North Atlantic winter halfway through the homeward run

Headwind grows to force 8 as the ice blows out the sun

The captain eyes the compass and holds stead to south-east

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 bail of fire that is spewed into the air

Destroyers seal off escape and respond to the attack

And drop their deadly cargo down to break the hunters back

The hunter is the hunter, the tables turned on you

Nothing else that you can do

Run silent, run deep

Destructor below

All hell breaks above

They’re after your blood

Blasted out the water, only wreckage tells the fate

Strewn across the ocean as the captain grips the rail

The incident is over turn the helm full speed ahead

A pause and turns his mind to work nothing to be said

(Repeat second chorus)
