======= "Winged Hussars" LYRICS =======

When the winged hussars arrived

A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league
60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak
Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die
Will they hold the wall or will the city fall

Dedication
Dedication
They’re outnumbered 15 to one
And the battle´s begun

Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down the mountainside
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down they turned the tide

As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high
No escape and no salvation
Trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls
Plant the charges there and watch the city fear

Desperation
Desperation
It’s a desperate race against the mine
And a race against time

Cannonballs are coming down from the sky
Janissaries are you ready to die?
We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye

You’ll be stopped upon the steps of our gate
On this field you’re only facing our hate
But back home the Sultan’s sealing your fate

We remember
In September
That’s the night Vienna was freed
We made the enemy bleed!

Stormclouds, fire and steel
Death from above make their enemy kneel
Shining armour and wings
Death from above, it’s an army of kings

We remember
In September
When the winged hussars arrived

========= Historic Fact ==========

In 1683, during the siege of Vienna, 140,000 soldiers of the Ottoman Empire were tearing the city's defences apart. They were driven away when a relief force, comprising the famed Winged Hussars of Poland, arrived to save the city.

Its over Janissaries, we have the high ground.

Fun fact: One night, during the Siege of Vienna, The Ottomans were digging an underground tunnel in order to get to the city from the ground. But the bakers, who woke up early for work, listened noises under the ground, so they call the city guards and fortunately, they saved the city delaying the Ottomans and giving time to the Winged Hussars. Hence, they were congratulated and they made a special food for the emperor. They created the croissant, with the form of the moon, which is the form of the Ottoman's flag

[chadmank]

Fun fact the f-35s america sold Poland are being renamed the hussars. The winged hussars are back baby!!

As a history buff and huge metal fan, Sabaton is just a blessing.
Keep on rockin' guys.

[blackfivebravo]

My son introduced me to this awesome band after he saw them in Montreal Canada. And myself being retired military, and a history buff, I have mad respect for the music and the Band themselves. I have every song on my usb drives that I listen to as i drive across our country. God bless these artist, for they know what they sing about!! Dont stop brothers.

[aleksanderosvoll]

When you're about to fail a test, but then your Polish friend lets you copy his answers

[quantusmechanicus]

Just letting you guys know, Poland has decided to name their F-35 fighter jets “Hussars”. So the Winged Hussars are making a comeback.

[XBLGR]

If I could witness one moment in history, it would be the charge of the Winged Hussars

[nh]

Stefan Karaszewski was a Polish soldier who alone stopped for 2 hours an advance of 60 Nazi tanks on 5/09/1939 allowing his fellow soldiers to retreat safely. Fighting alone he destroyed 7 tanks and 1 motorvehicle and killed 11 Nazi soldiers. When he ran out of ammunition he took his own life. When Germans eventually saw only one dead body of Polish soldier they were in shock because they thougth they were fighting against a group of soldiers. Even one Polish soldier can organize a Thermopylae battle. Chwała bohaterom!

[HoovyTube]

My Polish blood flows down there and creates a damn statue when I listen to this.

Teacher: What happened at the siege of Vienna?
Me: The winged hussars arrived

[zdoesgame]

I have a friend who listens to this every day in class with earbuds. They have protection on so I can't hear them but he can. He watches the lyrics video along with it. So I thought to myself, well why does this guy like Sabaton so much? I then YouTube searched it and I ended up loving this song. Great powerful vocals, a syncopated rhythm guitar, wall of sound-like synth and bass, and beautiful fills on the drums. This combined with the poetic lyrics can only mean one thing. It's power metal, and at its finest.
