Wolfpack
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 the silence of the seas
On a quiet night in the darkest hour, the Kriegsmarine appear
Above the surface, it seems quiet and calm
Deep down below, the Wolfpack lurks
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 hornet's 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 returns
The Wolfpack surface for a second time
To make the convoy face its fate
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 hornet's 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 leads them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
124 sinking four in two approaches
406 suffers failure on launch
U-569 makes the contact and leads them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
124 sinking four in two approaches
406 suffers failure on launch again
In their own track came the Wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy into the hornet's 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 hornet's 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
