The sea air cold and wet
World War II, 1939
To crush the Axis threat
Six years sorrow, 1945
The Atlantic was a battleground
The RCN and Royal Navy
Sail to see the Nazis drowned
Our ships ablaze upon the sea
The sea was blue
The days were blue
The blood was red
The flames were red
The oil was black
The nights were black
The dead were gone
Not coming back
The Kriegsmarine sent their ships
To fight the Allied fleets
Their powers soon eclipsed
Our forces had them beat
Off the coast of Newfoundland
To the ice of the North Sea
Wreckage beached upon the sand
And bodies lost to the hungry deep
The sea was blue
The days were blue
The blood was red
The flames were red
The oil was black
The nights were black
The dead were gone
Not coming back

Brown Bread

A mangled burning cage of steel
Four doors, four wheels
The blunt force of a train
Legs and arms, heart and brains
Embraced by the shotgun's blast
This kiss will be your last
In your room with no hope
As you dangle from a rope
What it means to be dead
No one lives through this
What it means to be dead
The end of pain, the end of bliss
What it means to have lived
Everything you have to give
What it means to have lived
Just a wraith in a land of shit
Trapped inside the twisted frame
Glass shattered, petrol aflame
Laying along a stretch of track
The crook of your neck, no looking back
Your face erased by the shot
A closed casket will be your lot
So many weeks will go by
They find you hanging, a nest for flies
What it means to be dead
No one lives through this
What it means to be dead
The end of pain, the end of bliss
What it means to have lived
Everything you have to give
What it means to have lived
Just a wraith in a land of shit
You and me
We're both dead
All of us
We're brown bread

I Will Die in London
03:41
|

Sutton's underlying hate
Will drag me struggling to the grave
And I will die here
And I will lie here
Croydon with it's buildings grey
Will tower over me during my final days
And I will die here
And I will lie here
Dark tunnels underground
Dark terrors all around
Dark tunnels underground
Dark horrors all around
I will die in London
I will die in London
I will die in London
I will die in London
This city with its future new
I know exactly what I have to do
And I will die here
And I will lie here
London is my concrete tomb
A place where I'll meet death and doom
And I will die here
And I will lie here
Dark tunnels underground
Dark terrors all around
Dark tunnels underground
Dark terrors all around
This will be my casket
This will be my coffin
This will be my grave
This will be my casket
This will be my coffin
This will be my grave
I will die in London
I will die in London
I will die in London
I will die in London

Down we go again and again
All enemies and friends
Slowly sinking under the waves
All masters and slaves
You and me and all we have known
Falling to the abyss below
We will never return to the world full of war
We died far from our shores
The mouth to Hell is the Atlantic Ocean
In depths below - the icy abyss opens
The mouth to Hell is the Atlantic Ocean
In depths below - the icy abyss opens
Allies and Axis all dead on the sea
These men are now all free
Never to return to their homes far away
No more time to save
The days were black and the nights were blue
Like the water all around you
So deep and so cold, everything, all of this
This freezing oceanic abyss
The mouth to Hell is the Atlantic Ocean
In depths below - the icy abyss opens
The mouth to Hell is the Atlantic Ocean
In depths below - the icy abyss opens

Lucifer's Light

Little lady
Let me show you the brightest of all light
In the night
I will bring you unending delight
Lucifer's light shines bright
Lucifer's light shining bright all through the night
