[Verse 1]
Minds of men fashioned this crate of thunder
And sent it high into the blue
Hands of men will blast this world asunder
As we will swoop upon you
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar
So off we go into the wild blue yonder
To heaven's very door

[Chorus]
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)

[Verse 2]
Climbing high into the clouds above us
In bombers named for girls
To drink the air, breathe the light, and guard our lovers
Into the sun we swirl
And far below our rivals wait and peer
For what our coming brings
We dare assault the sky and we fill their hearts with fear
For death is in our wings

[Chorus]
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
[Verse 3]
We cut up the winds, envy no man below
For down we dive spouting flame
And up between God's billowed legs we roll
To feel the lust swell within
With gleaming blades slicing up the sun
We wheel and we glide
Dancing with clouds aloft we spin
Into the warmth inside (Inside)

[Chorus]
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)

[Verse 4]
My love, better get on your knees
And care and pray for each and every one
When you hear us pass in our delicate beasts
Steel your heart and say: "Your will be done"

[Chorus]
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel
Fliegen wie Vögel (Vögeln wie Flieger)
Fliegen wie Vögel
