A burning ambition reveals itself to play the cards of initiative

An audacious plan to strike at night to deal a blow to the British fleet

The human torpedo must create a hole

Blasting the netting of steel

Rushing through come the MT boats to attack the ships at berth

Self-sacrifice is the keyword here

A tool of destruction and nothing less

Determinate to bring forth death and to act as the reaper’s breath

I christen thee…doom!

I christen thee…doom!

A mindset guided by devotion

To serve one’s personal convictions

A common sense of duty in the name of your country

Darkness is all that surrounds you and the sea your lonely companion

Your vessel will bring destruction, when you are allowed to fulfil your mission

Fear, doubts…you name them

They all cross one’s mind

Waiting for the right moment to speed up when the target is in sight

It’s time to move towards the bridge

The first boat did not explode

The previous attack missed its goal

Diverting course right now!

Forward faster

Pillars in sight

Impact imminent

Death’s command.

I christen thee…doom!

I christen thee…doom!

An honourable death, but torn to bits

The sacrifice had been in vain

A glorious demise of a warrior at sea, yet the result was nihil
