Iron Coffins

Battle of the Atlantic rages

In a war that seems to last for ages

Kriegs Marines, Killing merchant marines

Submerged in their war machines

Wolf Packs and torpedo attacks

U-boats are the Iron Coffins

Iron crosses and heavy losses

The brave Kriegs Marines always come back for more

Convoys, decoys, we destroy

Where the hunter becomes the hunted

U-boats are the wolves at sea

In stealth and in silence stalking their prey

Attack, tear and sink

At periscope depth they're targeting death

With gyroscopes set

The objective will be met

Full speed ahead, engage the convoy

Iron coffin, bare your fangs

With nerves of steel in this war of tonnage

The wolf now sinks its teeth in

A sonar ping is a haunting sound

Destroyer above our position found

Depth charge breeds panic as the warship comes back around

Splashes in the water

Depth Charge!

Destroyer sweeping, sonar seeking

To detect the Iron Coffin below

Depth charge detonates to rock the vessel

Shock waves ear ring to muffle the sonar ping

Torpedo spread, target acquired

Under the surface, prepare to die

Torpedos loose streaming towards the ships

Lines cut into the water, covers broken

Warship steams towards their source

All guns blazing, hell raising

A steady decent into the deep

Pressure gauge reads one hundred feet

Air thins, breath suffocating

In anxiety the walls are closing in

Heart stopping, sounds of the engines above

Destroyer sweeping, sonar seeking

Break the surface, man the guns, lock and load to finish them off

Start the engines, turn the screws, crank the shaft

To avoid another hit

Breach their hulls, take on water, forced to scuttle dead in the water

Let's send them to a watery grave

Flood the tubes, release the fury, level her off as bulk heads snap

Bow to the sky, slipping away beneath the deep

Commit their bodies to the deep

On a one way ticket to hell

In an Iron Coffin
