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 a quietst night in the darkest hour The kriegsmarine appear
Above the surface it seems quiet and calm Deep down below the wolfpack lurks
[Chorus:] 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 return
The wolfpack surface for a second time To make the convoy face it's fate
[Chorus]
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 [x2]
In their own track came the wolfpack Gleaves led the conwoy Into the hornets nest
[Chorus]
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
