1648 - Lyrics - Sabaton

A sabaton or solleret is part of a knight's armour that covers the foot. Fourteenth and fifteenth century sabatons typically end in a tapered point well past the actual toes of the wearer's foot, following fashionable shoe shapes of the fourteenth century. Sabatons of the first half of sixteenth century end at the tip of the toe and may be wider than the actual foot. They were the first piece of armour to be put on, and were made of riveted iron plates called lames.

All of Bohemia set ablaze Stand on their own The road to the city's been blocked, denied To enter the gates, though they tried When Prague was called to arms They fought them on the bridge Their freedom was at stake Stand and fight, the city is burning Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side Did what they could Died where they stood Their city's been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashed As the cannons crush the walls, the city shakes Fear is spreading! Hate increasing! Death And pain is all that Sweden brought Rise and strike back The walls of the city's been breached, reclaimed On that very night, unsustained They did it on their own They fought them on the bridge Their freedom was at stake Stand and fight, the city is burning Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side Did what they could Died where they stood Unconquered city on Vltava's shore Start of the conflict and end of the war Unconquered city on Vltava's shore Is protected by its people And thirty years ago the war begun It has returned to where it started The road to the city's been blocked, denied To enter the gates, though they tried When Prague was called to arms They fought them on the bridge Their freedom was at stake Stand and fight, the city is burning Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side Did what they could Died where they stood Stand and fight, the city is burning Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side Did what they could Died where they stood
