Black Hawk

 Clash with Death 


In the azure skies, I climb, I soar,

My helicopter, rotors roar,

Through clouds and dreams, it flies so high,

The enemy's plans, I couldn't defy.


A missile fired, messenger of Doom,

I’m hit, I’m hit, fire and smoke plume,

A sudden twist, a tragic clash,

A dance with destiny, a deadly dash.

My wings falter at gravity's breath,

In that moment, a dance with death.


Amongst the stars, my soul departs,

Leaving behind shattered hearts,

Memories linger, tears they shed,

In the wreckage of dreams, hope now fled.


I remain an Eagle in the skies I braved,

My courage, and the lives I saved,

In solemn honor, I shall always keep,

The memory of my crew, in valor they sleep.
