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 sky      The blizzard goes on, but still they must fly   No one should go where eagles dare      Bavarian Alps that lay all around   They seem to stare from below   The enemy lines a long time passed   Are lying deep in the snow      Into the night they fall through the sky   No one should fly where eagles dare      They'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 climb      They make their way but maybe too late   They've got to try to save the day      The panicking cries, the roaring of guns   Are echoing all round the valley   The mission complete, they make to escape   Away from the eagles nest      They dared to go, where no one would try   They chose to fly where eagles dare
