[Verse 1]
From down below an enemy spotted
So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
See wounded men, scared to their bone
[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 harms way
[Pre-Chorus]
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Chorus]
Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
[Verse 3]
He risked his life two times that day
To save an unknown enemy
Escort to safety, out of the killzone
A short salute, then departed
[Pre-Chorus]
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Chorus]
Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
[Chorus]
Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved 9
