Fifty 05:14
Fifty men in the enemy camp Sitting out the war Submit to their country’s call to arms That they dared not ignore Cease your futile attempts at escape The commandant pompously shrugged By sworn duty they did not stop And on and on they dug All heads turned away from the front Their weapons ready; their orders blunt Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar They lost their lives to win the war Thirty feet beneath the ground They dug for months on end ‘Til Harry had run far enough And the fifty did ascend All heads turned away from the front Their weapons ready; their orders blunt Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar They lost their lives to win the war Through the trees they disappeared Under the dark of the moon Until recaptured one by one Thwarted all too soon The old man sighed, slightly annoyed Mercy he showed not An order signed in tyrant’s blood And fifty men were shot All heads turned away from the front Their weapons ready; their orders blunt Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar They lost their lives to win the war

Find me, I’ll guide you If ever you’re lost at sea Feed me, I’ll feed you You’re the only one for me Ignore me, I’ll call you Don’t be gone too long Resist me, I’ll haunt you Look upon this façade of freedom Carry your bliss to the grave The Liberator hath enslaved Not for Christ or Muhammad or Buddha Not for any god you labor Embrace this tyrant as your savior Nowhere you can hide Always on your mind This blooming flower Before me you kneel Know your fate is sealed I will devour you Look upon this façade of freedom Carry your bliss to the grave The Liberator hath enslaved Not for Christ or Muhammad or Buddha Not for any god you labor Embrace this tyrant as your savior Guardian Savior I’m the Liberator Tyrant Enslaver Bow down before your master Embrace me, I’ll save you Reject me, I’ll kill you Look upon this façade of freedom Carry your bliss to the grave The Liberator hath enslaved Not for Christ or Muhammad or Buddha Not for any god you labor Embrace this tyrant as your savior

about

Headed by Mike Johnson and Kaelin Bougneit (Mad Atlantic), Untitled Blue is an orchestral rock band, focused on delivering dramatic stories through their music. Recorded over Spring/Summer 2011, the group's first effort, the 'Fifty EP', delivers just that, most notedly in the title track, which tells the story of the Great Escape and the fifty WWII POWs that were executed for their escape attempt.
