Die altehrwürdigen Hard Rocker LIONHEART haben von ihrem am 23. Februar anstehenden Anti-Kriegs-Album “The Grace Of A Dragonfly“ den neuen Track `Little Ships` online gestellt, der die Rettungsaktion der Allierten bei Dünkirchen thematisiert. Dabei präsentiert sich die Band um Dennis Stratton und Sänger Lee Small ein weiteres mal hoch melodisch, harmonisch und mit Twin-Gitarren. Bisher haben LIONHEART schon `V Is For Victory` und `Flight 19` vorgestellt.

Lyrics:
Four hundred thousand men left stranded
Along the beaches of the coast of France
Their backs against the cold North Sea
No hope no place to go
Then came a miracle, Operation Dynamo
Those were the days of little ships
Trawlermen put their lives at risk
Manning each fishing boat alone
To bring the unknown heroes back home
Left sitting ducks for fighters overhead
These brave young men are almost left for dead
Then high on the horizon optimism grew when
Hundreds of tiny vessels came sailing into view
Those were the days of little ships
Trawlermen put their lives at risk
Manning each fishing boat alone
To bring heroes home, oh to bring heroes home
Sail away to sanctuary,
All in the name of humanity
Those were the days of little ships
Trawlermen put their lives at risk
Manning each fishing boat alone
To bring heroes home
Those were the days of little ships
Trawlermen put their lives at risk
Manning each fishing boat alone
To bring the unknown heroes back home
Sail away to sanctuary,
All in the name of humanity
Sail away to sanctuary,
In the name of humanity
