|
Take the children |
|
March them off to war |
|
Only numbered |
|
To count down the final score |
|
Lay in waiting |
|
For the end to come |
|
And their only chance |
|
Is loaded in their gun |
|
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls |
|
In battle daybreak |
|
The field is grey and bare |
|
They feel the presence |
|
Of death that's in the air |
|
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls |
|
Take the children |
|
March them off to war |
|
Only numbered |
|
To count down the final score |
|
In the trenches |
|
A battle to begin |
|
And they're waiting |
|
To ride the wings again |
|
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny |
|
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls |
|
Riding on the wings |
|
Riding on the wings |
|
Riding on the wings |
|
Oh, of destiny |
