[00:33.15]The convoy lights are dead ahead
[00:37.21]The merchantmen lay in their bed
[00:39.36]The thump of diesels hammer down
[00:43.44]In the oily sea, the killing ground
[00:47.59]Knuckles white, eyes alight
[00:51.69]He slams the hatch on the deadly night
[00:53.91]A cunning fox in the chicken's lair
[00:58.11]A hound of Hell and the Devil don't care
[01:02.12]Running silent, running deep
[01:04.25]We are your final prayer
[01:06.34]Warriors in secret sleep
[01:08.35]A merchantman's nightmare
[01:10.48]A silent death lies waiting for all of you below
[01:14.60]Running silent, running deep
[01:16.65]Sink into your final sleep
[01:18.87]Chill the hearts of fighting men
[01:22.81]In open ocean wondering when
[01:25.02]The lethal silver fish will fly
[01:28.98]This boat will shiver, men will die
[01:32.96]A cast of millions, a part to play
[01:37.12]Killer, victim, fool for the day?
[01:39.30]Obeying an order, men have to die
[01:43.31]Us or them, a well-rehearsed lie
[01:47.37]Running silent, running deep
[01:49.25]We are your final prayer
[01:51.51]Warriors in secret sleep
[01:53.44]A merchantman's nightmare
[01:55.54]A silent death lies waiting for all of you below
[01:59.62]Running silent, running deep
[02:01.59]Sink into your final sleep
[03:07.56]The lifeboat's shattered, the hull is torn
[03:11.40]The tar black smell of burning oil
[03:13.54]On the way down to Davy Jones
[03:17.44]Every man for himself, you're on your own
[03:21.30]The wolf eyes watch the crosswire
[03:25.32]Stern tubes ready, aim and fire
[03:27.41]They can pin some medal on your chest
[03:31.15]Ah, in two more weeks, dead like the rest
[03:35.28]Running silent, running deep
[03:37.29]We are your final prayer
[03:39.50]Warriors in secret sleep
[03:41.41]A merchantman's nightmare
[03:43.53]A silent death lies waiting for all of you below
[03:47.43]Running silent, running deep
[03:49.47]Sink into your final sleep
[04:09.81]Running silent, running deep
[04:13.18]We are your final prayer
[04:16.99]Warriors in secret sleep
[04:20.44]A merchantman's nightmare
