Verse 1:
The evening breeze was gentle
In a sky so clear and calm,
The Hindenburg was sailing,
A majestic floating palm.
It was the sixth of May,
The year was thirty-seven,
Fate's shadow cast a pall
On their journey meant for heaven.
Chorus:
Oh, the sky on fire,
Burning dreams so high,
Hearts trapped in a pyre,
Under the New Jersey sky.
From laughter turned to cries,
As the flames climbed higher,
Oh, the night the giants died,
In the sky on fire.
Verse 2:
The captain turned his compass,
As they made the slow descent,
Passengers' hearts were soaring
With the dreams that they had sent.
But peace was shattered swiftly
As the tail began to spark,
A flame that danced so cruelly,
And turned the dusk to dark.
Chorus:
Oh, the sky on fire,
Burning dreams so high,
Hearts trapped in a pyre,
Under the New Jersey sky.
From laughter turned to cries,
As the flames climbed higher,
Oh, the night the giants died,
In the sky on fire.
Verse 3:
Elizabeth held her locket,
Through the window watched the flame,
While Henry saved the children,
Calling each by name.
The radio’s last message,
Sent through sparks and smoke,
"Come quickly," cried the voice,
As hope began to choke.
Chorus:
Oh, the sky on fire,
Burning dreams so high,
Hearts trapped in a pyre,
Under the New Jersey sky.
From laughter turned to cries,
As the flames climbed higher,
Oh, the night the giants died,
In the sky on fire.
Bridge:
Photographs and letters,
Scattered in the wreck,
Tales of love and bravery,
Amidst the twisted deck.
[continue drum]
From ashes rose the stories,
Of those who dared to save,
A few souls from the fire,
From an untimely grave.
Chorus:
Oh, the sky on fire,
Burning dreams so high,
Hearts trapped in a pyre,
Under the New Jersey sky.
From laughter turned to cries,
As the flames climbed higher,
Oh, the night the giants died,
In the sky on fire.
Outro Verse:
As the embers faded
Into the cold night air,
The world would not forget
The fiery despair.
Each journey tells a story
Of hopes and of regrets,
In the dance of human striving,
Where fate and ambition met.
