Lyrics

A Beautiful War

It's a beautiful day

To see my prey

It's a beautiful day

For a daring raid

I can see my prey from afar

So I open the hatch

And I drop the first batch

It's a shame I'll miss the blaze

But I'll see the film within days

And I'll get to see the replay

Of my beautiful day

Re-live my day

My beautiful day

Re-live my beautiful day

My beautiful day

When I open the hatch

And I drop the first batch

How they got no time to flee

Total success

We'll all be free

We'll all be free

We'll all be free

We'll all be free

We'll all be free

What a beautiful day

Just a beautiful day

Just a beautiful day

Just a beautiful day
