========= Soldier Of Heaven LYRICS ==========
I won’t be coming home
I won’t be going anywhere
I will guard this post forever
Here on the alpine slope where I did my final stand I shall remain
Among the ice and snow that binds me to this mountain
A force of nature too strong, sent from above
Where spirits lead the way, the winds will never fade
White Friday, I’ll take the
Stairway to heaven
I’m sky high, when I die
I’ll be immortal
Forever, I never
I won´t return to
Blood Mountain, I am the
Soldier of heaven
I saw the end of war
I watched the soldiers come and go
And I kept my watch forever
So many brave men fell in the battles that were raging down below
I have seen it all but none will hear my story
All of these years I have been frozen in time
I cried for spring to come but here, winter remain
I always dreamed that I would, serve high above
Where spirits lead the way, the winds will never fade
========= Historic Fact =============
High above in the alps close to heaven, in the most extreme circumstances, men fought and protected the borders during WWI. At 23:30 on April 17, 1916, the Italians, who were up against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, detonated 5,000kg of Nitro-Gelatine to secure the Col di Lana summit.

My great grandfather died on the Alpine front in 1915. I love Sabaton and I'm really glad that you dedicated a song to those who fought in these dreadful conditions.
Well...here's a dedication for your great grandfather then.
@nares olivia thats just direspectful bruh
andrea, nel video vedi un soldato che saluta i lgruppo e porta l'elmetto che portavano i nostri nel -15-18
Massive respect to your great grandpa.
Where did your great grand father fought?
INTRESTING FACT: The austrian chief of staff decided to send many hungarian soliders to the italian front (Isonzo, and the alpine) The hungarian battalions mostly camed from the Hungarian Great plains, like the city of Debrecen and the country side, I read a memory book from a solider who remember that back home the highest point he ever saw was the 1-2 meter tall dirt wall which the rail track was on..... Then they sended them to the 2500+ meter high mountains
Bruh-
what was also very interesting about the alpine front is that the first soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian empire who got there had to go up the mountains to the frontline by day and return down under the cover of night and that over and over again till further reinforcements arrived to make italian spies believe way more soldiers where stationed there then where actually there. The forces that also helped to a great amount where the "Tiroler Standschützen" an armed militia from Tirol that still exists today. the hungarian battailions where sent there because they where available and sadly the specialised alpine troops where stuck on the russian frontline at the beginning.
God Bless you all Amen
I mean, it was Austria-Hungary. Competence wasn't their strong suit.
Yeah... my great grandpa actually fought on the Italian front. He was from the Alföld region, wich is pretty flat. Here is a fact: at the Battle of the Alpines the most KIA men were hungarian. Their graves are in Fiume.
In 2014, the remains of two Austrian soldiers were found in the Alps of northern Italy. The following year, an Italian, thought to have died in 1915, was found. While their names are unknown, there are efforts to identify them. While they don't have names as of yet, they are going home.
They are soldiers of heaven.
It's a long shot but, one day, I hope we can say that we've brought all the soldiers and civilians who perished on White Friday home.
@@orphancloud1132 unlikely as the mountain is too perils to make the attempt
@@gamingforever9121 we could most certainly try
god bless
This song got me emotional. I lost a dear friend of mine who loved you guys and got me in to your music. He left one cold November morning for work and never came home due to a truck driver that wasn’t watching where he was going. When I saw the end of the official video with the grave I got really emotional.
He would have loved this song.
Sorry for your loss Khalith.
Sorry for your loss mate.
sorry for your loss , he sounds like a good friend
You got me emotional now 🥺😞I'm sorry. Italian metalhead here 🤘🏻❤
I feel sorry for your lost.
May your freind rest in peace 🙏
Look. At. That. Sabatons music isn’t just absolute music gold, it’s educational too! I didn’t know about white Friday until I heard this song, and I got details from this song and after finishing it I did research on white Friday, thanks sabaton for telling us the tales that our attention couldn’t be further from in the classroom, in a heavy and metallic way.
Well said, brine.
@@coltcobramc7448 thank you. Also, make sure to look at trees every now and then ;)
i thought it was a song about all of those who died in war but were never documented, guess i was wrong
Nothing like weaponizing snow
Lets just hope they make a mini animated video, that tells the history of this song. As judging by their playlists they only have 3 songs, with an educational animation video.
If not for Sabaton, there would be so many stories from history I would never have heard of. And that's what makes Sabaton so amazing: They don't just spread great music, they spread knowledge and tell stories!
I guess you can say that they do a better job of being history teachers them selvs compared to a normal boring history teacher if schools wanna teach kids about history perhaps do it through music as music is extremly popular in it self and can be used as a learing tool wich baisicly what sabaton has proven i lever listen to my history teacher back in school because the normal way was just so boring but untill i discoverd sabaton i now became more intrested in history more than ever and thats all thanks to them
@@nexorider17 I've had pretty good history teachers that have been willing and able to make things engaging for students (like me) who are actively interested in it, but Sabaton has a uniquely wide reach and broad topical base.
So true!❤
