Lyrics
They wear the white coats upon the sunlit deck
We wear the burns of solder on our neck
Sing out, brothers!
Up on the top deck the admirals stand
The celebrated healers of
Nordic command They cut with the steel and they bind up the head
And carry the laurels for treating the dead
But deep in the villages where greasy smoke curls
Well the guardians of coils, the fixers of worlds
With multimeters slung at our leather -clad hips
We keep the life beating on hospital ships
So drink to the bio
Guild of the Deep
Watch o 'er the flame while the patient's asleep
No parades in our honor, no gold on our shield
Yet without our wrenches the wounds never healed
Raise up the horn, let the concertina play
The Biomed Keepers have conquered the day
When ventilators choke, who is summoned to run
The biomed warriors who sleep in the sun
When defibrillators refuse to ignite
Who charges through thunder into the cold night
From incubator warmth to the linear beam
We are the weavers of silicon dream
Let the surgeons take glory
Let nurses take praise
We ask for no statues choose to brighten our days
just a well -grounded circuit a calibration
tight And another saved warrior
Walking upright
So drink to the biomed
Guild of the deep
Watch o 'er the flame
While the patient's asleep
No parades in our honor
No gold on our shield
Yet without our wrenches
The wounds never healed
Raise up the horn
Let the concertina play
The Velvet Keepers have conquered the
day
Tools down, brothers
Fill the heart with me
Skull to the biome
Hey,
hey,
Ha
