Wolfpack

To their own shore
Came the world war
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the Bury west

Took the short way in
The long route back
Convoy 92
Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading
Tankers to the west
And upon the North Atlantic
Lies the silence of the seas
On the quietest night
In the darkest hour
The Kriegsmarine appear

Above the surface it seems quiet and calm
Deep down below the wolfpack lurks

No!
No!
No!

To their own shore
Came the World War
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the Bury west
In their own track
Came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the conwoy
Into the hornets nest

At the crack of dawn
The second day
Bury stands in flames
Half the convoy sunk or disabled
Heading back to shore
But below the North Atlantic
On the bottom of the sea
On the second night in the darkest hour
The Kriegsmarine returns

The wolfpack surface for a second time
To make the convoy face it's fate

No!
No!
No!

To their own shore
Came the World War
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading the Bury west
In their own track
Came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
Into the hornets nest

Under fire
Under water
May 42
When Bury did fail the test
To their own shore
Came the World War
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading them into death

569 makes the contact and lead them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches
406 suffers failure on launch

U-569 makes the contact and lead them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
U-124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches
406 suffers failure on launch AGAIN!

To their own shore
Came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading the Bury west
In their own track
Came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
Into the hornets nest

Under fire
Under water
May 42
When Bury did fail the test
To their own shore
Came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading them into death
