Amelia - Excalion

Welcoming the new century when hopes were soaring high

Came along a child with starry eyes the color of the sky

A few years more and the drums of war were thundering away

And a pair of eyes cast in the sky saw wherein lay the way

There was a place to be for her who had no care

Other than finally to be lighter than the air

Come now, hear the engine sing

And winds on the windshield cry

The aerodrome grew angels wings

A shot went through the sky

Ever upward, heavenward

To heights that will twist the mind

Hardly before known to man

Let alone to her kind

From all the corners of the world, the wings they carried far

From the heights you finally realize we’re not so far apart

For all the world, down on the ground we live and there we die

Who was never meant to walk on earth one day returns to sky

She kept the course until the signal died away

Up there where eyes cannot see lies aviator’s grave

Come now, hear the engine sing

And winds on the windshield cry

The aerodrome grew angel’s wings

A shot went through the sky

Ever upward, heavenward

To heights that will twist the mind

Hardly before known to man

Let alone to her kind
