About Winged Hussars

The Polish Hussars or Winged Hussars, were one of the main types of the cavalry in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between the 16th and 18th centuries. When this cavalry type was first introduced by the Serbian and Hungarian mercenary horsemen at the beginning of the 16th century, they served as light cavalry banners in the Polish army; by the second half of the 16th century and after Stephen Báthory's reforms, hussars had been transformed into heavily armored shock cavalry. .

Winged Hussars Lyrics

[00:01.10] When the winged hussars arrived
[00:04.96]
[00:26.26] A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league
[00:30.86] 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak
[00:34.13] Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die
[00:41.74] Will they hold the wall or will the city fall
[00:46.75] Dedication
[00:47.92] Dedication
[00:49.38] They're outnumbered 15 to one
[00:53.38] And the battle's begun
[00:54.91] Then the winged hussars arrived
[00:59.94] Coming down the mountainside
[01:05.20] Then the winged hussars arrived
[01:10.68] Coming down they turned the tide
[01:14.71]
[01:19.57] As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high
[01:25.07] No escape and no salvation
[01:29.77] Trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls
[01:35.33] Plant the charges there and watch the city fear
[01:40.01] Desperation
[01:41.54] Desperation
[01:42.61] It's a desperate race against the mine
[01:47.12] And a race against time
[01:48.23] Then the winged hussars arrived
[01:53.54] Coming down the mountainside
[01:58.84] Then the winged hussars arrived
[02:03.91] Coming down they turned the tide
[02:10.27] Cannonballs are coming down from the sky
[02:12.18] Janissaries, are you ready to die?
[02:14.17] We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye
[02:20.99] You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate
[02:23.58] On this field you're only facing our hate
[02:26.36] But back home the sultan's sealing your fate
[02:30.35]
[02:51.78] We remember
[02:52.94] In September
[02:54.83] That's the night Vienna was freed
[02:58.83] We made the enemy bleed
[02:59.78] Then the winged hussars arrived
[03:02.07] (Stormclouds, fire and steel
[03:02.75] Death from above make their enemy kneel)
[03:05.47] Coming down the mountainside
[03:07.16] (Shining armour and wings
[03:07.75] Death from above, it's an army of kings)
[03:10.90] Then the winged hussars arrived
[03:12.66] (Stormclouds, fire and steel
[03:13.61] Death from above make their enemy kneel)
[03:16.07] Coming down they turned the tide
[03:18.24] (Shining armour and wings
[03:19.09] Death from above, it's an army of kings)
[03:21.22] Then the winged hussars arrived
[03:22.54] (Stormclouds, fire and steel
[03:23.03] Death from above make their enemy kneel)
[03:26.11] Coming down the mountainside
[03:30.56] (Shining armour and wings
[03:30.96] Death from above, it's an army of kings)
[03:31.86] Then the winged hussars arrived
[03:34.91] (Stormclouds, fire and steel
[03:36.38] Death from above make their enemy kneel)
[03:37.13] Coming down they turned the tide
[03:38.09] (Shining armour and wings
[03:38.93] Death from above, it's an army of kings)
[03:43.33] We remember
[03:44.27] In September
[03:45.49] When the winged hussars arrived
[03:46.30]
