Yamato Rising

Lyrics

Verse 1
Earth Dock shakes tonight
Burn marks on the glass
USS Yamato cuts through
Like a blade of brass

USS Shangri'la on the left
USS Wyvern in the storm
Three hulls hold the line
Where the cold stars swarm

Klingon chants in the dark
Warbirds dive in pairs
Romulan shadows slide
But we don’t break
We turn and rise

Pre-Chorus
Hold the gate
Hold the sky
No one takes
Our home tonight

Lock the beams
Raise the shield
Stand your ground
Do not yield

Chorus
Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Hold Earth Dock
Hold the night

Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Three ships blaze
One fight

Verse 2
Phasers flash in sheets
Hull plates ring like bells
Shields run hot and blue
As the combat swell

Shangri'la takes the flank
Wyvern bites the flank
Yamato drives ahead
Straight into the black

Enemy wings fold back
Smoke across the stars
We keep our oath alive
Scars on scars on scars

Pre-Chorus
Hold the gate
Hold the sky
No one takes
Our home tonight

Lock the beams
Raise the shield
Stand your ground
Do not yield

Chorus
Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Hold Earth Dock
Hold the night

Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Three ships blaze
One fight

Bridge
Half-time
Signal crackles thin
Breath held in the dark
A thousand faces watch
Behind the docking arc

Then the captain says
“Bring them home”
And every wounded hull
Turns back to stone

Final Chorus
Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Hold Earth Dock
Hold the night

Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Shangri'la and Wyvern
Side by side

Yamato, rise!
Yamato, rise!
Three ships blaze
One fight
