Like An Eternity

Eternal engines roar and shatter silent sky
(We're patrolling the ocean)
We're searching high and low, we ask no questions why
(And serve with pride and devotion)

They lose their hopes, they think it's all in vain
What we do doesn't matter
They write us off and then try to explain
That we don't know any better

We're sworn and under command
It's all that we go by and understand
It's our allegiance, it's our affinity
We'll do what we have to do; no praise, no recognitions is due
We have been waiting for, been waiting like an eternity

Another sleepless night, the search goes on and on
Each day our chances get slimmer
Tomorrow is unknown, it chills us to the bone
As our patience runs thinner

We're sworn and under command
It's all that we go by and understand
It's our allegiance, it's our affinity
We'll do what we have to do; no praise, no recognitions is due
We have been flying for, been flying like an eternity
