run silent run deep

1. no prayer for the dying albumunden ho? bi iron maiden ?ark?s?...
   
   the convoy lights are dead ahead
   the merchantmen lay in their bed
   the thump of diesels hammers down
   in the oily sea-the killing ground
   his knuckles white his eyes alight
   he slams the hatch on the deadly night
   a cunning fox in the chickens lair
   a hound of hell and the devil don't care
   
   runing silent,runing deep,we are your final prayer
   warriors in secret sleep,a merchantman's nightmare
   a silent death lies awaiting,for all of you below
   running silent,running deep,sink into your silent sleep
   
   chill the hearts of fighting men
   in open ocean wondering when?
   the lethal silver fish will fly
   the boat will shiver-men will die
   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
   
   the lifeboats 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
   but in two more weeks - dead like the rest
