There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
There comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Run
Live to fly
Fly to live
Do or die
Won't you run
Live to fly
Fly to live
Aces high
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin 'round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at eight o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run
Live to fly
Fly to live
Do or die
Won't you run
Live to fly
Fly to live
Aces high

[@Cyannah117]

Not just metal…Tommy can kill any genre! ❤

[@Soulmayers]

Tommy, hear me well, For I have a tale to tell, Of music that stirs the soul, And lifts us to heights untold. Your voice, a weapon of sound, Echoes through the air and around, With power that shakes the ground, And leaves all who hear spellbound. And Fear of the Dark, your cover's great, It fills us with a fiery state, Of passion and energy that's innate, And makes us believe in fate. And Aces High, oh what a sight, It soars through the skies like a knight, With glory and honor, a pure delight, A masterpiece that's pure and bright. Tommy, keep singing with all your might, For your music brings us light, And though the world may not be right, With you we can conquer any fight.

One of my absolute favorite Maiden songs.... and at the speed it schuld have been from the beginning!!

[@Robert_Momesso]

I lived to see and hear this music with your voice. My favorite band, my favorite Iron Maiden song and my favorite vocalists, Kiske and Bruce sung by your voice. Thanks for everything you do Tommy. You are one sent by God to fill our voids with all your work. Eternal greetings..

[@tested211]

Woah! Killer performance mate!

[@ned1621]

Im a fan of Maiden since 85 a long time, this is the best cover of this song ive ever seen. And Bruce is easily equalled here, and there are notes Bruce could never reach Amazing Tommy.

[@susanvandenbergh5226]

Only discovered you this morning. With You raise me up. Started listening, and still listening, hours later. Wow! Whát talent! You amaze me! Love how your personality shows through your songs. Fantastic to watch a person in his element, doing what he loves best. You are so gifted! Voice, musician, artist, looks, creative, energetic! One man Queen band.👍Love every song! You bless this 60's child! Thank you! Wow!

[@frankk8018]

I've been a Maden fan since the beginning. I have seen Maden in concert 3 times. This version left me virtually with my mouth open, jaw dropped.

[@redfenix77]

Holy shit, there's no limit to his talent.

[@Gl4diuS]

Man I can now rest in peace.....I was waiting for so long for someone to sing this song as it should be sang....I mean with all due respect to Bruce Dickinson who gave us such amazing songs....but he could never achieve such high vocals for his songs....it was always forced. But Tommy's voice fits perfectly....I can easily say...his is the true voice of Iron Maiden. Congrats man :)...and thank you listening to you in this song is like finding pieces of the big puzzle that just completed one big masterpiece.

[@Wyld92]

This is hands down the BEST cover ive ever heard of this song. I can't stop watching!

Hi Tommy and All you guys in SABATON This is my only way to say THANK YOU for an incredibly great evening, yesterday in Copenhagen, Royal Arena ❤❤❤ What an amazing experience to see, hear an feel those emotions from your songs. Fantastic tight musicianship, and a great sence of humor (especially the picks on Joakims forehead😂😂) All in all, my deepest and cincerest respect for what you do, the history behind your songs. If we teach our children about history, like this, they would never fall asleep, due to boredom😅😅 Thanks again from an oldtimer here in little Denmark 🇩🇰🥰🇩🇰

[@dimitriskavadias6360]

Brilliance and awesomeness overload right here! Man, you took an already classic 80s heavy metal anthem and elevated it to a whole new level of epicness! How is that even possible I really don't know. I just can't understand it! All I know for sure is that you delivered yet another hall of fame worthy performance! No guestions asked, no holds barred, hands down this is the best cover I have ever heard of this song and it stands proudly alongside the original! At least for me! I mean the energy, the passion, the raw power in your voice... second to none, dude! And that finish was just the icing on the cake! Holy f@#$, man! That style singing suits you perfectly!!!! I know I've said it numerous times before, but I will say it again: I think Geoff Tate most definitely should be next. "Take hold of the flame" or "Walk in the shadows" or whatever, man. I really think tou should give it a shot. I"m sure the result will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥Anyways, keep blowing our minds away, bro! Have a great Weekend!.. 😉🤘🤟

I remember buying Powerslave on cd and hearing this for the first time thinking that this was one of the best Maiden songs ever recorded. I saw them when they went on tour promoting the cd. It was better than the recording. This is how this rendition makes me feel. Like the first time hearing this amazing song. it was incredible. Thank you. Take care Tommy and, as always, God bless🙏🙏🙏