No soldiers will be forgotten as long as Sabaton is here. Their tales will be sung and their sacrifice will be remembered
The reason people don't hear the stories is because teachers stopped teaching about them. We have to have little Johnny wearing a dress shoved down our throats instead.
I am from Italy, one of mine great grandfather survived Caporetto battle covering with bodies; tryng to return home, people didn't help him, they were afraid because worms spreaded from his uniform. Another one, wounded and going home, stabbed a comrade in panic in the leg to make him go home with him. Thanks a lot Sabaton, with your songs you make these mine relativaes who fought WWI immortal. You make agreat job, disclosing history with great music. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing this story Alessio
God bless the Italian 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th armies ❤️
@@Sabaton will you make other songs about italy?
My great uncle did something similar. He escaped a Nazi POW camp by pretending to be dead under a pile of bodies. They threw him in the rail car and then on their stop, they threw him out. He ran to an embassy, if I remember correctly. I never got to hear the story firsthand.
Little did he know, his cousin would've liberated him in three days if he would've stayed.
@@TheWolfElder my grandpa jumped from a german convoy in motion and then from a cliff into the woods
The line "I saw the end of war
I watched the soldiers come and go
And I kept my watch forever"
Really hits hard
I remember an article, in the newspaper, a few years ago : in the Alps, a group of tourists had found two bodies, frozen to death, a man and a woman. The autorities thought they were tourists, that were recently gone missing. Yet, when they found their ID papers, it happened that these two were... a German soldier from WW2, and his lover. The military confirmed this private went missing during a permission, and was never seen eversince. The autorities, then, were able to find his grand-grand-nephews and nieces, and told them their great-great uncle have been found.
“To be truly immortal is not to live forever, but to always be present within the thoughts of men” - Heinrich Himmler, 1927
I’m honestly surprised a man so… evil could utter a quote so majestic. Shows how many were before the rise of Hitler.
You shouldn't be surprised. This is a sentiment that has existed and been expressed for thousands of years.
Same with "death of a individual is tragedy, death of a milion is a statistic" quote by Stalin. Who and when said it is important, but actuall meaning behind the words is what give them staying power.
Well, he himself DID remain present within the thoughts of men, and for the worse possible fucking reasons...
@@arcotroll8530 Immortal is immortal.
“To partake in our crusade is to be... immortal.”
-Some random Dreadnought.
It was on these battlefields that my great-grandfathers and their brothers died. In total, 7 of my immediate family died. Although they were Czechs, they kept their oath to the Emperor, for that I respect them immensely, a good man should always keep his word. Thank you for a powerful song.
My grandmother's older brother died a week before Armistice. Before she was even born. I still have his picture. His name was Otto. A man from a German-Czech town in the US. Even as they were being persecuted due to being from the lands of "The Hun" they still did their duty.
My great-grandfather left the old country years before the war and I dont know the people from your family, but they're heroes to me.
@@hellentomazin6488 Thank you, fortunately most of them managed to start a family, which was not easy, but their lineage continues in us.
@@NodDisciple1 He must have had a difficult time with these roots, but it is amazing that he served his country despite the way he was treated. A true man.
Good lord..
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite sabaton songs
Mine too!
Likewise. The music, the vocals and the lyrics, they all just flow so... elegantly. Perhaps even uniquely so for a Sabaton song. Definitely one of the greats.
Same
Wanna know something sad.
When they say they will be immortally bound to the mountain, they mean it, as the bodies of those soldiers that died on those mountains are still there perfectly preserved as the height and ice keeps them from decomposing.
And it’s almost impossible to even reach them, let alone try to recover them. They stand as silent guardians on the mountain, forever at their post.
@@mikoto7693 It’s just hard to imagine 7,000 (I think) men. They were sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, uncles, and friends.
Many of them couldn’t even be confirmed dead, and were written down as missing or presumed dead. I can only imagine what it was like for the families waiting back home for a soldier that would never return.
Forever bound to keep watch for an enemy that no longer exists.
The line, "I saw the end of war," always sends chills up my spine. Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Well, I know, with being 53 years old, I am surely a metal-fossil - but Sabaton is givin' me sooo much positive vibes. Though I know, that their war-themes are not easy for everyone for sure - but they do so much intense lyrics with historical correctness and they know how to combining coool metal-rhythms with power ... it's just incredible for me :-) So, all the best wishes to the band and the crew - keep goin' your way - it is such a great pleasure to listen and to watch! All the best from germany, :-) I just pre-ordered the album today, and I am am really excited about it :-)
Well..Im 56 so we can form a senior battallion.... :). Ive always been a hardrocker but kind of lost interest in music for a few years (kids and all that). Then my son re-introduced me to metal through Sabaton and Nightwish and its really been a life changer. Rock on \m/ :)
@@carls8286 62 here.
Who cares about age, just rock on we are all here for just a short time! No time to think about things you can't change!
Thank you very much for writing, we appreciate your support. Rock on! 😎
@@Sabaton Wouldnt a song about Emerentia Krakow be really awesome?.. :)
