The Names History Ate

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite in eight

The names history ate

Night witches

Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Verse 1

Anna pilots a sewing machine

Gliding cold

Gliding fast

Gliding mean

Five ninety ninth girls cut the spark

They fall

They rise

They own the dark

Back home the traitors call her name

Years later Sabres join the game

Pre-Chorus

Fly low

Fly dead

No parachute in sight

Anna

Anna

Burn the night in two

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite in eight

The names history ate

Night witches

Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Verse 2

Carrie walks through Singapore sand

Hell arrived

Hell stayed

Hell took the land

A pilot breathes through busted teeth

Sharp metal hides underneath

Revenge is ugly

Winning is worse

Blood fills the pockets of a nurse

Pre-Chorus

Carrie

Don't forgive

Don't forget

Billy's breathing

Knife is wet

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite in eight

The names history ate

Night witches

Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Verse 3

Ken finds his crew in the rain

Acker

Masher

Clive

Blue

Sharing the pain

Buried three friends in the mud

Ruhr valley tastes like iron and blood

Foul mouths screaming at the sky

One more mission

One more lie

Pre-Chorus

Happy valley

Happy hell

One more op

We're all well

Liar

Bridge

British Churchill in the trees

Tracks off

Tigers

Crews on their knees

Reluctant men find no glory

Told the truth

Told the story

Chorus

No capes

No gods

Just dynamite in eight

The names history ate

Night witches

Tankies

Nurses with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth
