SABATON haben eines ihrer Videos mit geschichtlichem Hintergrund hochgeladen. Dieses al zu `Lady of the Dark`  vom “ The War to End All Wars“ Album. Inhaltlich geht es um die Serbin, Milunka Savić, die im ersten Weltkrieg ihren Bruder in der Armee ersetzte und hoch dekoriert wurde.

SABATON schreiben:

”This is the story of Milunka Savić that inspired our song Lady of the Dark. Milunka  Savić was a Serbian woman who took her brother’s place in the army. Partly disguised as a man, she would eventually be among the most decorated soldiers of WW1!“

Lyrics:

Who shall be remembered
In the ancient house of war?
All the medals, all those stories
In the alley of the greats

Celebrated hero
Who has wandered through the dark
She stand before you
All that metal shining bright

Lost in time, returning to the light
Bow before, this lady fight for life
(So sister)

Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart (forever)
Break the norm
She′s the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with men
She will fight until the end

Lied to be respected
And to change her brothers fate
Took a bullet, earned her freedom
And a place among the stars

And she served the Iron squadron
Served the toughest of them all
No fear of dying
For the frontline, she was born

Sacrifice, she took her brothers place
War to war, a place where she belong
(So brother)

Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart (forever)
Break the norm
She’s the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with men
She will fight until the end

Don′t fear the reaper
Don’t fear the war
She spared the life of brothers
She’ll fight for honour
She′ll fight for life
A lady goes to war

Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark

Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart (forever)
Break the norm
She′s the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with me
