(Verse 1)
In the belly of the beast, I’m strapped in tight,
Atlas 15, we’re flying through the sky like a soaring kite.
The radio crackles, another bomber falls,
A flash, a scream, then nothing at all.
I tighten my grip on the gun I hold,
Praying this steel beast stays strong and bold.
(Chorus)
We’re hit! The alarms scream loud,
Hull's breaching, smoke’s rising like a shroud.
The pilot’s voice cracks, says “hold it steady,”
But I feel the weight, the craft’s getting heavy.
Casualties in the flight, I hear the cries,
Another hit, the lights dim in our eyes.
I fire back, lighting them all up,
But I’m wondering if we’ll make it through this without getting blown up.
(Verse 2)
Through the shrapnal and the flak, we carry on,
The mission’s clear, but the lines are gone.
The target’s close, I see the strike,
We hit the mark, we’re still in the fight.
We’re torn, we’re broken, but here we are,
Atlas 15, we’ve come this far.
(Chorus)
We’re hit! The alarms scream loud,
Hull's breaching, smoke’s rising like a shroud.
The pilot’s voice cracks, says “hold it steady,”
But I feel the weight, the craft’s getting heavy.
Casualties in the flight, I hear the cries,
Another hit, the lights dim in our eyes.
I fire back, lighting them all up,
But I’m wondering if we’ll make it through this without getting blown up.
(Bridge)
As we turned to head back to base.
Atlas lagged behind as the wolves chased.
Here they come! The pilot yelled.
Grab your packs, its time we bailed!
(Chorus)
We’re hit! The alarms scream loud,
Hull's breaching, smoke’s rising like a shroud.
The pilot’s voice cracks, says “jump like a dart,”
And I feel the weight, the craft’s coming apart.
Casualties in the flight, fall through the sky,
Atlas spirals downward waving its last goodbye.
Im no longer wondering if we’ll make it through this without getting blown up.
Im no longer wondering if we’ll make it through this without getting blown up.
