Artist/Band: Iron Maiden
Lyrics for Song: Run Silent Run Deep
Lyrics for Album: Eddie: Head Box [13 Cds] [1998]



The convoy lights are dead ahead

The merchantmen lay in their bed

The thump of diesels hammers down

In the oily sea-the killing ground

His knuckles white his eyes alight

He slams the hatch on the deadly night

A cunning fox in the chickens lair

A hound of hell and the devil don't care



chorus:

Running silent,running deep,we are your final prayer

Warriors in secret sleep,a merchantman's nightmare

A silent death lies waiting, for all of you below

Running silent,running deep,sink into your silent sleep



Chill the hearts of fighting men

In open ocean wondering when?

The lethal silver fish will fly

The boat will shiver-men will die

A cast of millions-a part to play

Killer? victim? or fool for a day

Obeying an order-men have to die

Us or them - a well rehearsed lie



chorus



The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn

The tar black smell of burning oil

On the way down to Davy Jones

Every man for himself - you're on your own

The wolf eyes watch the crosswire

'Stern tubes ready','aim and fire'

They can pin some medal on your chest

But in two more weeks - dead like the rest



chorus


Run Silent Run Deep

The song features the iconic Eddie the Head character, a central figure in the band's visual identity, delivering a narrative of impending doom and resilience. With its driving double-bass rhythm and soaring vocals, the recording exemplifies the melodic heaviness that characterized Maiden's work during the late 1990s. This piece remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the group's ability to blend complex musical structures with accessible anthems that have influenced countless metal acts. The track serves as a testament to the band's enduring legacy in the genre, capturing the essence of their theatrical approach to rock music.
