Sabaton
Lady of the Dark (History Edition)
[Narrative Intro]
When a young woman from Belgrade took her brothers identity to join the army, she did not only save her brother, but also started a legendary journey. Brave as few, she became the most decorated female soldier of the war. But humble as her heart, she silently slipped into the dark when the war was over. Many years later at a ceremony, she finally еmerged alongside hеr fellow veterans; and much to the surprise of the mainly male veterans, she had more medals than most of them

[Verse 1]
Who shall be remembered
In the ancient house of war?
All the medals, all those stories
In the alley of the greats

Celebrated hero
Who has wandered through the dark
She stand before you
All that metal shining bright

[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in time, returning to the light
Bow before, this lady fight for life
So sister

[Chorus]
Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart
Forever break the norm
She's the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with men
She will fight until the end
[Verse 2]
Lied to be respected
And to change her brother's fate
Took a bullet, earned her freedom
And a place among the stars

And she served the Iron squadron
Served the toughest of them all
No fear of dying
For the frontline she was born

[Pre-Chorus]
Sacrifice, she took her brother's place
War to war, a place where she belongs
So brother

[Chorus]
Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart
Forever break the norm
She's the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with men
She will fight until the end
[Bridge]
Don't fear the reaper
Don't fear the war
She spared the life of brothers
She'll fight for honour
She'll fight for life
A lady goes to war

[Chorus]
Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Raise your hand
For the lady of the dark
Soldier with no will to kill
With a philanthropic heart
Forever break the norm
She's the girl in uniform
Fighting side by side with men
She will fight until the end
