Winged Hussars

When the Winged Hussars arrive

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

And the Winged Hussars arrive
Coming down the mountainside
Let the Winged Hussars arrive
Coming down they turn 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 burried deep beneath the walls
Left the charges there
And watch the city fear

Desperation
Desperation
It's a desperate race against the mine
And a race against time

And the Winged Hussars arrive
Coming down the mountainside
Let the Winged Hussars arrive
Coming down they turn 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 enemies bleed

And the Winged Hussars arrived!
(Storm clouds fire and steel
Death from above made the enemy kneel)
Coming down the mountainside
(Shining armour and wings
Death from above, it’s an army of kings)
Then the Winged Hussars arrived
(Storm clouds fire and steel
Death from above made the enemy kneel)
Coming down they turned the tide
(Shining armour and wings
Death from above, it’s an army of kings)

We remember
In September
