Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baptized in fire, 40:1
[Verse 2]
So silent before the storm
Awaiting command
A few has been chosen to stand
As one outnumbered by far
[Verse 3]
The orders from high command
Fight back, hold your ground
In early September it came
A war unknown to the world
[Verse 4]
No army may enter that land
That is protected by Polish hand
Unless you are 40:1
Your force will soon be undone
Undone
[Verse 5]
Baptized in fire, 40:1
Spirits of Spartans, death and glory
Soldiers of Poland, second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
[Verse 6]
The eighth of September it starts
The rage of the Reich
A barrage of mortars and guns
Stand fast, the bunkers will hold
[Verse 7]
The captain has pledged his life
"I'll face my fate here"
The sound of artillery strike
So fierce the thunder of guns
[Verse 8]
So come bring on all that you've got
Come hell, come high water, never stop
Unless you are 40:1
Your lives will soon be undone
Undone
[Verse 9]
Baptized in fire, 40:1
Spirits of Spartans, death and glory
Soldiers of Poland, second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
[Verse 10]
(Always remember a fallen soldier)
(Always remember fathers and sons at war)
Always remember a fallen soldier
Always remember fathers and sons at war
Always remember a fallen soldier
Always remember, buried in history
[Verse 11]
No army may enter that land
That is protected by Polish hand
Unless you are 40:1
Your force will soon be undone
Undone
[Verse 12]
Baptized in fire, 40:1
Spirits of Spartans, death and glory
Soldiers of Poland, second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
[Verse 13]
No, no, no
