Vexilla regis prodeunt inferni!

"ROLL THE DICE!"

C-130 rolling down the strip
Airborne daddy on a one-way trip
Mission top secret, destination unknown
We don't even know if we're ever going home
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
It my main don't open wide
I've got a reserve by my side
If that one should fail me too
I'll hit the ground before you do
If I die on that old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my metals upon my chest
Tell my momma I did my best.

Well, I don't know but I've been told
Those Navy wings are made of gold.
I don't know but it's been said
That Air Force wings are made of lead!
