Lyrics

[00:38.44] A second of light it came like a flash from heaven
[00:42.37] The moment of truth a minute of doubt but then my friend
[00:46.31] It came from the sky they came from the sea
[00:50.25] We all knew that we would die
[00:54.75] The secret of war is that the strongest will stand
[00:58.81] Don't ever believe there is some glory
[01:03.12] And I can recall when enemies came to invade
[01:06.56] So many years ago
[01:10.37] Going back to the island again
[01:14.00] I'll return to the fire and hell
[01:18.50] I wake up every night and I scream after light
[01:22.75] As I feel Iwo Jima again
[01:27.62] Back to Iwo Jima again
[01:36.87] All of us knew
[01:37.93] It's over and out but samurais keep fighting
[01:41.75] We stand for the flag and aim for the win though we have lost
[01:45.93] Recalling the days the warriors way
[01:49.81] I can see it though I'm blind
[01:54.37] So what do you say if they call you a liar and a thief
[01:58.24] And how do you plead are you the guilty
[02:02.49] The worst of it all was that I could not go home
[02:06.24] To the place where I belong
[02:09.62] Going back to the island again
[02:13.49] I'll return to the fire and hell
[02:17.68] I wake up every night and I scream after light
[02:22.12] As I feel Iwo Jima again
[02:26.05] Back to Iwo Jima my friend
[04:27.23] Going back to the island again
[04:31.11] I'll return to the fire and hell
[04:35.42] I wake up every night and I scream after light
[04:39.73] In the Land of the Rising Sun
[04:43.55] I will return to the island again
[04:47.55] I'll return to the fire and hell
[04:51.80] I wake up every night and I scream after light
[04:56.36] I'll go back to the island again
[05:00.42] I'll go back to the island again
[05:04.04] Back to Iwo Jima again
