LYRICS
Warsaw Rise!
Do you remember when, when the nazis forced their rule on Poland
1939 and the allies turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
City in despair, but they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight they were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets was a sacrifice willingly paid
Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came calling
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call history calling to you
Warszawo walcz!
Spirit, soul and heart in accordance with the old traditions
1944 still the allies turn away
Fighting street to street in a time of hope and desperation
Did it on their own and they never lost their faith
All the streetlights in the city broken many years ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers Warsaw it’s time to rise now
Been listening to them for a while now.
I rock them, Iced Earth, and Sons of Liberty daily.

Just love them.
Discovered them few years ago with their “Attero Dominatus”- phenomenal one, anda “Primo Vistoria”- just great.
A little pendantic correction time now. The Western Allies tried over and over to get aid to the Poles in Warsaw during the uprising, only to be rebuffed by Stalin. Since the Soviets controlled all of the approaches and were actually RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER in a position to help, the line would probably been better as 'Still by Soviets betrayed...'
Independent of the song, which I generally like, I can say that most young Swedes I work with have a very strange view of WW2. They have no knowledge of the accomodations the Swedish government made to the Nazis in their invasion of Norway, and generally bend over backwards to draw some form of moral equivalance between the Soviets and the western Allies.
