Chorus
No capes
No gods
Just the red blood on the page
The names that history ate
Night witches
Tankies
The nurse with a grudge
Boys over Germany
They won't budge
Battlefields
Battlefields
Truth like a riot
Battlefields
Battlefields
Verse 1
Wood and wire
The 588th sewing machine
Gliding silent
Freezing hands over German lines
Anna falls
Anna flies
The traitor tag stuck to her skin
Fifty-one
Korea burning
Chasing the Sabres through the thin wind
Fly low
Fly dead
Burn the night in two
Anna
Anna
Burn the night in two
Pre-Chorus
Write it in the dirt
Bleed it through the ink
Hear the engine scream
Watch the metal sink
Chorus
No capes
No gods
Just the red blood on the page
The names that history ate
Night witches
Tankies
The nurse with a grudge
Boys over Germany
They won't budge
Battlefields
Battlefields
Truth like a riot
Battlefields
Battlefields
Verse 2
Singapore smoke
Carrie watches the palm trees snap
Hospital walls
Turned to a graveyard trap
Billy survived
But his bones are just dust
She keeps the blade
Deep in a shadow of trust
Don't forgive
Don't forget
Billy's breathing
The knife is wet
Pre-Chorus
Write it in the dirt
Bleed it through the ink
Hear the engine scream
Watch the metal sink
Chorus
No capes
No gods
Just the red blood on the page
The names that history ate
Night witches
Tankies
The nurse with a grudge
Boys over Germany
They won't budge
Battlefields
Battlefields
Truth like a riot
Battlefields
Battlefields
Verse 3
Norman hedgerows
Mud pulling the Churchill down
Iron cats
Waiting in the tall green crown
Aussie crew
Harding and the foul-mouthed men
The Ruhr
The Ruhr
Don't expect to come home again
Happy Valley
Happy hell
One more op
And we're all well
Bridge
Tigers in the trees
Tracks blown off the gear
Acker joe
Clive blue
Living on a beer
Masher cries
The flak is thick
Dying is a dirty trick
Chorus
No capes
No gods
Just the red blood on the page
The names that history ate
Night witches
Tankies
The nurse with a grudge
Boys over Germany
They won't budge
Battlefields
Battlefields
Truth like a riot
Battlefields
Battlefields
