History Ate the Names

Chorus

No capes or gods in eighty-eight

History eats the names that we relate

Night Witches and the Tankies

Nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as the truth

Verse 1

Anna rolls the old sewing machine

Engine cut cold

Low and dead

Gliding ghosts on the Eastern line

Black cross targets below

Five ninety-ninth flyers

Frozen wind on her face

No parachute for the traitors

Pre-Chorus

Burn the night

Burn the night in two

Anna

Anna

Chorus

No capes or gods in eighty-eight

History eats the names that we relate

Night Witches and the Tankies

Nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as the truth

Verse 2

Singapore screams in forty-two

Carrie keeps the ward

Tending the broken

While the jungle turns to red

Billy waits by the wall

She won the fight

She lost the girl

The knife is wet and cold

Pre-Chorus

Don't forgive

Don't forget the cost

Carrie

Carrie

Chorus

No capes or gods in eighty-eight

History eats the names that we relate

Night Witches and the Tankies

Nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as the truth

Bridge

Churchill crew in the French mud

Tiger in the trees

Brewing up

Brewing tea

Brewing hell

Ken is over the Ruhr valley

Happy valley

Happy hell

Happy liars in the flak

Chorus

No capes or gods in eighty-eight

History eats the names that we relate

Night Witches and the Tankies

Nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as the truth
