Sarajevo Letra - Sabaton

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

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 empire cannot let this go unpunished

And the first declaration of war is made

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!

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

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!

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!

The Battle of the Frontiers

Starts in August,

As soldiers cross borders

And bullets are fired in rage

War begins
