Sabaton's, "Attack of the Dead Men"
The Lyrics: [Spoken Intro from History Version of song]
"Gas, the ultimate weapon of cruelty, a highly delivery system of a slow and painful death. This time a fortress and it's few defenders would suffer its horrible consequences. Out of the poisonous cloud came an army of men who should already have been dead." Turmoil at the front, Wilhelm's forces on the hunt. There's a thunder in the east, It's an attack of the deceased. They've been facing poison gas, 7,000 charge en-masse. Turn the tide of the attack, And force the enemy to turn back. And that's when the dead men are marching again. Osowiec then and again, Attack of the dead, hundred men. Facing the lead once again, Hundred men charge again, die again... Two combatants spar, Hindenburg against the Tsar. Move in 12 battalions large Into a Russian counter-charge. They'll be fighting for their lives As their enemy revives. Russians won't surrender, no, Striking fear into their foe. And that's when the dead men are marching again... Why: It’s about the battle of Osowiec Fortress in 1915. During which the Germans used Mustard gas against the Russian fortress. However, 100 Russian soldiers stayed behind in the gas to buy time to evacuate the nearby area. The gas and the bloody cloth used to protect from it gave the Russians a ghastly appearance that, when the Germans marched to the fortress expecting no resistance, scared off the 7000 soldiers. This became known as the attack of the dead men. It's a scary topic to sing about.

Sabaton's, "Firestorm"
The Lyrics: [Spoken Intro] But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come back into being.
Nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Warnings of an airstrike, The sirens scream out loud. Warnings on the radio Of what’s coming. Appearing on the radar, A threat from overseas. Planes on the horizon Cast shadows on the ground. Bringers of destruction Are ravaging the land. Fury of the bombers, A force to reckon with. Sets the world on fire, Then turns to strike again. Flames are burning higher, The bombs keep falling. AA guns are blazing As the sky is turning red. Better run for cover, You’ll be quick or be dead. Burn Burn, Rage of the heavens, Burn Burn, Death from above. Die Die, Merciless killing. Burn Burn, Death from above. Carpet-bombing cities And grinding them to dust, Able men and women Will all be victims. Everyone will suffer In the wake of their attack. Bombers show no mercy, A land in ruin. Homes are turned to rubble When the airstrike has been approved. Facing their destruction, Fear the black wings of death. (...) Nothing remains, Cities ruined, turned to dust. All has been lost, Rise from the ashes and strike... Why: This song is about a fierce bombing strategy that was used by the Allies during WWII. A fleet of 730 British bombers appeared over Hamburg, unleashing over 2,300 tons of bombs. Deadly and uncontrollable fires broke out all over the city. Lyrics that talk about merciless killing and death and people losing homes are very scary.
