Dambusters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long before the twilight
The planes are standing by
Ground crew gather in the dusk
Low voices asking why
No one knows the target
The mission has begun
Flying into history
To drop the bouncing bomb
Start the mighty engines
Roaring into life
Turning to the airfield
Into the fading light
Gun the [?] engines
Up to take of speed
The Lancaster is lifting
They pray they will succeed
Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made
The sacrifice you made
Flying low across the night
The British bombers flew
On the deadly secret raid
Hoping no one knew
Target looms the planes attack
Into the mouth of hell
Hold her steady, release the bomb
Only time will tell
Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made
Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made
