Bound By Death's Ropes

Entangled through devotion
Spiritual supremacy
Mind over matter
Dedicated to lunacy

Recipients of hate
Raging furies above
Blackened avenging angels, dueling to the death

Blind panicky fear
Seized by primeval urges
Diving into the maelstrom of steel, fire and smoke
Flirting with death, the heavens seem to split

A titanic duel
A tremendous jolt
An ear-splitting crash
A stunning crescendo of a horrendous sound is filling the air

The sky is filled with a confused mass of bursting shells and twisted planes
High and low, they circle around
Sacrificial lambs to the gods of war

Steel cutting steel
Steel cutting flesh
Fire melting steel
Fire burning flesh
Pressure-cracked nerves
Stamina breaks down
Physical endurance is now at its end

A glorious ace or a fallen eagle
The black book decides victory or demise
