Run Silent Run Deep lyrics:

The convoy lights are dead ahead

The Merchantmen lay in their bed,

The thump of diesels hammers down,

In the oily sea - the killing ground,

His knuckles white his eyes alight,

He slams the hatch on the deadly night,

A cunning fox in the chickens lair

A hound of hell and the devil don't care

[Chorus]

Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer,

Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare,

A silent death lies waiting, for all of you below,

Running silent, Running deep, sink into your final sleep

Chill the hearts of fighting men,

In open ocean wondering when?

The lethal silver fish will fly

This boat will shiver - men will die

A cast of millions - a part to play

Killer? Victim? or fool for a day

Obeying an order - men have to die

Us or them - a well rehearsed lie

[Chorus]

The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn,

The tar black smell of burning oil,

On the way down to Davy Jones,

Every man for himself - you're on your own

The wolf eyes watch the crosswire

"Stern tubes ready", "Aim and fire!"

They can pin some medal on your chest,

But in two more weeks - dead like the rest

[Chorus]

I like to run deep, but preferably not silent.

@bradmanthethird No, chicken's lair is still more appropriate. His hands were tied, so to speak. He's already got the "wolf surrounded by easy prey" metaphor going, so kraken's lair is just kinda weird. Think- no fox, no matter how cunning, is going to stand a chance in a Kraken's lair.

Running Silent,Ramming Sheep, they don’t have a prayer A flock that is not asleep,a farmer’s worst nightmare An 8-inch *censured* lies waiting, for all of them below Running Silent,Ramming Sheep, then drive away like maniacs in our Jeep

A flock of sheep are dead ahead The farmer and wife lay in their bed The dropping of pants, lets get them now I’m going to oil my wang on the mating ground Fluffy bodies white - a midnight delight I slam the gate in the middle of the night Annoying dogs try to get into my hair A hound begins to smell and but I don't care

I love these lyrics, except for one minor quibble- the phrase "chickens' lair." Since when do chickens live in a "lair?" They're not really stealthy or predatory, so the term "lair" hardly seems to suit a habitation of chickens. No, but seriously. The chorus is so damn awesome. Also, one of those wicked awesome Maiden riffs starting at about 2:52.
