Operation Mincemeat - Crippled Black Phoenix

The deceptive plan

Hangs in the balance of one

And his dying hour of cursed correlation

No burial, no family to grieve

«From Thompson to Flemming to Cholmondeley

His fate is now sealed inside the Haversack Ruse.»

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

«A perfect execution, Mincemeat swallowed whole

Sir Counterfeits are with the Nazi in Spain.»

The man who never was

This man who sealed the operation

The man who never was

A man’s demise

A tool of war

This cemetery of solitude

War

The man who never was

This man who sealed the operation

The man who never was

The deceptive plan hangs

In the balance of one

A man’s demise

A tool of war
