22 hundredweights of bombs on board
Hidden in the blackness of night
Target: the station near Revigny
That's where the main troop transfer point lies
A roaring shadow flies through the night
Just before the target we dive
3000, 2000, ready to drop
3000, 2000, ready to drop
3000, 2000, ready to drop
3000, 2000, ready to drop
The attack totally successful
They've got us in their sights
Hot tongues of flame in my face
The left engine starts to burn
To smother the fire at the start
I try to cut the fuel
Toward the front, we'll land safely there!
But the stabilizers break
We plunge into the dark depth
So we don't smash on the field
I try to land on the forest
Fate isn't with us
Straight down onto the field we go
A sudden grave for the lieutenant
The impact snapped his neck
He lies there stiff and lifeless
That's how it ended for good Fritz
