Sutton Hoo

Lyrics

We have stumbled upon a ghost town in the East
 There is no sign of life, no sign of the deceased
 Evidence of a ship with sails and oars intact
 No human remains, no theory and no fact
 Where to, if they fled?
 Where'd they die if they're dead?
 Was it famine, was it war?
 What did the people leave the settlement for?
 Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
 Was it marooned or was it moored?
 Did the townsfolk put the sailors to the sword?
 Oh, Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries, ooh, ooh-ooh
 Oh, Sutton Hoo
 A celestial craft appeared in the sky
 All the witnesses fell down to their knees and cried
 Hundreds of years before the age of steam
 The townsfolk were fixed in its tractor beam
 Blinding light in their eyes
 As they helplessly rise
 Then an aperture appeared in the hull, as the floating Saxons neared
 Oh, Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
 Lizard men tearing at their robes
 Other lizard men polishing their probes
 Oh, Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries, ooh, ooh-ooh
 Oh, Sutton Hoo
 ♪
 No more pain and no more fear
 It's a different atmosphere
 Oh, Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries
 Leave behind the human race
 As we're travelling through space
 Oh, Sutton Hoo can unlock these mysteries, ooh, ooh-ooh
 Oh, Sutton Hoo