You are the best band of the World! As a Pole I would like to thank you, for singing about Polish history in yours songs!
It means a lot to me.
You have a lots of important songs about War, about Poland(not only), and about history another countries 👍👍. 🇵🇱🇸🇪
Sabaton has such an incredible ability to create songs that are musically upbeat and a joy to listen to, yet at the same time incredibly somber and sad in their lyrical content. Head banging while tears stream down my cheeks is something no other band can make me do.
We appreciate this very much, thank you for sharing it
It's yet another beautiful song all the same. Just like the rest of Sabaton's songs. They all have the ability to stir up a barrage of emotions.....from sadness to anger to pure love and respect at the freedoms those brave men and women gave their lives to pass on.
I remember tracing one of my family tree back to my great grandad. He took a bullet to the throat, all while dragging his wounded comrade back to the trenches. Both lives were saved, although my great grandad was quite funny when he wanted to tell my dad off. He had his voice box removed, so he could only whisper to people when he was angry with them. If you can imagine a man with the usual angry facial expressions and just as you think he's about to yell at you, out comes a pathetic little whisper LOL.
BTW my great grandad was the inspiration for me to carry on as normal until I absolutely have to be carried out to the A&E unit (which is our county 10-30 mile-from here local, but is going to be shut down, so anyone with an emergency case will have to go 50 mile down the road.......by which time they may well be dead by then). It's f**king stupid.
In Wales, our equivalent to your Commonwealth (so Canada, NZ, Australia etc) PM is our First Minister Mark Drakeford.......so your FM would be Scott Morrison, then there would be the MP's for the different regions. Where you would have Dan Slick-Back-No-Balls for the state of Victoria etc, We'd have Stephen Crabb (MP for Preseli-Pembrokeshire, in the UK). A good looking face, but totally of no substance when it comes to working for the people.
Substance is the key. If I was an MP, I'd only be taking my expenses......not my salary, and definitely not the amount it would take to have me in the HoC (House of Commons). As you can gather, the HoL would mean the House of Lords. There's only a very elite few I would consider as worthy as holding the position of the title.
Yeah, especially songs like "Cliffs of Galipolli" or "A Lifetime of War" (especially in Swedish).
That is absolutely how I feel. This song takes me from the absolute heights of emotion to the depths of emotion. I want to cry for the loss and celebrate for the eternal glory they achieved.
@@robertbruce601 I understand that. A part of me is sad that they died up there and can never be brought home for a proper sendoff. And yet another part of me feels there is a sort of poetic honour for the soldiers that were loyal and tough enough to travel somewhere so remote and inhospitable for their country now rest beyond the reach of the living.
Sabaton consistently goes out there and crushes it. 10/10
@nares olivia Bruh
11/10
5/10 This sounds like any Sabaton song.. Nothing new! i was excited but nope... Its true! If you heard one song! You literally heard all. I mean Any band can make this song
@@metalcrusader6662 like to see you try
@@bhhoffical did i say i had a band?
As a descendant of a soldier who fought in the front through the alps, thank you for singing about this. The conditions are still fresh in our minds(my ancestor fought on the Austro-Hungarian side as we're from Slovenia). The conditions were impossible and the artillery strikes commonly triggered snow avalanches which covered many soldiers from both sides. It was so terrible that if I remember correctly they seized fighting just so no one would be lost in them. Digging trences into hard rock was hard work.
Hi, guys! This song made me cry! Especially when you realize that the poor bastards who died on the Alps have never been completely recovered & will be trapped there for practically ETERNITY! THANKS AGAIN, SABATON, FOR THIS WONDERFUL SONG! If you're up for requests, then may I request you make a song about the 10th Battalion Combat Team of the Philippine Expeditionary Force TO Korea (PEFTOK) & their participation in the Battle of Yultong during the 1950-1953 Korean War? If you look it up on CZcams, I'm pretty sure you'll find lots of INTERESTING material for your next song! I mean, you guys did 2 songs about Japan, right? Why not the Philippines next? Anyway, I'll leave it up to you guys because I honor & respect your choices & skills A LOT! SABATON & METAL FOREVER! LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!
How about the peace in mindanao to occur today... Its better to promote peace in that region of Philippines... Especially that Filipino are fond of music and love to sing in a karaoke
well "thanks" to climate change enternity will be rather short.
And now people go skiing on the very same mountain *facepalm*.
The only Japan song I thought was shiroyama? What is the other?
@@tazatom Midway, Shiroyama, Nuclear attack
I hope my headphones aren't going to get bored of this song anytime soon.. been playing at least 20 times in the last 2 days XD
the lyrics, the Melody , and the Message within the song is just amazing :)
We are pretty sure they won't
I hate that I never knew about White Friday until this song, but then again, Sabaton also taught me about White Death, Castle Itter, Carolus Rex and gave my a deeper appreciation for the Christmas Truce
Thank you Sabaton. Cannot describe how much this means to me. I live in the Dolomites in a town that is just at the bottom of the valley between mt. Marmolada (where White friday happened) and mt. Col di Lana ( The Mountain of Blood) and I grew up listening my greatgrandfathers stories about this war, this place is heaven as much as it could be hell. "Fun fact" some years after the war the Mountain of Blood was found with a cross shaped cloud on it, you can look the photo online.

