Torpedo [2023 remaster]

from TORPEDO by Urban Dogz

lyrics

All day long on a raft of bones
Floating on the ocean in a temperate zone
Blood and fury and guns and pain
You thought you'd never see war again
There's a fire! There's a fire!
Beneath the water there's a burning man.
Down the wire, down the wire
The chief is screaming 'bout the burning man

Torpedo! Torpedo!
Fire in the water, what a way to go.
Torpedo! Torpedo!
Iron fish is swimmin'
Iron fish got murder in his eye..............

A storm last week nearly sunk this boat
poppin' rivets like corn, but we're still afloat
Torpedo is flying like a knife beneath the wave
Bulkheads warping to an early grave
I'm on fire! I'm on fire!
Ashes drifting in the burning foam
He's a liar! He's a liar
Told us all he would bring us home

Water is rising, lights go out
Blackness is coming and men scream and shout
Cry for your mother, cry to the sky
Take a last breath before you die
I'm burning! I'm drowning
Ain't hanging to what's left of me
I ain't seeing, I ain't breathing
I'm going to the deep
