I sweep the skies with fire and steel

My highway is the cloud

I swoop, I soar, aloft I wheel

My engine laughing loud

I fight with gleaming blades the wind

That dares dispute my path

I leave the howling storm behind

I ride upon it's wrath.

I fill their quaking hearts with fear

For death . . . is in my wings.