I sorry dor your loss.
My great-grandfather went to this war .. 4 years training, 4 years active in war.. when he returned home after 9years, only the dog recognised the starving beggar at the door :( at every question concerning the war; he cried .. Not wanting to share what he was forced to see and do .. he took the secrets to his grave ... War is terrible ...
My little town in WW1 was used as a support base for the 3rd Italian army in the Isonzo battles, in 1923 my town was named "Poggio Terza Armata" (translated to English it would be like "3rd Army Support") to remember the honor of the 3rd army on mount San Michele.
I'm late, but I have to say this is gold. Sabaton always sheds light on the unknown and unsung heroes, but the White War is something that WW1 historians rarely ever reference, may those soldiers rest in piece.
Thanks for appreciating it
Sabaton was my introduction to metal and I have no regrets because now I have come across some great bands like Nightwish, Amaranthe, Beast in Black. Sabaton still stands as the best in my book though.
It's our pleasure to have you Leland

And the Austrians who fell up there too
@@twilightparanormalresearch186 well, they weren't just Austrians. Slovenes, Hungarians, Croats and more were present! My ancestor who was part of the Slovene troops sent to the front was there. For Slovenes it was different than just being sent to fight for a land who didn't even belong to him. The front with the Italians was directly aiming for Slovenia and so our troops were extremely bloodthirsty and desperate. Seriously I'm glad both Slovenia and Italy are EU members together now. We can leave behind a feud which some people still insist to continue over the city of Trieste and things that happend decades ago.

