Rotors spin as she’s running for the bell She was a fearless pilot with a heart of gold I never really knew her all that well She had one more flight and she was headed home
Sprinting hard ’cause there were lives to save He was a young marine with an iron cross tattoo A little cocky, righteous, strong and brave The co-pilot, Morphine 1-2
And my head knows but my heart can’t see And it’s not like it should’ve been me But I wish I had been there on that day Even now, I’d take their place
Seven souls took off on that flight It was a desert blood drop in the light of day A few more seconds could’ve saved their lives But the story wasn’t gonna end that way
And my head knows but my heart can’t see And it’s not like it should’ve been me But I wish I had been there on that day Even now, I’d take their place
Seven stars shine down on me now Lights that burn in everything I do Till we meet again someday, somehow Semper Fi, Morphine 1-2
And my head knows but my heart can’t see And it’s not like it should’ve been me Still I wish that I’d been there on that day Even now, I’d take their place
