"But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life."
Warnings of an air strike
The sirens scream out loud
Warnings on the radio
Of what is coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from over seas
Planes on the horizon
Casts shadows on the ground
Bringers of destruction
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon with
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling
AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run for cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Death from above
Carpet bombing cities
And grinding them to dust
Abel men and women
Will all be victims
Everyone will suffer
The wake of their attack
Bombers show no mercy
A land in ruin
Homes have turned to rubble
When the airstrike has been approved
Facing their destruction
Fear the black wings of death
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Nothing remains
Cities ruined
Turned to dust
All has been lost
Rise from the ashes
and strike
AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run for cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Death from above
The sirens scream out loud
Warnings on the radio
Of what is coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from over seas
Planes on the horizon
Casts shadows on the ground
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon with
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling
As the sky is turning red
Better run for cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn

It is about the bombings in WWII, more specifically the firebombings of major German cities such as that of Dresden.
Nothing specific, but i think it's about the bombing raids in WW2, mostly between Germany and the UK.
Hmmm... the way the vocalist says the line "be quick or be dead" reminds me of the Iron Maiden song. Given their propensity to reference other metal songs/bands in songs like Metal Crue and Metal Machine, I wonder if this is deliberate?
