Machines made for killing at mach speed and more

Sleek in design and loaded for war

Sidewinding missiles, heat-seeks and sparrows

Strafing squadrons cause havoc and terror



Winged Assassins - Seek their prey



Camouflage colours impair observation

Insignia painted depicting its nation

Defying detection at low altitude

Penetrate, attack, evade and elude



Soaring death - Taking lives

No escape - Widows weep



Winged Assassins - Seek their prey



Radar is sweeping and scanning the skies

Searching out targets with infrared eyes

Enemy forces appear on the screen

Computers lock in, all systems are green



Formation - Orders, permission to arm

Closing in - To make the kill



Trigger in hand, blood lust in his heart

The pilot is ready to play out his part

Underwing stores await a demand

Releasing the arsenal upon his command



Soaring death - Taking lives

No escape - Widows weep



Permission is given to unleash the power

Rockets home in, strike and devour

Wreckage falls helpless rolling in flames

Another life wasted in some general's games



Task complete - Honours awaiting heroes

Painted scrap - Awarding murder



Winged Assassins - Seek their prey
