Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1

Polo boy in tweed and tie

Dale beside him in the falling sky

Meteor burning over Earth tonight

Zarkov said we're taking rocket flight

(We're going up)

Crash-landed where the heavens bleed

Sky on fire with a crimson need

PRECHORUS

Red horizons calling out my name

Every step a different kind of game

CHORUS

Flash Gordon on the rocket ride

Dale Arden standing by my side

Zarkov built a ship from dream and spark

Now we're dancing where the planets park

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Verse 2

Met a devil with an iron hand

Ming the Merciless across the land

Aura's eyes a golden burning brand

Barin waiting in the forest sand

(Hawkmen fly)

Vultan diving from the cloud-topped crest

Thun with lions roaring from the rest

PRECHORUS

Every kingdom watching what we do

Every throne is waiting for a truth

CHORUS

Flash Gordon on the rocket ride

Dale Arden standing by my side

Zarkov built a ship from dream and spark

Now we're dancing where the planets park

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

BRIDGE

Tournament of Ming with swords aglow

Princess scheming in a gown of gold

Dale between the dagger and the need

A polo boy who learned the tyrant's creed

Oh Mongo keeps on turning

Earth is calling still

And the boy who played the field

Learned to bend a tyrant's will

FINAL CHORUS

Flash Gordon (pulp and ink and fire)

Dale Arden (heart that climbed so higher)

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

OUTRO

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo

To be continued

(Mongo) (Mongo)

Oh-oh-oh Mongo
