aces high

“(…)we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender (…)”

Sir Winston Churchill, Parlamento Britânico, 4 de Junho de 1940

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
Got 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 are moving 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…

(Steve Harris)

Linda música. Parabéns ao Aéreo.

Ótimo clip. Pena que as cenas de combate aéreo são poucas e rápidas.
A título de curiosidade, o vocalista do grupo – Bruce Dickinson – também é piloto de linha aérea (voa em um B 777) e apresenta um programa no History Channel chamado Heavy Metal no Ar.
O cara é realmente apaixonado por aviões e por aviação.

Ah, só pra constar: adoro “Aces High”, mas a melhor música do “Powerslave” é “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” 🙂
