Biography:
Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun. The band's main lyrical themes are based on war, historical battles, and acts of heroism—the name is a reference to a sabaton, knight's foot armor. The armor and battle theme is heard in the albums Primo Victoria, Attero Dominatus, The Art of War, Coat of Arms, Carolus Rex, Heroes, The Last Stand, and The Great War in which most of the songs contain these motifs. Their latest album, The Great War, was released on 19 July 2019, with the songs all being based on World War I.

Dm Bb C Dm
News that came that morning told that the main force had been slain
Bb F C
Chance for peace and justice gone and all talks had been in vain
Dm Bb C Dm
A prince had been offended and he has gone the path of war
Bb F C
Now that 1500 men are dead and the Zulus at the door
[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Bb Gm
A hostile spear, a new frontier, the end is near
F C
There's no surrender
Dm Bb Gm A
The lines must hold, their story told, Rorke's drift controlled
[Verse]
Dm Bb C Dm
Later on that fateful day as they head towards the drift
Bb F C
Stacking boxes, fortify, preparations must be swift
Dm Bb C Dm
Spears and shields of oxen hide facing uniforms and guns
Bb F C
As the rifles fire, echoes higher, beating like the sound of drums
[Pre-Chorus]
