Sabaton Lyrics

"The Attack Of The Dead Men"

Turmoil at the front
Wilhelms forces on the hunt
There's a thunder in the east
It's an attack of the deceased
They've been facing poison gas
7,000 charge en masse
Turn the tide of the attack
And force the enemy to turn back

And that's when the dead men are marching again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

Two combatants spar
Hindenburg against the Tsar
Move in 12 battalions large
Into a Russian counter-charge
They'll be fighting for their lives
As their enemy revives
Russians won't surrender, no
Striking fear into their foe

And that's when the dead men are marching again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

And that's when the dead men are marching again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

That's when the dead men are marching again and again
That's when the dead march again

The song tells about The Attack of the Dead Men on the 6th of August 1915, during the World War I. The German army led by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg tried to capture the Osowiec fortress in Poland held by the Russian army. The poison gas used against the defending forces killed about a hundred men and caused others to cough and vomit. Those which were still alive, with blood and vomit on them, counter-attacked the Germans which fled out of fear of their appearance.

The Russian cover version was released shortly after the album's release. The band posted a video on their Facebook page with the message "Our new song 'The Attack of the Dead Men' was just released by the artist RADIO TAPOK, in Russian language! -How did that happen?"
