Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From down below, one enemy spotted
So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber's damaged air frame
See wounded men scattered and burned
[Verse 2]
Look to the right and then look again
And see the enemy in the eye
No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
Escorted out, out of harm's way
[Verse 3]
'Fly, fighting fair'
It's the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Verse 4]
Killing machine
Honor in the sky
B-17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved
[Verse 5]
He risked his life 2 times that day
To save an unknown enemy
Escort to safety, out of the kill zone
A short salute, then departed
[Verse 6]
'Fly, fighting fair'
It's the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Verse 7]
Killing machine
Honor in the sky
B-17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved
[Verse 8]
'Fly, fighting fair'
It's the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Verse 9]
Killing machine
Honor in the sky
B-17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved
