Punk as Truth

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Chorus

No capes or gods

Just Dynamite 2008

Garth Ennis writes names that history ate

Night Witches and Tankies

A nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Verse 1

Anna

The five ninety ninth

The sewing machine sounds through the black sky

Nineteen forty two

She cuts the engine

Gliding silent while the fire starts to bloom

One slip and she's a traitor in her hometown

Caught between the borders

Caught between the guns

Caught between the years

Back in Fifty-one hunting the MiGs in Korea

Pre-Chorus

Fly low

Fly dead

No parachute to slow the end

Anna

Anna

Burn the long night in two

Chorus

No capes or gods

Just Dynamite 2008

Garth Ennis writes names that history ate

Night Witches and Tankies

A nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Post-Chorus

Truth

Truth

Yeah the bitter truth

Verse 2

Carrie in the garden

Singapore fell like a rotten piece of fruit

The pilot is bleeding

Billy is breathing

Billy is breathing

The knife stays wet in the heavy tropic humidity

You can win the struggle

You can win the blood

You can win the hate

And still lose every single thing you ever wanted

Pre-Chorus

Carrie

Don't forgive

Do not forget the price paid

Billy's breathing

Knife is wet

Bridge

Churchill crew in Normandy

Mud and hedgerows hiding Tigers

Brewing up

No glory for the Tankies in April nine

One shell left and the luck is running out

Ken joined the crew in Happy Valley

The Ruhr is a furnace

The Ruhr is a graveyard

The Ruhr is a lie

They've buried three crews and they'll bury you too

Chorus

No capes or gods

Just Dynamite 2008

Garth Ennis writes names that history ate

Night Witches and Tankies

A nurse with a grudge

Bomber boys over Germany won't budge

Battlefields

Battlefields

Battlefields

Punk as truth

Post-Chorus

Battlefields

History ate

History ate
