Track Lyrics
Aces High Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
[Chorus]
Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly
Fly to live, aces high
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round to 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, doing it again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
[Chorus]
Run, live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly
Fly to live, aces high

One... two, three!
One, two, three!

The Duellists Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He threw down a glove, you made the mistake
Of picking it up, now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance
[Chorus]
Oh, oh... Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for the pleasure
Oh, oh... Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for your life!
[Verse 2]
Ready to start, the duel begins
The best man wins in the end
A lunge and a feint, a parry too late
A cut to the chest, and you're down
Seeing the stain, then feeling the pain
Feeling the sweat on your brow
[Chorus]
Oh, oh... Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for the pleasure
Oh, oh... Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for your life!
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The fighting resumes, a silence looms
The swordsmen move 'gainst each other
A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow
A stab to the heart, and you're down
The Angel of Death hears your last breath
Meanwhile, the reaper looks on
[Chorus]
Oh, oh... Fought for the honour
Fought for the splendour
Fought for the pleasure
Oh, oh... Fought for the honour
Fought for the splendour
Fought to the death
