I.J.N. Kongō (Cover)

[Intro-Instrumental] [Verse 1] From the forges of Britain, a titan was born, Named after Kongō, where mountains adorn. Laid down in eleven, by Vickers’ skilled hand, A symbol of might from a distant land. [Chorus 1] Kongō, oh Kongō, through the waves you roam, Steel heart of Japan, far from your home. Battlecruiser turned battleship, in the Pacific's deep, In honor and valor, your memory we keep. [Verse 2] World War One, you patrolled the Chinese sea, Guarding the Empire's path to victory. Two reconstructions, more power, more speed, Fast battleship reclassified, to lead where there's need. [Chorus 2] Kongō, oh Kongō, through the waves you roam, Steel heart of Japan, far from your home. Battlecruiser turned battleship, in the Pacific's deep, In honor and valor, your memory we keep. [Verse 3] Through Sino-Japanese wars, you carved your name, In Midway, Guadalcanal, you played the deadly game. The seas of Leyte Gulf, where you fiercely fought, Each wave a reminder of the courage you brought. [Bridge] But in the Formosa Strait, fate came to call, Torpedoes from Sealion, the mighty to fall. Yet in the depth of waters, your spirit stands tall, A warrior of the ocean, you answered the call. [Chorus 3] Kongō, oh Kongō, through the waves you roam, Steel heart of Japan, far from your home. Battlecruiser turned battleship, in the Pacific's deep, In honor and valor, your memory we keep. [Outro- Instrumental] Kongō, your legacy, in stories passed down, A tale of a battleship, of great renown. From British yards to the Pacific’s embrace, In the annals of history, you found your place.
