run silent run deep
Singer:iron maiden
the convoy lights are dead ahead
the merchantmen lay in their bed
the trump 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
a merchantman's nightmare
a silent death lies waiting
sink into your final 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 of play
killer? victim? or fool for a day
obeying an order - men have to die
us or them - a well rehearsed lie
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
