about

"U-boat peril" tribute spoken by the formiddable Churchill immediately springs to mind. At least he had Royal Navy destroyers and corvettes - hell of a bunch of hounds!

lyrics

ESCORT

The merchantmen steam in columns
In the strictly defined order
Carrying vital cargoes forward
Fast convoy, eastbound

Guarded fiercely by destroyers
And the nimble flower-class corvettes
Wayward children of Max Horton
Shepherds with the cold hearts

Open! Shipping lanes must be kept open!

Detected! Came boiling our wrath
Depth charged! They did stand no chance
Sent back! Into their rancid depth
Sent back! Into their putrid hell

Always stalked, always watched
Never frightened, ever potent
Always ready to strike first and
To crack U-boats hulls

Make the hunters hunted themselves
Hailed by depth charges and shells
Hammer nails into their coffins
Send their boats straight to bottom
Let them die in terror, slowly
Let them suffocate!

Deep below scattered bones
And screaming skulls
Of merchant seamen
Lie around their ships'
Rusty hulls
Torn by torpedoes

Every single night
And every single day
We make wolves pay dearly
For their victims

Every seaman lost
And every ship destroyed
Only adds to the final price
There's no forgiveness

The Atlantic swell, so potent
Rolls the ships and helps them forward
Through the war and closer to home
To the England's shore

The merchantmen steam in columns
In the strictly defined order
Guarded by the cruel destroyers
And the ruthless corvettes

Open! Shipping lanes must be kept open!

Detected! Came boiling our wrath
Depth charged! They did stand no chance
Sent back! Into their rancid depth
Sent back! Into their putrid hell
