Letra de Run Silent Run Deep

[Verso 1]
The convoy lights are dead ahead
The merchantmen lay in their bed
The trumps of diesels hammer down
In the oily sea, the killing ground

[Verso 2]
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

[Coro]
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

[Verso 3]
Chill the hearts of fighting men
In open ocean wondering when
The lethal silver fish will fly
The boat will shiver, men will die

[Verso 4]
A cast of millions, a part to play
Killer, victim or fool for a day?
Obeying an order, men have to die
Us or them, a well rehearsed lie

[Coro]

[Verso 5]
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

[Verso 6]
The wolf eyes watch the crosswire
Stern tubes ready, aim and fire
They can pin some medal on your chest
But in two more weeks, dead like the rest

[Coro]

[Conclusi�n]
Running silent, running deep
We are your final prayer
Warriors in secret sleep
A merchantman's nightmare
