To their own shore came the world war 
Gleaves and the 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 the Ingham 
leading the Bury west 
in their own track came the wolfpack 
Gleaves led the convoy 
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 return 
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 the Ingham 
leading the Bury west 
in their own track came the wolfpack 
Gleaves led the convoy 
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
