These steel wings under my direction,
This flying fortress,
Styled in camouflage sheen,
They once meant freedom to me,
Symbols of our fight against fascism,
But after that night,
That mission,
When I saw those fiery roses emerge,
Streets erupting in hellfire,
Becoming flowerbeds of sulphur and rubble,
I could almost hear screams over the turbines,
Hundreds of little ants amidst the blaze,
I felt that we became world-enders that night,
Warmongers rather than liberators,
We won that war,
But when those souls look up,
They will see us in the clouds,
And feel fear,
Not freedom.
