[Verse] Grey beast afloat steel hides the sun Cannons roar where the oceans run Decks stained with the ghosts of war What are we fighting for what are we fighting for [Chorus] Iowa Iowa steel and thunder Slicing the waves pulling me under Iowa Iowa fire in the night A shadow of death a fist in the fight [Verse 2] Winds howl through the endless black Smoke rises trails never look back Echoes of sailors lost in the tide Do you hear their cries do you feel their pride [Prechorus] Metal groans against the sea Legacy's a heavy key [Chorus] Iowa Iowa steel and thunder Slicing the waves pulling me under Iowa Iowa fire in the night A shadow of death a fist in the fight [Bridge] Painted grey but bleeding red Memories of the fallen dead Sail on sail on through storm and flame Do we even remember their names
