War Wolfe X - Sinking Peace

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
