Sabaton - Defence Of Moscow Lyrics

Sabaton Lyrics

"Defence Of Moscow"

As the Wehrmacht overrun, Russia 1941
They don't belong, we stand our ground, a million strong
We are ready for their strike, face the army of the reich
A million strong, this is our land, they don't belong

Hear Marshal Zhukov's, and Stalin's orders
Defend the motherland, Moscow shall not fall!

Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

Face the volleys of their guns, for Russia's daughters and her sons
All the brave, who stand against the typhoon wave
From the mountains and the plains, come in thousands on the trains
Day and night, they're rolling in, to join the fight

From Kazakhstan to Magadan
Call of the motherland, Russia shall prevail!

Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat

Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland!

Sabaton's "Defence Of Moscow" is an English-language cover version of the Russian song "Битва за Москву" by Radio Tapok, who, in turn, had become popular by covering rock and metal songs in the Russian language. This is the second time Sabaton and Radio Tapok worked together after their 2020 collaboration on the live version of "The Attack Of The Dead Men".

Bassist Pär Sundström explained before the song's release on the 7th of May, 2021, "May 9 is celebrated as V-Day in Russia, the day to commemorate the victory over the Nazis in WW2. This year we participate in the memory of this event by releasing a song dedicated to the brave men who fought in the battle of Moscow. This track was originally written in Russian by our friend Radio Tapok. It's a very strong song and we thought it made sense that Sabaton should give it a try to make a honourable cover of this song. We love to surprise everyone, and this is a great surprise."

A special limited red-vinyl 7" release of this song was available for pre-orders for just two days from the 7th until the 9th of May, 2021.
