Iron Maiden - Run Silent Run Deep

Текст песни Run Silent Run Deep

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

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
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

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
(2:20-Solo: Janick Gers)
(2:36-Solo: Dave Murray)

The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn, the tar black smell of burning oil,
