Dickinson, Bruce - Silver Wings Lyrics






Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany, but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before

Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below

[Chorus:]
Tonight, on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
Flying where no angels fly

I have brought these engines to the very jaws of hell
Melat hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead

Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can't shake this one off tonight

[Chorus]

The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces soon the wing is going to go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive

I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly

[Chorus]

on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
I can touch the face of God

Dickinson, Bruce Silver Wings Comments
  1. m.... w....

    well fck yes mate, whats tht u have adrian and roy making a new solo well hell yes..........

  2. T.... �....

    Great little song about my father being bombed when he was 4 years old.

  3. M.... ....

    Better than the last 3 Maiden studio albums combined.

    M.... ....

    lol...sales mean shit. Some of the best Metal ever recorded is also some of the most obscure.

    M.... ....

    @MetalSalvation i have the chemical wedding..its a snoozfest. Plus maiden fans bought dickinson's albums. So in this case it matters. Also notice the song has a Steve Harris style bass line to make it appealing. So yeay..I prefer the Talisman or Greater Good of God to this simple catchy tune.

    M.... ....

    Brave New World & Dance Of Death were good albums, especially Brave, but the last two were crap to me and it's sad because they're my favorite band. If the next CD isn't better than the last two then I might not buy it, which will be a first for me.

    M.... ....

    @MetalSalvation BOS is awesome except for last two tracks. Shadows of the Valley is the best song IMO . the songs are more cerebral and should be viewed as such. I don't get people who still yearn for a 4 minute gallope with a catchy chorus. I have time an attention span. Listen to the closing section of the title track. Vintage maiden. Up the irons man!

  4. g.... l....

    awesome, love it

  5. T.... D....

    I miss Dickinson singing like that 😥

  6. g.... l....

    awesome stuff

  7. H.... T....

    ... \m/

  8. R.... G....

    Wtf cant MAIDIEN play like THIS??

    R.... G....

    I know...it's tragic how they've changed.

  9. m.... 1....

    Potencia brutal yeaaaaaaaah...

  10. M.... ....

    Complete WW 2 story in 4:15! As only Bruce Dickinson / Iron Maiden can do! Up the irons !!!

  11. m.... g....

    Bruce......emperor of the clouds

  12. l.... �....

    Aces high of Bruces solo carrier

  13. C.... G....

    Aces High is a ballad compared to this masterpiece.

  14. D.... R....

    This is why Bruce is a Metal /Rock God! Fuckin CLASSIC thanks for sharing! Up The Irons you Bitches! !! Gonna be a Legend that doesn't die but gets Bigger through the years!

  15. A.... D....

    This is the great Bruce at his best. Fantastic song!!!

  16. M.... G....

    I love Bruce Dickinson songs
    Iron Maiden

  17. D.... ....

    SO. GOOD.

  18. A.... ....

    This song should have been on Brave New World.

  19. C.... 6....

    The cover states that Bruce takes the occult very seriously. This isn't just tossed out there for shock value or to be "hip".

  20. S.... K....

    Onaj Husein ima lijepu praunuku.Divna je

  21. S.... K....

    Lijep Penta...

  22. m.... ....

    This song is fucking great

  23. R.... r....

    awesome song bruce is great

  24. R.... H....

    Anyone know who plays the solo in this song? I'm guessing it's got to be either Roy Z or Adrian Smith. It is one of my all-time favorite solos.

    R.... H....

    Ryan Harris i thing it's Adrian because i heard his voice in vocals.

    R.... H....

    Roy played all guitars and bass on this song and Broken.

    R.... H....

    the solo is too technical and shreddy for adrian's style, but i might be wrong

  25. F.... A....

    Este tema estaba pintado para Iron Maiden! tal vez, en esta dirección debería apuntar Maiden para su próximo disco!

  26. z.... B....

    con Bruce Dickinson llegaré fuera de mi fósil

  27. A.... F....

    que buena música para mis oídos .
    grande Bruce Dickinson.

    D.... J....

    Darko Jakovljevic Growing number of people want to get over WW2 and get tired of this hatred against Germany. It may not always be the reason for thumbing it down though. And there are documentaries out there that tell untold stories or other reasons for what happened in WW2.

  46. F.... ....

    Great music is to be listened, not to count the views of a song on youtube, it doesn't mean anything... and besides that, Bruce has many many songs that are much better than this. Still a good song anyway

  47. R.... R....

    Hooray!!!!

  70. T.... ....

    @Zeckenschmidt Dunno but maybe some sell there souls to make music others just did well because they were good.Bruce must be of the latter and us have the rare free will that most don't possess to end up listening to it.Wait a sec what i said was madness.A soul?Whats that.Free will?I must be lying to myself.Ignore rant.9k views no one gonna see it anyway.
