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





Chorus:


Running Silent,running Deep,we Are Your Final Prayer


Warriors In Secret Sleep,a Merchantman's Nightmare


A Silent Death Lies Waiting, 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





Chorus





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





Chorus
