Yamato Lyrics


Over 65,000 tonnes of Kure made steel

Emblazoned with chrysanthemum seal

862 feet, a man made leviathan

A feared colossus of the ocean

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Into history passes, rust to rust

Launching, launching, the Yamato (4x)

Built in strict secrecy,

A.A. Guns numbering 190

A sister ship named Musashi

Built in Nagasaki

Send forth, send forth the Yamato (4x)

Operation Ten Gou

In the tradition of the Shinto

Suicide voyage to Okinawa

A samurai armada

Beset by Avengers, Helldivers and Corsairs

F6Fs attacking in pairs

Ignited gun magazine #1 an the oil tanks

The Rising Sun has sank

Sinking, sinking the Yamato (4x)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Into history passes, rust to rust
