Echoes of their daring air.
Guardians of the free and fair.
In the blue where eagles fly,
Their sacrifice, we remember,
With courage that will never fade,
When the clouds of war did loom,
Their courage stands, enduring still.
With valour and might, you gave it your all.
And let the songs of praise be heard.
Their legacy in history laid.
In the heart of Britain's darkest hour,
A grateful land, forever more,
So let the banners wave on high,
Their spirit lives, it won't depart.
For never in history, such courage did ensue,
They held the line, they won the war.
Guided by a nation's desire,
They faced the storm, they touched the sky,
Salutes the airmen, who fought before.
Up they soared, into the fire,
Brave and bold, their story told.
Through the flak and roaring thunder,
So much owed by so many, to so few.
We'll ne'er forget their noble word.
Defenders of our land and home.
With eternal thanks, our hearts renew.
Wings of steel, hearts of gold.
Young men rose with steadfast power,
From the cliffs of Dover to London's heart,
Oh, Heroes in the skies, you answered the call,
For those who soared into the sky,
Churchill's words forever true,
In every field and rolling hill,
So much owed by so many, to so few.
From Spitfires' wings to Hurricane's roar,
Oh, Heroes in the skies, we remember you,
