Vojska Smene - Song of the Serbian ZBOR

I own nothing, all credits go to FBIV. Original description below.

The ZBOR was an Yugoslav fascist party founded and led by Dimitrije Ljotić in the interwar period.
It never had a significative percentage in the elections, but when Germany invaded Serbia in '41, it selected many of its politicians to form the Government of National Salvation of Milan Nedić.
The ZBOR and their military wing, the SDK, initially allied with the Chetniks of Draža Mihailović to exterminate partisans, but in the end the alliance was dissolved and Draža turned against their former allies.
Ljotić died in an accident in '45, and many of the politicians of ZBOR fled to Italy, but were extradited, which led, to be succinct, to the Massacre of the Foibe, along with many other atrocities perpetrated by the partisans, which are never told in any History class.

Lyrics:

Vojska smene novu zemlju nosi,
Silna kao potopa val.
Žrtvom, borbom, ona se ponosi,
Verom u svoj ideal.

Napred drugovi, napred drugovi,
Naše vreme stiže.
Napred drugovi, napred drugovi,
Pobedi sve bliže.

Vojska smene junački se bori,
Dobila je zapovest.
Dušmanina ona se ne boji
Jer je u nje čvrsta svest.

Napred drugovi, napred drugovi,
Naše vreme stiže.
Napred drugovi, napred drugovi,
Pobedi sve bliže.

PS.: THANKS ZDRAVKO! THIS ONE'S FOR YA

PPS: Freely translated in some stanzas, so the translation may not say exactly what the lyrics do, but I assure that the meaning is intact

(Technically by the age of this song it is already in public domain, I think. But anyway)
