lyrics

All was quiet on the eastern shore
'till the world heard a deafening roar
The ground did shake and the waters churned
Then the horizon started to burn

Tsunami sirens shouted their call
Scientists gathered in the hall
The data said that disaster loomed
Evacuate or the city is doomed

The Mayor said, "No way, pshaw!
Deploy the tanks and Johnny Law
Don't worry, there's nothing to fear
God's on our side, we're in the clear."

They lined the beaches and they dug in
But then the ground it shook again
A mighty beast emerged from the waves
In its eyes was the end of days, it's

Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla (Godzilla)

The hammer fell, the tanks unleashed
They saw the fury of the beast
Exploding bombs filled the sky
But Godzilla just wouldn't die.

He broke right through the thin green line
It looked like it was Tokyo time
Smashing cars under his feet
Wreaking havoc upon the street

The people ran away for their lives
Godzilla hit the power lines
A mighty surge lit up the town
Then the buildings came falling down

He leveled blocks with a flip of his tail
The citizens could only watch and wail
Hope was lost in a sea of fire
Godzilla refused to tire, he's

Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla

This is an emergency broadcast. Godzilla has arrived in Tokyo and is carving a large swath of destruction through the city. He's already leveled about 40 blocks and is making his way toward the main metropolitan area. If you are in Tokyo and can hear this message, GET OUT! Godzilla will show no mercy! Oh, the humanity. Oh, the horror. Who will save us now?

Mothra emerged from the sky
And looked the beast in the eye
Mothra the savior of man
If she can't save them, no one can

Monsters with fire in their eyes
Death would silence human cries
Destruction, the bell had rung
The battle had begun

The guardians of Mothra had warned that this would happen
If humans didn't change their ways.
The consequence of Mother Nature's exploitation
Would hit them like a tidal wave

Godzilla felt his point was made
His raw power had cast its shade
Mothra would no longer sing
Godzilla had clipped her wings

Mankind was left to rebuild
Tears were shed for those he killed
Tokyo would be remade
Memories would eventually fade

The monster sleeps in the ocean's womb
Life and progress had resumed
Man would cease to be concerned
But Godzilla would return! He's

Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla
