Sabaton Poltava (English Lyrics)

Tekst piosenki

Time has worn the soldiers down
Marched for many miles
In the eastern lands so cursed
Time to make a stand

Tasr has scorched his nation’s land
Nothing to be found
Hunger grasps the soldiers heart
20,000 strong

Listen excuse for a king
Trust me, this fight you can’t win

[Chorus]

(Poltava)
Rode to certain death and pain
(Poltava)
Swedish soldiers met their Bane
(Poltava)
Sacrificed their lives in vain
(Poltava)

In the shade of morning mist
Advancing on their foes
Bullets break the silent air
Wasted battle plans

Swedish forces stand alone
King has left command
Rule is left to lesser men
Waiting for their chance

Listen, obey my command
Hear me, or die by my hand

[Chorus]

Russian armies blocked their way
20000 lost that day
They bled the ground
Peace they found

There’s no sign of victory
King Carolus had to flee
And leave the land
Leave command

Madness, curse your feeble horde
Fear me, you’ll die by my sword

[Chorus]x2
