Sabaton Sarajevo
[Intro]
For decades the Austro-Hungarian empire
Had been a powerful influence in the heart of Europe
Resting on a legacy, their house kept stability, order and peace
But not everyone bowed to this power
[Verse 1]
In the summer of 1914, the archduke Franz Ferdinand of the empire
Is visiting Sarajevo
Unaware of the assassins awaiting him,
And what will come
Two shots are fired and the archduke is dead
The еmpire cannot let this go unpunished
And thе first declaration of war is made
[Chorus]
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Chaos and shockwaves spread from the Balkans across the globe
Alliances are put to the test
Threats exchanged and armies are put on high alert
In the east the Russian Tsar is trying to calm the situation
With his cousin the Kaiser of Germany
But it is all in vain
The situation is out of control
War is unavoidable
[Chorus]
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It's the war that will end all war!
[Outro]
The Battle of the Frontiers
Starts in August,
As soldiers cross borders
And bullets are fired in rage
War begins
