"Neo-Inferno: Forged in Fire, Tempered in Steel, Rising Forever."

Lyrics

In the elite of the fleet, he had a noble name
Ion Neculai Hagiu, a man of steady aim
But in the Soviet lands, a different sound was heard
And in the streets of Bar, "Vanea" was the word.
A man of quiet laughter, with a spark within his eye
He’d sell you and he’d buy you back before the sun was high
Double the price, but half the time, a trickster full of grace
But truth was written in the lines upon his honest face.

(Chorus)
Oh, Vanea, the wolf of the deep blue sea
Between the "Delfinul" and the shores of history
Through the fire and the frost, through the magic and the gale
He carried the truth, and lived to tell the tale.

(Verse 2)
He studied with the Germans, a doctor’s healing hand
From the decks of "Constanța" to the submarine command
On the "Delfinul" they dove, where the pressure bends the steel
Two hundred meters down, where the spirits become real.
He watched the German sorcerer, a master of the black
Who sent a sleeping engineer on a ghostly track
Out of the hull, through the dark, to see the broken blade
While Vanea held the pulse, in the shadows where they prayed.

(Bridge)
Then came the day of Easter, nineteen-forty-four
The "Alba Iulia" was screaming by the shore
No wings in the sky to shield them from the lead
The bombers came from East, leaving water stained with red.
The hull was torn asunder, the fuel began to glow
The sea itself was burning, a hellish, liquid show
Men clinging to the masts, as the ocean pulled them down
A thousand souls in winter, watching sisters, brothers drown.

(Verse 3)
Vanea jumped in his woolen coat, a heavy, sodden weight
Fighting through the floating dead, wrestling with his fate
He swam eleven miles through the ice and through the fear
To the rope of a lifeboat, as the end was drawing near.
His strength was gone, his fingers slipped, the dark was closing in
But a German sailor down below, with a hand upon his shin
Offered a shoulder, offered a step, a final, selfless ghost
Vanea climbed to safety, but the German soul was lost.

(Chorus)
Oh, Vanea, the wolf of the deep blue sea
Between the "Delfinul" and the shores of history
Through the fire and the frost, through the magic and the gale
He carried the truth, and lived to tell the tale.

(Outro)
"I will serve You, Lord," he whispered to the sky
As the "Alba Iulia" refused to sink and die
Towed back to Constanța, a ghost ship on the tide
But Vanea walked the earth again, with Justice by his side.
Justice and Truth.
Vanea.
