Commander of the 618th

[Verse] In the heart of the battle The sky so alive Wedge Tail and Warhawk Courage running high As the sunset fades The mission's in sight One against the many Ready to take flight [Verse] Through the clouds we soar With thunderous might Slicing through the chaos In the heat of the fight Bullets fly around us Danger at every turn We stand as one Our spirits never will burn [Verse] Against the odds We defy gravity's hold With valor and honor Our wings unfold United we stand Our resolve never bends Wedge Tail and Warhawk The best of friends [Verse] In the wild blue yonder Where the eagles dare to soar Flies Wedge tail A fearless leader whom they all adore With fiery passion burning in his heart of steel A squadron commander A hero so unreal [Verse 2] Warhawk and the squadron They look up to the sky Watching Wedge tail As he spreads his wings and flies He leads them with courage Honor etched upon his face Through battles fought together They conquer every place [Chorus] On wings of valor They take to the air With hearts afire They'll face any dare United they stand Side by side they fight Together they honor Wedge tail's glorious flight Long rest in peace... [Verse 3] United they stand Side by side they fight Together they honor Wedge tail's glorious flight Long rest in peace... [Verse] In the clouds He soared high A commander brave and strong Guiding us through stormy skies Where we didn't belong With wings of golden steel He led us on our way Now we gather 'round and pray For our hero has passed away [Verse 2] His spirit soared higher than the mountains we flew by Never afraid Never deterred He reached for the sky But the great unknown It called his name And he had to go Leaving us behind With the memories of his show [Chorus] Oh Wedge Tail You were the king of the sky You made us believe we could fly Oh so high Now you've taken your final flight Way up above But your wings of courage They'll forever fill our hearts with love Wedge Tail You were the king of the sky You made us believe we could fly Oh so high Now you've taken your final flight Way up above But your wings of courage They'll forever fill our hearts with love [Verse 2] We've lost our leader Our guiding light It's true But we won't falter We'll honor and pursue With every step we take We soar higher and higher In the spirit of our commander Fueled by his fire [Chorus] We'll spread our wings of valor In his memory we'll fight Carrying his legacy Soaring to new heights Though the pain is real We won't lose sight We'll keep on fighting Guided by his light [fadeout] [end]
