Now the world must listen to our decree,
We don't turn down for anyone,
We do just what we please.
Got to make it louder,

Boasting about how they're the loudest band and won't turn down (like their other song "Kings of Metal").

Insincere Song Lyrics -> Latest Entries
Sabaton's, "The First Soldier"
The Insincere Lyrics:
From the south to the front into No-Man's Land,
From a farm to the end of the road.
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home,
Coming home,
Let his story be known.
From a farm to the end of the road.
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home,
Coming home,
Let his story be known.
Why They're Insincere:
This is a song about a distinguished French soldier, known for his numerous successful missions and capture of enemy soldiers throughout the First World War. However, the line about "the end of the road" is probably referring to when he was struck down and killed by a bus, yet the song is very triumphant-sounding.

Scary Lyrics -> Latest Entries
Sabaton's, "Ghost Division"
The Lyrics:
Fast as the wind the invasion has begun,
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Why:
This song is about the 7th Panzer Division, commanded by Erwin Rommel, that participated in the invasion of Belgium and France in 1940. By the third day of the invasion, the 7th along with three divisions commanded by General Heinz Guderian reached the river Meuse. By the 16th of May, the 7th had reached its assigned objective at Avesnes where it was supposed to stop and await further orders, but Rommel decided to press on. On the 20th of May, the division reached Arras where they encountered heavy resistance from the British forces. They reached Lille on the 27th of May which they sieged until the 31st. On the 17th of June 1940, the division was ordered to advance on Cherbourg. The division advanced 240 kilometers in 24 hours, and after two days of battle, won against the French garrison. The speed and surprise they were able to achieve was considerable, to the point that the German high command lost track of the division and thus they earned the nickname “Ghost Division." Singing about how powerful these tanks were is very scary. They could break through land so easily.

Sabaton's, "Fields of Verdun"
The Lyrics:
As the drum roll started on that day,
Heard a hundred miles away,
A million shells were fired,
And the green fields turned to grey.
The bombardment lasted all day long,
Yet the forts were standing strong.
Heavily defended,
Now the trap's been sprung and the battle's begun.
Descend into darkness,
303 days below the sun.
Fields of Verdun,
And the battle has begun.
Nowhere to run,
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun.
Thy will be done,
And the judgement has begun.
Nowhere to run,
Father and son
Fall one by one,
Fields of Verdun.
Though a million shells have scarred the land,
No-one has the upper hand.
From the ground above to trenches,
Where the soldiers make their stand.
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood,
Death awaits in every corner,
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood...
(later) Fields of execution
Turned to wasteland from the grass.
Thou shalt go no further,
It was said, "They shall not pass!"
The spirit of resistance
And the madness of the war,
So go ahead,
Face the lead,
Join the dead.
Though you die
Where you lie,
Never asking why...
Heard a hundred miles away,
A million shells were fired,
And the green fields turned to grey.
The bombardment lasted all day long,
Yet the forts were standing strong.
Heavily defended,
Now the trap's been sprung and the battle's begun.
Descend into darkness,
303 days below the sun.
Fields of Verdun,
And the battle has begun.
Nowhere to run,
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun.
Thy will be done,
And the judgement has begun.
Nowhere to run,
Father and son
Fall one by one,
Fields of Verdun.
Though a million shells have scarred the land,
No-one has the upper hand.
From the ground above to trenches,
Where the soldiers make their stand.
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood,
Death awaits in every corner,
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood...
(later) Fields of execution
Turned to wasteland from the grass.
Thou shalt go no further,
It was said, "They shall not pass!"
The spirit of resistance
And the madness of the war,
So go ahead,
Face the lead,
Join the dead.
Though you die
Where you lie,
Never asking why...
Why:
Another song not to play at a war memorial or service. A very upbeat song about the Battle of Verdun, the longest single battle of the First World War, lasting for more than 300 days, with over 700,000 combined casualties.
