A young soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
Remembers the words, 'Thou shalt not kill'
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly?
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
If it all was worth it, only time it will tell
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly?
May God give you strength, do your job real well
In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
