lyrics

On the pacific ocean during the second world war
The Allies land in the Philippines
The last stand of the Japanese Imperial Navy, all forces committed
Operation Sho-1, their massive plan
To smash the invading fleet

Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death

Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames

Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths

Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight

The American Admiral Oldendorf
Must defend the invasion force.
With 6 battleships, savaged from Pearl Harbor
Low on ammo with no air cover
The ships begin patrols, Waiting for their enemy.

Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death

Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames

Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths

Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight

Counting on divine assistance to their cause
The Imperial navy sails on in the dead of night
Torpedo runs by PT Boats and Destroyers
Sink the battleship Fuso
spotlights search for targets, radar screens glowing bright
onward they press exchanging fire on dark waters,

At the edge of Leyte Gulf
The T is crossed, on the Allied battle line
All guns brought to bear, full broadside firing
Erupting on the ocean they rip the night apart
Rails of lethal light, the shells collide
Men vaporized on impact

An era on the sea has ended
The overpowered Admiral Nishimura could not retreat
Down with his flagship dead in defeat
Burning outlines of their vessels
Oil and bodies filling the ocean

Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death

Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames

Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths

Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight
