[Verse 1]

Camp duc lap, calm before the storm

They fight with drowsiness

Rubbed their eyes, must stay awake

Stared into the darkness

[Refrain]

Disastrous noise from far behind

Imminent attack splits their minds

Forces proceed to counter thrust

Without doubt they will rush

[Verse 2]

Moon cast a shadow, menace comes near

Formed as an aeroplane

Take up their weapons to defend the boundary line

Do not want to loose the reign

[Refrain]

Disastrous noise from far behind

Imminent attack splits their minds

Forces proceed to counter thrust

Without doubt they will rush

[Verse 3]

Night into day when flare bombs detonate to burn the sky

Our hostile positions are made out there is no place to hide

The AC-47 send their flames from all the barrels

6,000 shots per minute to make a hill all level

[Chorus]

Magic Dragon

Let sheets of fire hail down the base

Magic Dragon

A crucial test the enemy will never raise

Magic Dragon

Spit tracer bullets, expose our hiding place

Magic Dragon

Iron monsters destroy with rage

[Verse 4]

Pilots circle their machines as eagles in the sky

Navigator, tactical warfare, they know the reason why

Because their orders are clear:

Crush them to win the war

[Chorus]

Magic Dragon

Let sheets of fire hail down the base

Magic Dragon

A crucial test the enemy will never raise

Magic Dragon

Spit tracer bullets, expose our hiding place

Magic Dragon

Iron monsters destroy with rage

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]

First squadron obey the command: Take off higher

No Vietcong can move in sustained fire

Orders are clear -

Win the war

[Chorus]

Magic Dragon

Let sheets of fire hail down the base

Magic Dragon

A crucial test the enemy will never raise

Magic Dragon

Spit tracer bullets, expose our hiding place

Magic Dragon

Iron monsters destroy with rage

[Guitar Solo]
