Fire in the Sky

Sound of alarm during the early morn
Look to the sky, all of us seem uncertain now
Is this for real or is it another drill
We all wonder as we now prepare

Flight suit is on
Running towards my plane
Sirens aloud echoing all around me
Into the cockpit
Turning my engine on
Up to the sky our planes arise

Blast through the air as we increase our speed
Check to ensure that the systems are all on
Steady my breath hoping to calm my nerves
As I race toward my enemy

We're closing in, feeling it won't be too long
Will I survive?
Will we win the day?
Fight back the fear, knowing I must stay strong
When suddenly I can see them just ahead

Into battle in my bird of steel
Heart is racing as I turn and fire my guns
Hail of bullets flying through the air
Feel the joy as he goes down in flames

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Three more go down, victory close at hand
Bank to the right, getting behind another foe
Watch him explode, he never stood a chance
Never have I felt so much alive

Nearing the end, certain that we've won the day
Looking to see how many more still remain
Few that are left
Seem to be racing away
They're being chased
Hunters are now the prey

Suddenly I realize my mistake
I had not seen there was one more adversary
Did not notice him, now it's too late
He has managed to get right behind
Bullets tear into my bird of steel
Then I feel the heat as flames start to engulf me
Lose control my plane starts to go down
Scream in terror and in pain as I go down in flames
Down... in flames!
