This song is about the first controlled airplane flight in history, which took place in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina in 1903.
Blood brothers of angels, now hear us
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us
God willing will rise up be near you
So open your arms now and take us
So we beleaving our dreams like the Icarus of old
The plans we made for the bold and the blue wide beyond
there's nowhere to hide, there's no going back now
As the wind wips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breezed went straight as an arrow
It begun over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the sky
We stand on this seashore and wonder
What madness, what secrets we plunder
Our failure we run from discovery
The wreckage of heaven lies on your sand
First chance is abandoned
With woodstring and wire we can barly control her
Desire for destinys arrow
What madness, what secrets we plunder
Our failure we run from discovery
The wreckage of heaven lies on your sand
First chance is abandoned
With woodstring and wire we can barly control her
Desire for destinys arrow
As the wind wips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breezed went straight as an arrow
It begun over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the sky
Wright Flyer
On December 17, 1903, the Wright Flyer achieved the first powered, controlled flight at Kill Devil Hill, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville Wright piloted the historic first run, staying airborne for 12 seconds and covering 120 feet. The brothers completed four total flights that morning, alternating control of the aircraft. The final and longest flight, piloted by Wilbur Wright, lasted 59 seconds and spanned 852 feet. This milestone permanently proved the viability of heavier-than-air aviation
