12/7/1941



Two nations, neighbors
Oft times friends
Adversarial
Soon to be enemies
Racist tidings
The message was sent

EAST
WIND
RAIN



Weapons aimed
Men trained
Armies moving
Navies cruising

TIGER
TIGER
TIGER



A nation sleeping
Dreaming of prosperity
Another creeping
To the edge of launch

TORA
TORA
TORA



Zeroes, Kates and Vals
Crashing down
Upon a sleeping fleet
Some men never waking
From the now
Eternal dream

Sounds of 50 caliber MGs
Flak being sent up
Without relief
December 7th, 1941
Air Raid Pearl Harbor This Is No Drill
All Hands, Battle Stations
All Hands Battle Stations
