[Verse 1 - Volk & Kordic]
The deceptive plan
Hangs in the balance of one
And his dying hour of cursed correlation
No burial, no family to grieve

[Refrain 1 - Volk & Kordic]
From Thompson to Flemming to Cholmondeley
His fate is now sealed inside the Haversack Ruse

[Verse 2 - Kordic & Volk]
First documents forge
Then plant on his being
Must fool high command
Drop vagrant to sea
Grey moon guide the corpse
To a fisherman's find

[Refrain 2 - Kordic & Volk]
A perfect execution, Mincemeat swallowed whole
Sir Counterfeits are with the Nazi in Spain

[Chorus - Kordic & Volk]
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was
[Bridge - Volk]
A man's demise
A tool of war
This cemetery of solitude
War

[Chorus - Kordic & Volk]
The man who never was
This man who sealed the operation
The man who never was

[Verse 3 - Kordic]
The deceptive plan hangs
In the balance of one
A man's demise
A tool of
War!
