Yamato Pride

Lyrics

Verse 1
Steel in the dark
Her name on the hull
I.S.S Yamato
Cold and glorious

Terra raised her high
For the proud to see
Black glass in her wake
And a war to feed

They fed her thunder
They fed her flame
Sent her through the void
To carve their name

Pre-Chorus
Lock the target line
Hear the fleet stand still
Every oath they swore
Bent to her will

Chorus
Yamato rise, Yamato strike
Break their line, cut clean tonight
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Take the sky, make them hide

Yamato rise, Yamato strike
Till the stars go red in light
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Terran roar, Terran light

Verse 2
Federation ships
Turned to silver sparks
Their wings in the crossfire
Their bones in the dark

Plasma tore the blue
Through shield and bone
The bridge stayed steady
Like carved-in stone

Flags in the cabin
Eyes set hard
Every man aboard
Played his part

Pre-Chorus
Lock the target line
Hear the fleet stand still
Every oath they swore
Bent to her will

Chorus
Yamato rise, Yamato strike
Break their line, cut clean tonight
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Take the sky, make them hide

Yamato rise, Yamato strike
Till the stars go red in light
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Terran roar, Terran light

Bridge
Then the sky went black
With a thousand blows
Their shattered formation
Closed like jaws

Hull alarms screaming
Frames gave way
Even iron kings
Can kneel one day

The Yamato shook
The Yamato bled
Pride turned to ash
In a field of dread

Final Chorus
Yamato fall, Yamato break
Too much fire for one hull to take
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Now retreat, now survive

Yamato fall, Yamato break
Smoke in the wake, no more to take
Yamato pride, Yamato pride
Terran dream, wounded light

Outro
Back through the dark
With engines low
A proud ship limping
But refusing to go

Yamato
Yamato
Retreat tonight
Fight another sky
