Lyrics for Song: Intro: Churchill Speech / Aces High (Live)
Lyrics for Album: Live After Death [1985]
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 airborn
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 speep as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let of 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-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.

Intro: Churchill Speech / Aces High (Live)
This live recording captures Iron Maiden's electrifying performance of 'Aces High,' a track that blends the band's signature heavy metal sound with a dramatic spoken-word introduction. The piece features a vocal delivery by Bruce Dickinson that mimics Winston Churchill's wartime rhetoric, setting a tense and heroic tone before the band launches into their signature riff. Recorded during the 'Live After Death' sessions, the track exemplifies the band's ability to integrate theatrical elements with traditional power metal. It remains a staple of their live repertoire, showcasing the dynamic interplay between Dickinson's storytelling and the band's driving instrumentation. The song has become an iconic representation of Maiden's theatrical approach to heavy metal, often performed at major festivals and concerts worldwide. |
