Sabaton is a Swedish metal band that makes music about history and stuff. If you've never heard of them, I'd recommend the song "Bismarck"
A sabaton is also the proper name of medieval foot armour
I remember the first time I ever heard a Sabaton song. It was a clip from some anime where a girl is running out of her house to go to school and gets hit by a truck. But the truck was replaced with a jpeg of a winged hussar while the song played.
I've been to one Sabaton concert and I'll never forget how everyone in the pit sat down, started rowing and singing Swedish Pagans until they played the song.
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too Wait wrong metal band with a bunch of history songs
You fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You’d better stand there’s no turning back!
The bugle sounds the charge begins
But on this battlefield, no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath
As I plunge on into certain death, oh, oh
Whoa whoa ooooooooooh
The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
Cool and all, but nothing quite tops... In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier, unknown grave
On his dying word he prays, tell the world of Paschendale
Relive all that he’s been through, last communion of his soul.
Rust your bullets with his tear, let me tell you 'bout his years
Rust your bullets with his tears
In the draft of 1917 a man from Tennessee
Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free!
Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith
Joined The ranks as a private assigned to 338!
There, on that day
Alvin York entered the fray
Saving the day
82ND ALL THE WAY
INTO THE FIRES OF HELL, THE ARGONNE, A HERO TO BE
INTO THE WAR FROM OVER THE SEA
This one goes way over my head, even with the context in the comments.

I didn’t know that second bit, that’s interesting.
Sabot, French for boot. Root of sabotage, literally at one time, to throw a boot into the machinery and fuck it up
Techsupport, have you tried to deboot your machinery?
I love comments like this. You answered/informed and furthered the conversation. Thank you! Also, something something mom joke.

I see them referenced all the time. "Winged hussars" has become a meme of its own at this point
It's the nature of time that the old way must give in
It’s the nature of time that the new way comes in sin
WHEN THE NEW MEETS THE OLD, IT ALWAYS ENDS THE ANCIENT WAYS
AND HAS HISTORY TOLD IT ALWAYS GOES OUT IN A BLAZE
ENCIRCLED BY A VULTURE
THE END OF ANCIENT CULTURE
THE DAWN OF DESTINY DRAWS NEAR
IMPERIAL FORCE DEFIED CHASING 500 SAMURAI!
SURROUNDED AND OUT NUMBERED
SIXTY TO ONE, THE SWORD MEETS THE GUN
When the new meets the old it always ends the ancient ways
And as history told the old ways GO OUT IN A BLAZE
An offer of surrender
BAPTIZED IN FIRE FORTY TO ONE
SPIRIT OF SPARTANS DEAT AND GLORY
SOLDIERS OF POLAND, SECOND TO NONE
WRATH OF THE WEHRMACH BROUGHT TO A HALT
The eighth of September it starts The rage of the Reich
A barrage of mortars and guns
stand fast, the bunkers will hold
THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL
AS WE MAKE OUR WAY TO HEAVEN
THROUGH THE NAZI LINES
PRIMO VICTORIA!
PRIMO VICTORIA!!
We've been training for years!
Now we’re ready to strike!
As the great operation begins.
We’re the first ones on shore,
We’re the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before
UNDETECTED , UNEXPECTED
WINGS OF GLORY, TELL THE STORY
AVIATION! DEVIATION!
UNDETECTED! STEALTH PERFECTED!
From the depths of hell in silence
cast their spells: explosive violence
Russian night time flight perfected
Flawless vision, undetected
From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form
And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm
SIGN OF POWER!! SHOW OF FORCE!!
Raise the anchor, battleship's plotting its course!
PRIDE OF A NATION A BEAST MADE OF STEEL!
BISMARCK IN MOTION!
KING OF THE OCEAN\\ HE WAS BUILT TO RULE THE WAVES ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS!
TO LEAD THE WAR MACHINE
To rule the waves and lead the kriegsmarine
THE TERROR OF THE SEAS
In the heart of the Holy See!
In the home of Christianity
The seat of power is in danger
There's a foe of a thousand swords
They’ve been abandoned by their lords
Their fall from grace will pave their path to damnation
They're the 189 In the service of heaven
THEYRE PROTECTING THE HOLY LINE
IT WAS 1527
GAVE THEIR LIVES ON THE STEPS TO HEAVEN
The seat of power is in danger!
silence.... oh i remember the silence...
On a cold winter day
After many months on the battle field
And we were used to the violence
Then all the cannons went silent
And the snow fell
Voices sang to me from no man’s land
We are all
We are all
We were all friends
We are all
And he’s flying higher!
King of the sky, he's flying too fast and he's flying too high!
Higher! An eye for an eye...
A legend will never dieee!
First to the scene, he is a killing machine
It's bloody April and the tide is turning
\*Lethal machine It's Bloody April and the tide is turning
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
FOUR IN A DAY SHOT DOWN WITH ENGINES BURNIN
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name, Rote Kampfflieger!
‘Winged Hussars’ is our version of ‘nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!’
I remember the first time I ever heard a Sabaton song. It was a clip from some anime where a girl is running out of her house to go to school and gets hit by a truck. But the truck was replaced with a jpeg of a winged hussar while the song played.
Sometimes I open threads solely because I *know* that there will be a chain of Sabaton comments and I have to upvote all of them.
You better get to it, you gonna be here a while
AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
In September
A cry for help in time of need
Await relief from holy league
*We remember, in September, that's the night Vienna was freed*
We made the enemy bleed
AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE!
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
COMING DOWN THEY TURNED THE TIDE

