thirteen hours - wolfnest lyrics

“defeated and depleted”, the myth was all but lies
built upon a promise made to sweep us from the skies
a heinkel spotted on the coast came scouting into range
hurricanes to intercept and send it into flames
southern squadrons scramble and spitfires take to flight
the luftwaffe are unprepared for airborne british might

vapour trails like lacework that danced across the sky
the garden now a ringside seat to dogfights racing by
beleaguered bombers reach their goal above the sprawling smoke
the droning, throbbing sound of planes, and carnage it evoked

the all clear finally sounded as bombers turned away
parried right back to the coast by aerial melee
the all clear finally sounded as bombers turned away
parried right back to the coast by aerial melee

thirteen hours are all we have to spare us from defeat
thirteen hours are all we have or invasion we will meet
thirteen hours to answer back the threat upon our shore
thirteen hours to muster strength and batten down the door

still they come, a second wave, a deadlier assault
an aerial armada, with malice they are wrought
on the ground the gunners fire with futile bursts of flak
the plumes from which the targets marked and lead us to attack
vapour trails like lacework that danced across the sky
the garden now a ringside seat to dogfights racing by
beleaguered bombers reach their goal above the sprawling smoke
the droning, throbbing sound of planes, and carnage it evoked

the all clear finally sounded as bombers turned away
parried right back to the coast by aerial melee
the all clear finally sounded as bombers turned away
the thirteenth hour is now at hand as victory is swayed
