Take the children March them off to war Only numbered To count down the final score
Lay in waiting For the end to come And their only chance Is loaded in their gun
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls
In battle daybreak The field is grey and bare They feel the presence Of death that's in the air
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls
Take the children March them off to war Only numbered To count down the final score
In the trenches A battle to begin And they're waiting To ride the wings again
They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls
Riding on the wings Riding on the wings Riding on the wings Oh, of destiny
