Got bored so I came up with lyrics for a hypothetical USS Enterprise song
[Verse 1]
‘36 from Newport Slips
6th of her kind, 7th of a legacy
Clad in steel for a new battlefield
For a new age of warfare
Sail to war from Virginia Shores
Let her banner fly
Preparing for an oncoming storm
And her story has begun
[Bridge 1]
She will carve out a legend
From Virginia, it begins
[Chorus]
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
CV-6, your name remembered!
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
Going down in history forever
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
May your story never end
When the grey ghost strikes again!
[Verse 2]
From the trap laid in 41, her story has begun
Through the battles of the Pacific war, building up her legend
From the Solomon Islands to Guadalcanal
As the last of her sisters
20 Battles Stars under her name
She stands alone against the enemy
The nation stands and builds her fame
Scramble the reapers
[Bridge]
A vessel immortal
Three times they failed to sink her
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
CV-6, your name remembered!
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
Going down in history forever
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
May your story never end
When the grey ghost strikes again!
[Spoken]
All pilots to your planes, scramble scramble!
Enterprise ready
Engage
[guitar solo]
[Bridge 3]
Her legacy remembered
From Pearl to Iwo Jima she would
[Chorus]
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
CV-6, your name remembered!
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
Going down in history forever
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
May your story never end
When the grey ghost strikes again!
Strike! Rule the skies!
CV-6, your name remembered!
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
Going down in history forever
Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!
May your story never end
When the grey ghost strikes again!
