Lyrics
Sitting on the runway waiting for the rush
Sitting on the runway anticipating the excitement
Talking to the band but no one's saying much
Conversing with the band, but there's a tense silence
Flying out of Monza playing for the gods
Departing from Monza, performing for a higher power
Heading out to Deutschland we've got to beat the odds
Heading to Germany, facing challenges that must be overcome
We were flying on the edge
Engaging in risky behavior
Running out of time
Running out of time, feeling pressured
Flying on the edge
Continuing to take risks
Standing on the line
Standing on the edge of safety
We were flying on the edge
Persisting in the risky behavior
You've got to let us go
Requesting permission to continue the risky venture
Flying on the edge
Continuing the risky journey
We've got to make the show
Must reach the scheduled performance
Waiting in the thunder, lighting and the rain
Waiting amidst adverse weather conditions
We ain't going nowhere we need a bigger plane
Facing challenges, needing a larger aircraft
Jensen phoned the airline booked another flight
Band manager arranging an alternative flight
We could make a concert if they timed it right
Hoping to make the concert if timing works out
And the rain came down
Encountering heavy rain
Thunderstruck and lightning all around
Experiencing intense thunder and lightning
And we flew on through
Persisting through the adverse conditions
Glad to get our feet back on the ground
Relieved to land safely
Touching down in Dortmund driving hard and fast
Arriving in Dortmund, facing time constraints
The night was closing in are we gonna last
Nightfall approaching, uncertainty about the outcome
we made it to the backstage with seconds left to spare
Making it backstage just in time
Rocking hard and crazy metal filled the air
Performing energetically, with the atmosphere filled with metal music
We were flying on the edge
Continuing the risky behavior
Running out of time
Facing time pressure
Flying on the edge
Persisting in the risky behavior
Standing on the line
Remaining on the edge of safety
We were flying on the edge
Continuing the risky venture
You've got to let us go
Seeking permission to persist in the risky journey
Flying on the edge
Continuing the risky behavior
We've got to make the show
Must reach the scheduled performance
