Countdown to zero, ignition
Warning
Rising in smoke, glowing fire

Thrusting into the sky of the morning
Warning
All system down

Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!

In search of the glory
They reach for the stars
With honor and courage
They die!

Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!

Thunderous roar of the engine
Screaming
They fill the sky, burn trails

Down through the clouds falling faster
Disaster
Taking their lives

Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!
Mayday!
