[Verse] Steel beast rising from the ocean deep Midway roaming where the shadows creep Planes launch high reaching for the sky Echoing thunder like a battle cry [Chorus] Fly high metal birds in flight Vietnam's fire light up the night Desert Storm roar break the dawn Flagship leading till it's gone [Verse 2] Armored deck withstands the fight Ghosts of war beneath the moonlight Decommissioned but not forgot Echoes of glory in each brave thought [Chorus] Fly high metal birds in flight Vietnam's fire light up the night Desert Storm roar break the dawn Flagship leading till it's gone [Bridge] Launch the fighters set them free Midway's spirit lives in the sea Legacy carved in steel and sweat Battles fought we won't forget [Verse 3] 1992 the giant rests Honored tales among the best Heroes walked beneath its wings In their name the freedom rings
