[Rōmaji lyrics]
Tatsu ya tachimachi gekimetsu no
Kachidoki agaru taiheiyō
Tōa shinryaku hyakunen no
Yabō o koko ni kutsugaesu
Ima kessen no toki kitaru
Yuku ya hageshiki kōgun no
Hōka wa takebu daitōa
Ippatsu hitchū nikudan to
Chitte kui naki yamato-dama
Ima jinchū no toki kitaru
Miyo ya san taru kōkoku no
Rekishi o mamoru dai-ketsui
Zensen jūgo ichigan ni
Moete todoroku kono hochō
Ima kōkoku no toki kitaru
Iza ya hatasan jūoku no
Ajiya o okosu dai-shimei
Danko yōchō dōdō to
Seigi tsuranuku tessekishin
Ima kessen no toki kitaru
[Japanese lyrics]
起つや忽ち撃滅の
かちどき挙がる太平洋
東亜侵略 百年の
野望をここに覆す
いま決戦の時来る
征くや激しき皇軍の
砲火は哮ぶ大東亜
一発必中 肉弾と
散って悔いなき大和魂
いま尽忠の時来る
見よや燦たる皇国の
歴史をまもる大決意
前線銃後 一丸に
燃えて轟くこの歩調
いま興国の時来る
いざや果さん十億の
アジヤを興す大使命
断乎膺懲 堂々と
正義貫く鉄石心
いま決戦の時来る
