Run Silent Run Deep |
| The convoy lights are dead ahead |
| The merchantmen lay in their bed |
| The thump of diesels hammer down |
| In the oily sea, the killing ground |
| Knuckles white, eyes alight |
| He slams the hatch on the deadly night |
| A cunning fox in the chicken’s lair |
| A hound of Hell and the Devil don’t care |
| 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 final sleep |
| Chill the hearts of fighting men |
| In open ocean wondering when |
| The lethal silver fish will fly |
| This boat will shiver, men will die |
| A cast of millions, a part to play |
| Killer, victim, fool for the day? |
| Obeying an order, men have to die |
| Us or them, a well-rehearsed lie |
| 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 final sleep |
| The lifeboat’s 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 |
| Ah, in two more weeks, dead like the rest |
| 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 final sleep |
| Running silent, running deep |
| We are your final prayer |
| Warriors in secret sleep |
| A merchantman’s nightmare |
