Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Sabaton

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).


Attero Dominatus album at Amazon.com
Sabaton's, "7734"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Once we were new, yes,
But that's not the goal.
The Real Lyrics:
Once we were numerous,
But that's long ago.
The Story: This is what the captions on a reaction video of someone listening to the song for the first time thought they said. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Aces in Exile"
The Misheard Lyrics:
We fall on the Reich with the claws of the eagle
The Real Lyrics:
With the claw of the Reich,
With the claw of the eagle.
The Story: I think it sounds better this way. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Attero Dominatus"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Serniev's head on a plate!

Serve me it's head on a plate!
The Story: My reaction the first time I heard this song was, “Wait, who the Hell is Serniev?!” - Submitted by: S
Sabaton's, "Bismarck"
The Misheard Lyrics:
To rule the waves and lead the Greek Marines
The terror of the seas
The Bismarck and the Greek Marines
The Real Lyrics:
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
The terror of the seas
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
The Story: Yet another reason I'm glad I discovered Sabaton in March 2023. History was never exactly my strongest subject. I'm glad the band teaches about history so I can stop doing dumb stuff like wondering what on earth the Greeks had to do with Germany in WWII. :P - Submitted by: Driftless Warrior
Sabaton's, "Carolus Rex"
The Misheard Lyrics:
See Carolus Rex

See Carolus rise

Thus earning their name, earning their fame

Thus earning the name, earning the fame
The Story: It really sounds like "their". - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Lady of the Dark"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Raise your horns
The Real Lyrics:
(B)reak the norm
The Story: I thought because they said, "raise your hand" they could also sing, "raise your horns", since it's a metal song. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Lady of the Dark"
The Misheard Lyrics:
She stands before you,
Oh, that medal shining bright.
The Real Lyrics:
She stands before you,
All that metal shining bright.
The Story: The lady this song is about is the most decorated female combatant in history, so saying, "that medal" makes a lot of sense. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Lady of the Dark"
The Misheard Lyrics:
She's a dirty unicorn
The Real Lyrics:
She's the girl in uniform
The Story: Sabaton's producer thought that was what they were singing. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Long Live the King"

Carolus, rest!

Carolus Rex
The Story: Because the king sadly died, it can sound like they're telling him he can now rest. - Submitted by: Katy

Come on ninja take my hand!

Come on in child take my hand!

Yet soldiers has fallen before

Yet soldiers have fallen before

Sabaton's, "Shiroyama"
The Misheard Lyrics:
It's the nature of time that the new age comes in sin
The Real Lyrics:
It's the nature of time that the new ways comes in sin
The Story: I know the real lyrics say "ways", but it really sounds like "new age". It makes more sense too. Also, his accent makes it sound like "new age", and "new ways comes" doesn't make sense grammatically. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "Stormtroopers"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Filled by the fear in the dead end of his eyes.
The Real Lyrics:
They're fuelled by the fear in their enemy's/enemies' eyes.

(last pre-chorus) That's the price of a mile.

There's no price for a mile.
The Story: I think it still makes sense. - Submitted by: Katy
Sabaton's, "The Red Baron"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Stained red as blood, he’s ruling higher
The Real Lyrics:
Stained red as blood, he’s roaming higher
The Story: I put “sky from above” instead of “stained red as blood” by mistake. - Submitted by: Katy
