The engines cry with a hollow tone,
I'm buckled in, but I'm skin and bone.
We lifted off from the frozen ground,
But nobody heard that phantom sound.
The captain's voice is a broken hymn,
No living hand is steering him.
We cut through clouds where the thunder rolls,
No radar beam can touch our souls.
(Chorus)
Ghost Flight six six six
Silent overhead,
No living eye can see the dead.
No tear is shed.
Ghost Flight six six six
Riding on the wind
I left my grave,
Where the earth begins.
The Rockies cut through the morning snow,
A river of ice where the cold winds blow.
I watch an eagle fall and rise,
With living wings and living eyes.
We circle the plot where my body lies,
I see my family with their saddened eyes.
They're planting me deep in the quiet ground,
But I'm drifting free where no chains are bound
(Chorus)
Ghost Flight six six six
Silent overhead
No living eye can see the dead
No tear is shed
Ghost Flight six six six
Riding on the wind
I left my grave,
Where the earth begins.
The horizon breaks with a painted flame,
The runway to heaven has no name.
No control tower, no final call,
Just mercy waiting to catch us all.
(Spoken words)
"I used to fear the end of ends,
Now I drift above the lives of men.
I whisper through the engine’s hiss,
Don't ever board a flight like this.
No turning back once you commit,
Don’t ever fly on six six six!"
(Chorus)
Ghost Flight six six six
Silent overhead,
No living eye can see the dead.
No tear is shed
Ghost Flight six six six
Riding on the wind,
I left my grave,
Where the earth begins
Ghost Flight six six six
Silent overhead,
No living eye can see the dead.
No tear is shed
Ghost Flight six six six
Riding on the wind,
I left my grave,
Where the earth begins
(Spoken words)
"All aboard! Final call!
Flight six six six!"
