It's snowing outside, the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night
The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky
The blizzard goes on, but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare
Bavarian Alps that lay all around, they seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed, are lying deep in the snow
Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare

They're closing in, the fortress is near, it's standing high in the sky
The cable car's the only way in, it's real impossible to climb
They make their way, but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day
The panicking cries, the roaring of guns are echoing all around the valley
The mission complete, they make to escape away from the eagles nest
They dared to go where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare

    Inspired by one of my dad's favorite movies. The title should be self evident.
