lyrics

DIVINE WIND
Ancestor’s speak, of my life’s course
Honor the man, on the White horse

Sacred oath taken, Honor is bestown
Upon Silken headband, family name is sewn
Okamura’s folly, desperation plan
Suicidal pilots, Sacrifice to save Japan

Too many losses, this war has taken toll
So few of us left, the fallen we’ll extol
Barely seventeen, our oldest twenty-four
So much more to life, not anymore
Forty hours of training, rushed to the sky
Only one mission, sink your ship and die
No thirst for glory, no honor being vain
Just one desire, honor father’s name

Say final prayers to family fallen long ago
What horrors lie ahead only they would know
Across the Leyte Gulf rises the Eastern Sun
The day of my final mission has begun
Armadas’ smoke plumes fill the sky
Fire up the engines it’s time for us to fly
One-way trip, never to come back
Courage in my veins, fear I lack
Ohka, Baka, call it what you wish
One deadly purpose, make you food for fish
Propaganda & politics fill my rage
Speed down the flight deck prepare to engage
Out of the Sun diving straight and true
I know this is it, my time is due
White knuckle the stick, eyes turning red
Thousands of bullets, aimed at my head

You see me coming and put up a fight
Admirable, your muscle and your might
You scream in terror, you cry in fear
I smell your blood as my bomb draws near
Send your steel fortress, bottom of the sea
Sacrificial death, coerced destiny
Finding my target, I hit my mark
Fireball explosion, everything goes dark

The sky was my home, the sea now my grave
My honor, my heart, my soul, all I gave
Pray my name in reverence, say my name in praise
My mission of honor, concluded my fighting days
No thirst for glory, no honor being vain
Just one desire, honor father’s name
The sky was my home, the sea now my grave
My honor, my heart, my soul, all I gave
