To their own shore came the world war,
Gleaves and 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 Ingham
Leading the Bury west
In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the conwoy
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 return
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 lead them,
U-94 scores a kill in the dark,
124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches,
406 suffers failure on launch
