    Aces High - Iron Maiden

    A quattro giorni dal settantesimo anniversario dello scoppio della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, ho scelto di commemorare l'evento con questa stupenda canzone degli Iron Maiden, che ricorda la Battaglia d'Inghilterra e lo strenuo combattimento della R.A.F. contro la Luftwaffe.


       



    Dal discorso di Winston Churchill del 4 giugno 1940:

    « We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas
    and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
    we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches,
    we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
    we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender

    There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
    Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
    Out for the scramble weve got to get airborne
    Got to get up for the coming attack.

    Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
    Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
    Gathering speed as we head down the runway
    Gotta get airborne before its too late.

    Running, scrambling, flying
    Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
    Running, scrambling, flying
    Rolling, turning, diving
    Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die (want you)
    Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high.

    Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
    Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
    Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
    Move to their blindsides and firing again.

    Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
    Ten me-109s out of the sun
    Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
    Heading straight for them I press down my guns

    Running, scrambling, flying
    Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
    Running, scrambling, flying
    Rolling, turning, diving
    Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die (want you)
    Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high.

    Tratta dall'album "Powerslave", 1984
