An operation to dominate
To lay claim to an ocean
History recorded a failure
A stunning and decisive blow
The attackers sent to the bottom
In ships they'd never replace
Turning point in the pacific
This time could turn their way
Dropped into the heat of the battle
Zeroing on the target
Enemy cruiser burning below
One more run to take her down
Torpedoes are released in the water
Racing to punch through the hull
Impact delivered no detonation
One more ship still in the fight
Through a life that's been sacrificed
For a home that's far beyond reach
Time and battles come and gone
In this lifetime of war
Is there no hope for escape?
From a war without end
The greatest battle never fought
Raging off the midway atoll
Antique weapons I must enhance
History in the balance
On the sea bed lie the remains
3 days in June that never happened
And now I go to another front
For them at least now it's ended
Through a life that's been sacrificed
For a home that's far beyond reach
Time and battles come and gone
In this lifetime of war
Is there no hope for escape?
From a war without end
From a war without end
