To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the 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 silence of the sea
And on the quiest night in the darkest hour
The Kriegsmarine appear

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

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

At the crack of the 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 its 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

In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy into the hornets nest

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
