Bruce Dickinson - Kill Devil Hill lyrics

Kill Devil Hill

Blood brothers of angels now hear us,

We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us

God willing, we'll rise up, be near you

So open your arms now, and take us

So we're breathing our dreams, like the Icarus of old

The plans we made for the bold

In the blue-eyed beyond, there's nowhere to hide

There's no going back now

[chorus:]

As the wind whips over the hillside

20 knots over Kill Devil Hill

Steady wind blows over the sand

20 knots over Kill Devil Hill

As the breeze whips straight as an arrow

Let her go over Kill Devil Hill

Gasoline and wind in the wires

Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars

We stand on this seashore and wonder

What madness, what secrets we plunder

All failure we learn from, discovery

The wreckage of heaven lies on the sand

First chance is abandoned

With wood string and wire we can barely control our desire

For destiny's arrows...

[chorus:]

As the wind whips over the hillside

20 knots over Kill Devil Hill

Steady wind blows over the sand

20 knots over Kill Devil Hill

As the breeze whips straight as an arrow

Let her go over Kill Devil Hill

Gasoline and wind in the wires

Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars

[instrumental part]

(Where are those secrets, holding our dreams?)

(Where are those secrets, holding our dreams?)

(Where are those secrets, holding our dreams?)

(Where are those secrets, holding our dreams?)
