The Names History Ate

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite years

The names history ate in fears

Night Witches and Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Battlefields

Battlefields

Verse 1

Anna spins the wood propeller

Anna flies her sewing machine

Anna

All-female nightmare

Glide in the dark

No engines on

Target in the crosshairs

Shot down but home is colder

Jet planes scream over Korea

Same face

New metal

Hunting the ghosts again

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite years

The names history ate in fears

Night Witches and Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Battlefields

Battlefields

Verse 2

Singapore falls in a day

Nurse Carrie drags a pilot through the mud

Sunlight

Turns to shadows

Ugly wins

Savage losses

Revenge feels like ash on the tongue

Victory

Is just surviving the blood

Billy is breathing

The blade is ready

Bridge

Tigers in the hedgerows

No glory for the crew

The Ruhr is choking the air

We've buried the many

We've buried the few

We've buried the truth

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite years

The names history ate in fears

Night Witches and Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Battlefields

Battlefields

Post-Chorus

Punk as truth

Oh-oh

Punk as truth

Oh-oh-oh

Fly low

Burn the night

Verse 3

Aussie kids dreaming of heat

Masher and Blue saw it all before

High flak

Valley of fire

One more op

Liars in the cockpit

The heavy Churchill crawls

Tracks off in the rainy trees

April steel

Last shell

Holding the line for a grave

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite years

The names history ate in fears

Night Witches and Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Battlefields

Battlefields
