Zatopić Wolność

Old Glory she flew
Over waters of blue
Under a cloudless sky
But foul treachery
Soon colored the sea
And many good men would die

While desperate battle
Was raging nearby
Over an ancient land
The vessel’s crew members
Could never have dreamed
What others for them they had planned

For hours they came
The Israeli planes
Surveying the ship below
That this was the boat
Of their closest ally
Was impossible not to know

Old Glory she flew
Over waters of blue
Under a cloudless sky
But foul treachery
Soon colored the sea
And many good men would die

The cold-blooded murder
Rained down from the sky
The cries for help purposely stilled
The brutes left no doubt
That the siege would go on
Till everyone had been killed

But somehow they broke through
The electronic gag
Our warplanes were on the way
But then came the greatest
Stab in the back:
They were called backed by LBJ

Old Glory she flew
Over waters of blue
Under a cloudless sky
But foul treachery
Soon colored the sea
And many good men would die

Now too many people
Had learned of the crime
The killers were forced to stop short
And with a gaping torpedo
Hole in her side
The victim limped back to the port

What happened that day
Was a sinister scheme
That they’ve tried to this to hide
The men were the victims
Of a covert plot
With the code name of CYANIDE

Old Glory she flew
Over waters of blue
Under a cloudless sky
But foul treachery
Soon colored the sea
And many good men would die
