Lethal Ballet Songtext
von Stormland

The illusory silence
Of motors humming
Electronics buzzing
A wash of white noise
The stand-by tension
Ratchets up with each second′s tick
Muscles twitching in anticipation
Of the take-off announcement

In a flash
The catapult sets me free
To battle
To survive another day
Time expands
As I dance between the beams
I shoot to kill
In this lethal ballet


I'm losing track
Of the space between
A minute? A month?
It′s all losing meaning

The only thing
That matters now
When will I hear that familiar sound?
Everything else?
It's just the space between
Until I'm combat-bound

In a flash
The catapult sets me free
To battle
To survive another day
Time expands
As I dance between the beams
I shoot to kill
In this lethal ballet


Again I find myself
Anxious in my seat
I′ve long since lost count
Of the number of sorties
I watch the units ahead
Launch into the fray
My hands tap nervously
As I move up the chain

I move my machine
Onto the catapult
Waiting for the signal
The lights turn green
The command goes out
I burst forth into battle

In a flash
The catapult sets me free
To battle
To survive another day
Time expands
As I dance between the beams
I shoot to kill
In this lethal ballet
In a flash
The catapult sets me free
To battle
To survive another day
Time expands
As I dance between the beams
I shoot to kill
In this lethal ballet
