Akagi
When you throw a sucker punch there is a knock-out blow
In waking hours they came from the air
To rain down destruction on those unaware
All hands find some cover
No chance to fight with flight
Just run
Our planes have been grounded
Defenses are pounded with bombs and guns
Attacks meant to cripple and stun
Low blow
Ships sinking
Too slow to react
But now the sleeping giant has been awakened
You poked the hornets nest
You took your shot
You did your best
But we're still standing through it all
And we've been filled with terrible resolve
Our intent was be passive
Let's sit this one out
But you forced our hand
And removed all doubt
Time to fight
Time to rise
Time to rebuild and to take to the skies
We didn't start this war
But we will fight back
And we'll settle the score
Low blow (When you throw a sucker punch there is a knock-out)
Too slow (We didn't start this war)
Low blow (The time has come to rise, rebuild and take to the sky)
Too slow (The giant awakened)
In waking hours they came from the air
To rain down destruction on those unaware
All hands find some cover
No chance to fight with flight
Just run
Our planes have been grounded
Defenses are pounded with bombs and guns
Attacks meant to cripple and stun
Low blow
Ships sinking
Too slow to react
But now the sleeping giant has been awakened
You poked the hornets nest
You took your shot
You did your best
But we're still standing through it all
And we've been filled with terrible resolve
Our intent was be passive
Let's sit this one out
But you forced our hand
And removed all doubt
Time to fight
Time to rise
Time to rebuild and to take to the skies
We didn't start this war
But we will fight back
And we'll settle the score
Low blow (When you throw a sucker punch there is a knock-out)
Too slow (We didn't start this war)
Low blow (The time has come to rise, rebuild and take to the sky)
Too slow (The giant awakened)
