Lyrics

Dambusters

[Verse 1]

Long before the twilight

The planes are standing by

Ground crew gather in the dusk

Low voices asking why

No one knows the target

The mission has begun

Flying into history

To drop the bouncing bomb

[Verse 2]

Start the mighty engines

Roaring into life

Turning to the airfield

Into the fading light

Gun the Merlin engines

Up to take off speed

The Lancaster is lifting

They pray they will succeed

[Chorus]

Dambusters

Squadron of the brave

Dambusters

The sacrifice you made

[Post-Chorus]

The sacrifice you made

[Verse 3]

Flying low across the night

The British bombers flew

On the deadly secret raid

Hoping no one knew

Target looms, the planes attack

Into the mouth of Hell

Hold her steady, release the bomb

Only time will tell

[Chorus]

Dambusters

Squadron of the brave

Dambusters

The sacrifice you made

Dambusters

Squadron of the brave

Dambusters

The sacrifice you made
