The Song of the USS New Mexico (Cover)

(Verse 1) Oh, New Mexico, she rose with pride, A thunderous queen on the ocean wide. Her steel-clad hull and her cannons bold, A fortress afloat, her story untold. From Pearl’s calm harbor to Pacific gales, She braved the storm, her spirit prevails. Through the fiery skies and the battle's sound, The New Mexico’s might would shake the ground. (Chorus) Oh, sing of New Mexico, fierce and strong, The ship that faced where others were wronged. A tide of vengeance, her guns would roar, A sentinel guarding freedom’s shore. (Verse 2) She stood at the front where the fury burned, Her broadsides fired as the tides were turned. From Tarawa’s sands to Luzon’s fight, Her shells lit up the darkest night. In the Marianas her wrath was shown, A steel leviathan to call her own. She battered the gates where empires fell, A titan of war, her crew knew her well. (Chorus) Oh, sing of New Mexico, fierce and strong, The ship that faced where others were wronged. A tide of vengeance, her guns would roar, A sentinel guarding freedom’s shore. (Bridge) Through kamikaze fire, she forged ahead, While death and flame filled the skies with dread. Her sailors stood fast, her flag still high, The New Mexico lived though the world could die. (Verse 3) In Okinawa’s siege, her story was told, Her salvo sang through the cannon’s cold. When the seas grew calm and the smoke had cleared, Her legacy shone, for all revered. (Final Chorus) Oh, sing of New Mexico, fierce and true, A warrior’s hymn for the bold and the blue. Her tale of courage, her thunderous call, The USS New Mexico stood for us all. (Outro fading) Now in the annals of naval might, Her name still gleams in the fading light. Oh, New Mexico, with a crew so brave, Your spirit sails on every wave.
