Yamato at the Line

Lyrics

Verse 1
Deep black, hard quiet
Yamato on the seam
Klingon zone ahead now
Romulan shadows stream

Red grid on the scanner
Cold math in the glass
Captain says, "Hold steady"
We do not let 'em pass

Pre-Chorus
Throttle up, no mercy
Formation locks in tight
One ship, old and stubborn
Burning through the night

Chorus
Yamato, hold the line
Yamato, hold the line
Fire in the deep, we shine
Yamato, hold the line
(hold the line)
(hold the line)

Verse 2
Bird-of-prey on the left side
Warbird on the right
They circle like bad weather
Then break into the fight

Phasers cut the silence
Shields bloom white and blue
We turn through their dark wake
And split the zone in two

Pre-Chorus
Deck plates shake like thunder
But nobody steps back
Old hull, iron heartbeat
Set us on attack

Chorus
Yamato, hold the line
Yamato, hold the line
Fire in the deep, we shine
Yamato, hold the line
(hold the line)
(hold the line)

Bridge
Then the stars go still
For one sharp breath
Smoke on the scanners
Metal after death

A wounded cruiser drifts
A captain bites his pride
Yamato in the dark
With heaven at its side

Final Chorus
Yamato, hold the line
Yamato, hold the line
Fire in the deep, we shine
Yamato, hold the line
Yamato, hold the line
Yamato, hold the line
Deep space bends, we won't resign
Yamato, hold the line
