Sabaton's, "Devil Dogs"
The Lyrics:
In times they are needed, such times they appear,
When a leader has fallen, a hero arise.
When a leader has fallen, a hero arise.
Why:
Shouldn't it be, "will rise", not "arise"?

That would give them a name that live on to this day.

Sabaton's, "Great War"
The Lyrics:
Where dead men lies, I'm paralyzed, my brother's eyes are gone.

The Lyrics:
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank.

The Lyrics:
It's the nature of time that the old ways must give in,

Why:
Shouldn't it be "that the new ways COME in sin"?
