Run Silent Run Deep

The North Atlantic winter halfway through the homeward run

The headwind grows to force eight as the ice blots out the sun

The captain eyes the compass and holds steady to southeast

But look over to starboard, see the rising of the beast

The hunter picks his victim out, the weakest of the pack

He rises and delivers his attack

Run silent, run deep

Destructor below

All hell breaks above

They're after your blood

Explosion, and in disbelief, the others turn and stare

And see the ball of fire that is spewed into the air

Destroyers seal off their escape, respond to the attack

And drop their deadly cargo down to break the hunter's back

The hunter is the hunted now, the tables turned on you

Oh, yes, there's nothing else that you can do

Run silent, run deep

Destructor below

All hell breaks above

They're after your blood

Oh, blasted out the water, only wreckage tells the tale

Strewn across the ocean as the captain grips the rail

The incident is over, turn the helm full speed ahead

The boss returns his mind to work, nothing to be said

The hunter is the hunted now, the tables turned on you

Oh, yes, there's nothing more that you can do

Run silent, run deep

Destructor below

All hell breaks above

They're after your blood
