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