RUN SILENT ,
RUN DEEP
The convoy lights
are dead ahead
The merchantmen
lay in their bed
The thump of
diesels hammers down
In the oily
sea-the killing ground
His knuckles
white his eyes alight
He slams the
hatch on the deadly night
A cunning fox
in the chickens lair
A hound of
hell and the devil don't care
Runing silent,runing
deep,we are your final prayer
Warriors in
secret sleep,a merchantman's nightmare
A silent death
lies awaiting,for all of you below
Running silent,running
deep,sink into your silent sleep
Chill the hearts
of fighting men
In open ocean
wondering when?
The lethal
silver fish will fly
The boat will
shiver-men will die
A cast of millions-a
part to play
Killer? victim?
or fool for a day
Obeying an
order-men have to die
Us or them
- a well rehearsed lie
Runing silent,runing deep,we are your final prayer
Warriors in
secret sleep,a merchantman's nightmare
A silent death
lies awaiting,for all of you below
Running silent,running
deep,sink into your silent sleep
The lifeboats
shattered the hull is torn
The tar black
smell of burning oil
On the way
down to davy jones
Every man for
himself - you're on your own
The wolf eyes
watch the crosswire
'Stern tubes
ready','aim and fire|'
They can pin
some medal on your chest
But in two
more weeks - dead like the rest
Runing silent,runing deep,we are your final prayer
Warriors in
secret sleep,a merchantman's nightmare
A silent death
lies awaiting,for all of you below
Running silent,running
deep,sink into your silent sleep
BACK TO DISCOGRAPHY - NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING
