
I want you to know how I feel
No one's gonna stop this air raid

Oh, tear me apart if you can
I'll be welcomed as a hero when I land
No one's gonna stop this air raid
I'll be home by daybreak

Throttle forward, shoulders back
Straight into the devil's lap
Instruments all ignored
Showing red across the board
Cockpit glass turning black
Only serves to hide the cracks
Landing wheels stripped away
Won't be needing them today
(Welcomed as a hero)
Fuselage white hot seared
Every marking disappeared
Right on target, center stage
My objective now in range
(Welcomed as a hero)
Kiss your picture, keep it close
It keeps me safer than you know
Don't worry, darling (worry, darling)
I'll be home by daybreak
