Sinking Peace Lyrics

There in my news paper

Clear as day there it is

The warning

Don't disembark

Germany's at war

With Britain and her allies

And any vessel

With her flag is a mark

It says the waters adjacent to the isle

Are patrolled

By their deadly Uboats

So if you wanna travel

Be prepared to be sunk

In the waters

That's what I read taking note

But I pay no mind

I acquired my ticket first class

And I will sail

From these shores

An American headed

To Liverpool the first time

So I will head

Towards the boat

Lusitania is the name

Of this Cunard liner

And she cuts

A fine figure

Lucy I affectionately

Dub her

As I head to the pier 54

The day is lovely

I know the world

Is at war all around

But that's a European fight

Awful as it sounds

My proud country

Stands in neutrality

But we're friendly to the British

And their efforts I have found

The Germans are cruel

Well so I've read

In the allied nations

We call them the huns

They have no regard

For sacred monuments or life

It's what I've read

One every page one

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

No way we can know

No there's no way we can see

Peace will end for us

In the coldness of the deep

There's a sinking peace

Deep in the soul

And what that means

No way we can know

I'm just one man

On the ship

Thousands are aboard

Including women and children

One American in sea

Of British and Canadiens

All aware of

What's written

We talk about the threat

But none of us believe

That we could

Ever be the target

Besides that

There's many lifeboats we'll survive

In the worst case

Regardless

May 1st we begin

The voyage

In first class

I enjoy but I notice

A slight commotion

On deck stowaways

Were discovered

Of German origins

No one knows why

Their aboard we speculate

They might be spies

I find it kind of odd

They will be questioned

Once we reach Liverpool

But for now

They are locked away so odd

Second and Third class

Seem overcrowded

And some of Second class

Are allowed in First

I pay it no mind

As the days pass by inching closer

And we're nearing

Ireland

Start to here rumor

Of some activity in the ocean

But for most

This is not startling

I have to wonder to myself

What is lurking down below

Is it danger I don't know

Why I'm bothering

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

Sinking peace

No way we can know

No there's no way we can see

Peace will end for us

In the coldness of the deep

There's a sinking peace

Deep in the soul

And what that means

No way we can know

On patrol

Just looking for ships

Ships of the enemy

The British we will rip

Rip apart their vessels

With our Torpedoes quick

All for Germany

To win the war like this

Neutral or not

We will target them now

Around the Irish channel

A few ships we send down

6,000 ton vessels

But they know we are here

So we miss the larger ship

Try to target but they veer

Running low on fuel

Only 3 torpedoes left

May 6th the morning

As the fog starts to set

Visibility is low

At this moment

As we wait for a ship

To emerge we can get

The fog gives way

To clear sunshine

We spot ships off

In the distance now's the time

It turns out

It is only one vessel

As we submerge

Start to run towards their line

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

Peace

Peace is a lie my friend

Launch the gyroscopic torpedo

Towards them

Hit starboard

Setting off the destruction

An explosion is seen

And felt at that moment

The ship leans over

As it starts to sink

Golden letters appear

Lusatania was seen

On the side of the ship

As it falls to the sea

Peace is a lie for those

Aboard it would seem

I'm awaken

Jarred from my slumber

The ships been hit

By something there's no wonder

Chaos on the deck

And underneath

As everyone runs to

Lifeboats its bleak

Because the ship

As sinking so fast

The cold Atlantic

Looks to claim us to the last

A few boats

Manage to hit the water

They start to sink

With no boat plug to the bottom

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

No way they can know

No there's no way they can see

Peace will end for them

In the coldness of the deep

As I float in the water

From the wreckage of the ship

As I sail away

From the ship we just hit

I am reminded of the words that I read

You will be sunk don't disembark

I am reminded of the warning

We gave to any ships that dare to depart

This is war and from

This disaster the US will join

This is war that they couldn't avoid

Peace is a lie that we sunk

Peace is a lie

Peace is a lie

Peace is a lie

Sinking peace