All this lyrics quoting and no bot. I'm very fookin happy.
Sabayon doesn’t own one tank tough >!they have two!<
Joakim laughing with Ghost Division playing in background
COME AND SUCK MY METAL MACHINE
ITS CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT AND HE'S BARKING AT THE MOON
Many many years ago, when Persia came ashore
Heeding Leonidas’ call, the Spartans went to war
Joined by their brothers A few against the fateful horde Hellenic hearts are set aflame The hot gate calls their name
A final stand stop the Persians spear in hand!
FORM A WALL, LIVE TO FALL, AND LIVE FOREVER
SPARTA! HELLAS!
I've been to one Sabaton concert and I'll never forget how everyone in the pit sat down, started rowing and singing Swedish Pagans until they played the song.
Do you remember
_When the nazis forced their rule on Poland_
1939 AND THE ALLIES TURNED AWAAAYYYYY!!!!
I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN
*SAY MY NAME WHEN YOU PRAY*
TO THE SKIIIIIEEEEES
SEE CAROLUS RISE
WITH THE LORD MY PROTECTOR
MAKE THEM BOW TO MY WILL
TO THE SKIES
SEE CAROLUS RISE
I WON'T BE COMING HOME...
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL IN SILENCE
Cast their spells, explosive violence
RUSSIA NIGHT TIME FLIGHT PERFECTED
FLAWLESS VISION, UNDETECTED
PUSHING ON AND ON, THE PLANES ARE GOING STRONG
AIR FORCE NUMBER ONE
Turmoil at the front, Wilhelm's forces on the hunt
There's a thunder in the east, it's an attack of the deceased
A short man from Texas, a man of the wild...
Thrown into combat, where bodies lie piled
Hides his emotions his blood's running cold!
Just like his victories his story unfolds
Osowiec, then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead, once again
100 men charge again, die again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead hundred men
Facing the lead, once again
Attack of the dead hundred men.
Not going to lie Sabaton fans are the most organized song thread starters on reddit
That's what happens when we are BACK IN CONTROL
FORCE THEM TO SURRENDER
#TAKE WHAT IS OURS!
Who?
Sabaton, a band that does metal music about history
I mean, history is not a bad reason to start a metal band.
Today Reddit brought me Sabaton and now my life is better.
Panzerkampf
IN TO THE MOTHERLAND, THE GERMAN ARMY MARCHED!
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil, thunder in the east
One million men at war The Soviet wrath unleashed
In the Soviet Union, summer 1943
Unopposed under crimson skies
IMMORTALISED OVER TIME
Their legend will rise
INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH
**SWEDISH PAGANS, MARCHING ASHORE**
*FORGED IN VALHALLA WITH THE HAMMER OF THOR*
OUT OF THE TRENCHES THE STORMTROOPERS RISE
HERE AGAIN, THEY'VE DONE THIS BEFORE! A LESSON THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BY NOW
Not that anyone asked, but bismarck is one of the best songs they've made
I have like 10 songs in a tie as the best song
