"Sky Pilot"
(Burdon / Briggs / Weider / Jenkins / McCulloch)
Intro (acapella):
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
They smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted, he's a good holy man

Chorus:
Sky... pilot
Sky... pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
Verse 1:
He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming flight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Chorus:
Sky... pilot
Sky... pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
Verse 2:
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he stay'll behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
Verse 3:
And the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Chorus:
Sky... pilot
Sky... pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
Interlude:

3:10 sound effects enter
3:56 bagpipes enter, guitars fade
5:01 bagpipes and effects fade; acoustic guitar and bass enter
Eb [4X; strings enter 3rd time]

Verse 4:
You're soldiers of God, you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength, do your job real well
If it all was worth it, only time it will tell
Verse 5:
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words, "Thou shalt not kill"
Chorus:
Sky... pilot
Sky... pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
Sky... pilot
Sky... pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky...
