It's snowing outside but rumbling sound
Of engines roar in the night
The mission is near, the confident men
Are waiting to drop from the skyThe blizzard goes on, but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dareBavarian Alps that lay all around
They seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed
Are lying deep in the snowInto the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dareThey're closing in, the fortress is near
It's standing high in the sky
The cable cars the only way in
It's really impossible to climbThey make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the dayThe panicking cries, the roaring of guns
Are echoing all round the valley
The mission complete, they make to escape
Away from the eagles nestThey dared to go, where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare
