Following the Great war, a new kind of war began
Flight allowed new warriors of a different kind
Climbing into the clouds with their machines
The sky was filled with danger
Moving quickly to find their perfect angle
They wanted to find and cut down their foe
As they dueled in the sky
To some heroes, to others killers
Some were chivalrous, others bestial
Dragons and Eagles in epic battle
They fought in a place and bizarre time
As they became knights of modernity
If ideologies would collide
If nationalistic rage fueled their effort
Each of the machines of war had warriors inside
While each nation's propagandists lauded them
They were no different than other warriors
But these knights were a new breed
Before the joust they chose their weapons
Their chosen seconds waiting to assist
Each struck their blow and if victorious
They'd fight against another knight
Clad in armor, dueling in flight
