bombardier - lo! (australia) lyrics

they came just after dark – shortly after the sirens wailed you could hear the planes grinding overhead – in my room, with its black curtains drawn across the windows – you could feel the shake from the guns – the motors seemed to grind rather than roar – and to have an angry pulsation – like a bee buzzing in blind fury – as we stepped out onto the balcony a vast inner excitement came over all of us – an excitement that had neither fear nor horror in it – because it was too full of awe – the whole horizon of a city lined with great fires – scores of them – perhaps hundreds – there was something inspiring just in the awful savagery of it – into the dark shadowed sp-ces below us – while we watched – whole batches of incendiary bombs fell – then quickly simmered down to pin points of dazzling white – burning ferociously – all around below were the shadows – the dark shadows of buildings and bridges that formed the base of this dreadful masterpiece – these things all went together to make the most hateful – most beautiful single scene i have ever known – (correspondence of the london blitz by ernie pyle)
