This song is about the Battle of Tannenberg, otherwise known as the Battle of Grunwald, which took place in 1410 between the Teutonic Order and the alliance of Poland and Lithuania.
[Verse 1]
Mid of July, the summer breeze
Carries scents of blood along
Those times we fear
To lose a dream, to lose a nation
Our strategy, a master plan
Slowly writing history
A genius trap coming their way
Fate will not let us down today
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don't defeat an enemy
I defend what I believe is right
My role in the war is to bring
To my country a glory to taste
[Chorus 1]
Tannenberg, where they lost the game
Surrounding their men
We let them no chance
Tannenberg, luck was on our side
That they never changed their mind
Tannenberg, when I chose that name
I remember the knights
Who fell in the past
Shall this victory lighten their memory
Everywhere, all the same
[Verse 2]
Together as one, in the fronting line
Men are ready for the fight
I know they fear
To lose their dreams, to lose their reason
Falling around one by one
Victims of fate will soon abound
But rules are clear as they see
They can only survive by killing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They don't defeat an enemy
They obey orders we have given
Your soldiers of fortune know
We owe you the glory we taste
[Chorus 1]
Tannenberg, where they lost the game
Surrounding their men
We let them no chance
Tannenberg, luck was on our side
That they never changed their mind
Tannenberg, when I chose that name
I remember the knights
Who fell in the past
Shall this victory lighten their memory
Everywhere, all the same
[Bridge]
Here I stand
Watching the line
There they stand, together
Fall with pride
On both sides
Men are a band of brothers
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But counting the dead is somehow
Changing the glory to waste
[Chorus 2]
Tannenberg, if I had done wrong
I wouldn't live too long, a regret so strong
Tannenberg, luck was on our side
That they never changed their mind
Tannenberg, when I chose that name
I remember the knights
Who fell in the past
Shall this victory lighten their memory
Everywhere, all the same
