Hellfire Blues |
| It was quiet for days |
| Then the skies turned red with spite |
| It was quiet for days |
| Then the skies turned red with spite |
| All hell’s breaking out |
| Along the coast tonight |
| In a backstreet road |
| A row of houses burned |
| In a backstreet road |
| A row of houses burned |
| There’s blood seeping out |
| Where someone’s head was turned |
| From high above |
| The bombs were raining down |
| From high above |
| The bombs were raining down |
| As the sirens sounded out |
| Across the town |
| Tracers flashed through |
| The jet-black oily smoke |
| Tracers flashed through |
| The jet-black oily smoke |
| Shells exploded |
| But the spirit never broke |
| Came all clear |
| And bluebirds flew day long |
| Came all clear |
| And bluebirds flew day long |
| Vera Lynn sang |
| Her patriotic song |
| I looked out to sea |
| Through the silent airman’s eyes |
| I looked out to sea |
| Through the silent airman’s eyes |
| God rest his soul |
| For the ever open skies |
