[Verse]
Shadows stretch on volcanic stone,
Teeth of fire where the winds moan,
Sulfur in lungs, every breath loans,
Ash clouds crown where the dead groan.
Sand black as the Reaper’s cloak,
Hands shake but the spirit spoke,
Steel rains, every heart broke,
Through the fog, hope just a faint smoke.
[Chorus]
Iwo’s calling, echoes scream,
Blood and courage in a waking dream.
Death’s the dealer, cards unseen,
Marines stand tall where nightmares teem.
[Verse 2]
Flame throwers carve out the night,
Tunnel rats vanish from sight,
Pillbox bunkers, fire ignites,
Each step forward a dogfight.
Flag raised, silhouettes in the haze,
Brothers fallen in a death maze,
Bones buried where the war stays,
Heartbeats slow in the last gaze.
[Bridge]
Gunfire hymns, the island cries,
Each blast paints the blood-red skies.
Echoes linger, though time flies,
The mettle of men where honor lies.
