Operation Z

From the Kuriles

Steaming South

To ride the tiger

Climb the mount

Undiscovered

In misty cold

High stake gamble

The crippling blow

Hammering guns

Armour 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 Harbour

Paralyzed

Steel Downpour

On Hawaii

Hammering guns

Armour piercing bombs

Aiming at the battleships

Ground facilities

Carriers not at anchorage

Safe on open sea

CAPSIZED

Capsized, sunken vessels

DEFENCELESS

Defenceless casualties

MASSACRED

Massacred by treason

A date which will live in infamy
