Over deze songtekst:
Met de 'Winged Hussars' worden de soldaten te paard bedoeld, oftewel de cavalerie. Dit lied gaat over de Battle of Vienna (de slag bij Wenen) die plaats vond in 1683. Oostenrijk was toen nog geen zelfstandig land. Allerlei partijen deden aan dit gevecht mee, maar in de basis ging het tussen, eenvoudig gezegd, Polen en Duitsland aan de ene kant en Turkije aan de andere kant. Officieel: De Habsburgse monarchie en de Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth aan de ene kant en het Ottoman Empire aan de andere kant. De 'Winged Ussars' was de Poolse cavalerie. Op sommige schilderijen worden de soldaten afgebeeld met vleugels.
When the winged hussars arrived A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die Will they hold the wall or will the city fall Dedication Dedication They're outnumbered 15 to one And the battle's begun Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down the mountainside Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down they turned the tide As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high No escape and no salvation Trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls Plant the charges there and watch the city fear Desperation Desperation It's a desperate race against the mine And a race against time Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down the mountainside Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down they turned the tide Cannonballs are coming down from the sky Janissaries, are you ready to die? We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate On this field you're only facing our hate But back home the sultan's sealing your fate We remember In September That's the night Vienna was freed We made the enemy bleed! Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down the mountainside Then the winged hussars arrived Coming down they turned the tide Storm clouds, fire and steel Death from above make their enemy kneel Fighting, power and grace Death from above it's an army of wings We remember In September When the winged hussars arrived
