Elvis Presley "Chronic non-specific pain"
After a fall he suffered on March 9, 1967, which brained him, Presley found himself forced to cope with chronic non-specific pain, and all the drugs he took in his last years were designed to take the edge off that pain. As he developed tolerances to them, that pain became progressively more problematic for him.

Elvis Presley "Various genetic diseases and deformities"
Because at least two of his ancestors were closely related, Presley struggled against various genetic diseases and genetic deformities that, even leaving all his heavy drug consumption out of the equation, had already doomed him to an early death at a comparatively young age retroactive to before he was even born.

"Wehrmacht" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Pulled into war to serve a vision
That's supposed to last a thousand years.
Part of a machine unstoppable,
As merciless as tidal waves.
Were they the victims of the time,
Or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the Reich,
Masterful machine.
Time and again, the battle rages on
Beyond the gates of misery.
As casualties rise and millions die around them,
Did they see it all?
Crazy madmen on a leash,
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times...
(later) Pulled into war to serve a vision
That just didn't last a thousand years.
Part of a machine
Though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves...
That's supposed to last a thousand years.
Part of a machine unstoppable,
As merciless as tidal waves.
Were they the victims of the time,
Or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the Reich,
Masterful machine.
Time and again, the battle rages on
Beyond the gates of misery.
As casualties rise and millions die around them,
Did they see it all?
Crazy madmen on a leash,
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times...
(later) Pulled into war to serve a vision
That just didn't last a thousand years.
Part of a machine
Though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves...
Why They're Misrhymed:
There aren't any rhyming lyrics in the whole song, apart from 1 in the chorus.

"Wehrmacht" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine.
Lethal grand design,
What about the men executing orders?
Form the Wehrmacht's spine.
Lethal grand design,
What about the men executing orders?
Why They're Misrhymed:
The last line of the chorus doesn't rhyme. The ending chorus leaves off the words, "executing orders."

"Far from the Fame" by Sabaton
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Home,
Siblings sent to their death,
His wife paid the ultimate price.
Still,
As the war rages on,
You are our guide.
Siblings sent to their death,
His wife paid the ultimate price.
Still,
