Aces High Lyrics

(Steve Harris)

There goes the siren 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.
Gathering speed as we head down the runway,
Gotta to get airborne before it`s too late.

Running, scrambling, flying,
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Running, scrambling, flying, Rolling, turning, diving,
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.
Won`t you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers,
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away.
Roll over, spin round to 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.
Rolling, turning, diving, Rolling, turning, diving,
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die.
Won`t you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!!!
