Sabaton – Wolfpack

Hecht (Pike) was the name of two wolfpacks of German U-boats that operated during World War II. The first operated during the Battle of the Atlantic from 8 May to 18 June 1942. They primarily attacked the Liverpool to Halifax convoys ONS 92 and ONS 100, and sank 14 ships for a total of 62,709 gross register tons (GRT).

A second wolfpack also code-named Hecht (comprising U-352, U-435 and U-455) operated east of Iceland from 27 January to 4 February 1942.

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 quietest 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 hornets 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 returns

The wolfpack surface for a second time

To make the convoy face it’s fate

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 hornets 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

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 again

In their own track came the Wolfpack

Gleaves led the conwoy into the hornets nest

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 hornets 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

Don’t know what’s waiting down below

The Wolfpack lurks, awaiting you

To follow, to bleed

It’s time for you to return, they decide

Oh no! Oh no!

The Wolfpack’s waiting for them

Too calm, you’ll see!

Below the surface, waits for you!
