Time [bad word] out for all on board
Soaring up through the shadows of night.
High above the clouds the engines roared
This would be their final flight.

 [bad word] have shot down a plane on its way to Korea.
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died.

Murder in the skies
Came without a warning.
Murder in the skies
Black September morning.
Murder in the skies.

Time [bad word] out for everyone
Flying over the Sea of Japan.
None would live to see the rising sun
Death was following close at hand.

 [bad word] have shot down a plane on its way to Korea.
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died.

Murder in the skies
Came without a warning.
Murder in the skies
Black September morning.
Murder in the skies
Came without a warning.
Murder in the skies
Black September morning.

Murder in the skies
Came without a warning.
Murder in the skies
Black September morning.
Murder in the skies
Came without a warning.
Murder in the skies
Black September morning.

Murder in the skies.
Murder in the skies.
Murder in the skies.
Murder, Murder in the skies.
Murder in the skies.
