From the Kuriles, steaming south
To ride the tiger, climb the mount
Undiscovered in misty cold
High stake gamble, the crippling blow
Hammering guns, armor piercing bombs
Aiming at the battleships, ground facilities
Carriers not at anchorage, safe on open sea
Nakajimas, screeching dives
Eager bandits, do or die
Pearl Harbor, paralyzed
Steel downpour on Hawaii
Hammering guns, armor piercing bombs
Aiming at the battleships, ground facilities
Carriers not at anchorage, safe on open sea
