Flash Gordon's Flight

Verse 1

Yale boy in a blazer, blonde and bold and brave

Dale beside him falling through a burning sky

Meteor scraped the stratosphere, the whole world held its breath

Zarkov grabbed the controls and said "strap in tight"

We tore through the ceiling with a comet trail

Broke the bonds of gravity, spit right past the veil

Pre-Chorus

Red planet rising on the view screen

Nothing here is what it seems

Chorus

Flash Gordon, rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden, never letting go

Zarkov counting down the seconds in his head

A million miles from home and we're not done yet

Mongo, Mongo

Verse 2

Crash-landed in the canyon where the giants roam

Met a princess with a laser and a heart of stone

Ming the Merciless laughing from his iron throne

Every city spired sharp against the crimson sun

Kingdoms in the clouds and kingdoms underground

Lion men and hawk men making war and making sound

Pre-Chorus

Strange worlds turning every hour

Weapons charged with raw power

Chorus

Flash Gordon, rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden, never letting go

Zarkov breaking every rule of every law

And this whole planet's standing at the brink of war

Mongo, Mongo

Bridge

Sword against the ray gun, gold against the gray

Aura spins her schemes while the tournament's at play

Barin waits in Arboria with an army in the shade

One Yale boy's word can turn the whole parade

We came for the rescue, stayed for the fight

A polo stick made common cause with right

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon, rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden, hold on tight

Zarkov, Barin, Aura, Vultan, Thun

The sky and the soil and the sea become one

Mongo, we are one

Outro

Flash Gordon, on the planet Mongo

To be continued, to be continued

Mongo
