Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Sabaton
Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.

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"?

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

Blizzard reigned the ground were chosen,
Snow was deep and hell were frozen,

Sabaton's, "Uprising"
The Lyrics:
Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland?
Why:
I think it could've sounded better if he sung, "remember" for longer, rather than the word, "when" twice in a row.
