PHANTOM FLIGHT

(Schwartz/Osegueda/Keen)



A hidden nightmare

Turned reality one day

Falling from the sky

The gods came out to play



Disguised by war machines

We could not see their face

A firestorm of death revealed

Contempt for the human race



Too advanced to fight

Though heaven knows we tried

Ten thousand flew

Into the stratosphere to die



Then they rose and took flight

Like birds of prey

They soared into the night

Who knew that men

Could fly so high

As the final phantom flight



The battle raged above

We watched with baited breath

A flaming ballet

To the rhythm of death



With a mad discovery

Dug from the Earth’s archives

The phantoms took a chance

And gambled with their lives



Blazing through their defenses

A raging onslaught

Ancient Earth technology

Cloaked heroes as they fought



We watched them rise and take flight

Heavenward they soared into the night

Who knew that men

Could fly so high

As the final phantom flight



Against all reason

Against the odds

We dared to stand

Against the gods



We tore down walls

So we could see

United by humanity
