Sabaton Winged Hussars Lyrics

[Intro]
When the winged hussars arrived

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dedication
Dedication
They're outnumbered 15 to one
And the battle's begun

[Chorus]
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down the mountainside
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down they turned the tide

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Desperation
Desperation
It's a desperate race against the mine
And a race against time

[Chorus]
Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down the mountainside
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down they turned the tide

[Bridge]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
We remember
In September
That's the night Vienna was freed
We made the enemy bleed!
[Chorus]
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down the mountainside
Then the winged hussars arrived
Coming down they turned the tide

[Outro]
Storm clouds, 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
