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
