Aces High -- Iron Maiden


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, fire Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Running, scrambling, fire, 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!           (sing365)
       

it is usually preceded by Winston Churchill's famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech with the sound of planes in the background.
This song describes an air battle from the viewpoint of a flying ace. The lyrics and fast-paced style have made the song commonly associated with war, and it appeared in the 1986 filmIncident at Channel Q, about a war between headbangers and conservative "straight people".         (wikipedia)
