Sutton Hoo Songtext
von The Darkness

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
