Battleships
War's Echo: Nagasaki Sunrise Unleashes Battleships in Leyte Gulf 1944
Lyrics
A stream line of bombers
A series of bombers in formation
A fleet of two thousand fold
A fleet consisting of two thousand units
Wipe out the aces high
Destroying skilled pilots flying at high altitudes
Shelling the waterfront
Bombing the area near the water's edge
Locked in
Trapped or confined
Maxed out
Reaching the maximum limit
Keep the death toll rising
Ensuring a continuous increase in casualties
Battleships go down firing
Battleships sinking while actively firing
Battleships go down firing
Repetition emphasizing the battleships going down while firing
Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Only a war
Highlighting the necessity of engaging in war to bring about its end
To end the war
Stating that only through war can the conflict be resolved
Leyte Gulf
Referencing the Battle of Leyte Gulf
1944
Specific year of the historical event, 1944
All guns blazing
Describing the intense firing of all guns
A might never seen before
Portraying an unprecedented level of might or power
Battleships go down firing
Repetition for emphasis on battleships going down while firing
Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
-Battleships go down firing
Final repetition, underscoring the battleships sinking while actively firing
