Tailgunner
Iron Maiden
No Prayer For The Dying (1990)

Trace your way back 50 years
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above my cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah!
Who shot who, and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home.


Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner


Nail that Fokker, kill that son,
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun,
The weather forecasts good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more!
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tail Gunner’s gone,
No more Bombers (just one big bomb)


Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why - Tail Gunner
You’re the Tail Gunner
