USS Monitor

I know that the sun goes down
As sure as the world still spins around
This is the new and modern way
Speak of the devil here I am
Came from the Viking land
Caught in the cold couldn't understand
Stuck in the woods of wilderness
Blessed with the fury
Off we go to conquer other shores
I do really want it all
Please open the door
Hold your fire save your life
Armored in the steel the USS Monitor
This is judgment day
The rise of the ironclad
In England but things turned bad
Inventions of mine just could not stand
The west was at war and needed help
Inferno on the river
Armed with iron like a wall
So treat me better than before
And the hammer will fall
Hold your fire save your life
Armored in the steel the USS Monitor
This is judgment day
The rise of the ironclad
Hold your fire save your life
Armed in the steel the USS Monitor
This is judgment day
The rise of the ironclad
It's judgment day
Ironclad
Hold your fire save your life
Armored in the steel the USS Monitor
This is judgment day
The rise of the ironclad
