code name raven

maybe you'll see me on the evening news

maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head

if that's the case

then i've met my doom

if that's the case

then my comrades are dead

and i don't hate my enemy

i hate the cloud he's brought over my land

there's no virtue in killing a man

neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand

but i saw the black coats forming lines

they hit our beaches running

we're on our knees but not to pray

you're the only reason i stayed

in this coward's melee

i'd rather die than live without mercy and love

sing while the city decays

we'd rather go up in flames

lest we betray thy names of dignity and love

you can't change the course

our fate's sealed long ago

but hope is not lost

code name corbeau

we trade their secrets at cost for our lives

the panzer is strong

the raven is wise

i tune my ears to the bbc

i can hear them

they can't hear me

i long to forget all the horrors i've seen

i live like a ghost

i'll die with the free

traitors and turncoats turned aside

traitors who slip

sink

they're on their knees but just to beg

you're the only reason i stayed

in this coward's melee

i'd rather die than live without mercy and love

sing while the city decays

we'd rather go up in flames

lest we betray thy names of dignity and love

inside the fuselage

valiant young soldiers singing songs

fear not my downcast brothers