Я не приду домой,
Не приду никуда,
Буду сторожить этот пост вечно.
Здесь на альпийском склоне,
где я стоял до последнего, останусь
Среди снега и льда, приковывающих меня к горе.
Природные силы слишком сильны, посланы небом,
Где духи указывают путь, а ветра никогда не успокоятся.
Белая пятница, я поднимусь
По ступеням к небесам.
Высоко в небе, когда умру,
Буду бессмертен
Навечно, я никогда
Не вернусь
К Кровавой горе.
Я ― солдат небес!
Я видел конец войны,
Видел, как возвращались и уходили солдаты,
И я всегда стоял на своем посту.
Так много смельчаков полегло в битвах, бушевавших на земле.
Я видел всё это, но никто не услышит мою историю...
Все эти года я был заморожен во времени,
Молил о приходе весны, но зима не уходила...
Я всегда мечтал, что буду служить высоко в небе,
Где духи указывают путь, а ветра никогда не успокоятся...

Bro what happened with these replies
@@speedwheel1807 i have no idea
@@speedwheel1807 some weird bots are everywhere in this comment section
I reported the p()rn bots. it’s on CZcams and their moronic report system to determine what happens to them now.
I truly hope Sabaton does a song about the 100th Battalion/442nd Infantry division, an all Japanese-American segregated unit. The 100th was composed almost entirely of Nisei, 2nd generation Japanese-Americans from Hawaii who jumped at the opportunity to prove their loyalty, with one of their official mottos being "Remember Pearl Harbor". I mention them here because, due to suspicion of their loyalties, they were deployed primarily in the European theater, (mainly the mountains of Italy) with one of their most famous exploits being their capture of Monte Cassino after being ordered on what was effectively a suicide mission, then the rescue of the Texan "Lost Battalion" where they lost several men for each man they ultimately rescued. Last I checked, the 100th remains the most decorated unit in US military history, largely due to so many purple hearts being issued to men used as cannon fodder.

The Alps of WWI show who really runs the world.
I was absolutely hyped out of my mind for this song from the snippet and you certainly didn't disappoint, definitely one of my favourite songs from you guys! Up there with attack of the dead men, fields of verdun and Bismarck!
So you only know the recent ones?

Anyway, their best song about WWI is still the Price of a Mile, cause that's WWI
@@85blutch That's alright everyone is entitled to their opinion but I can agree with you, I'd love them to make more songs about the French in ww1 because they were part of the Entente, one of the three big players for the allies and they got like one song??

Price of a mile is also another good one!

While based on a specific event, without context, it seems a song about those soldiers from all nations and country who perished, or never returned home.
War is a cruel thing, and, with little exception, those who died fighting them did not deserve their lives divorced from the earth.
Let all those who have fought with honor and dignity find a measure of harmony in their rest forevermore, and their spirits make peace among all others who have passed in the line of duty, regardless of the banners and borders that once divided them in the life that came before.
Great song as always, greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Italian heroes deserve this song.
🇧🇷🇮🇹👍🏻
"there is no way a metal song can make you cry"
*"Observe"* **says while sobbing**
F for the Soldiers who never came home
The war in the alps was exceptionally brutal when it’s freezing cold ad at any time a shell could start an avalanche, plus the rocks would splinter from gunfire causing more shrapnel being flung in the air. To this day there are men still frozen from the avalanches up in those mountains. This is a really great song also love the retro sound they were going for, great job as always Sabaton!!!
Great song on a little known topic.
On the topic of last stands, I'd love a song on the battle of Saragarhi.
21 Sikhs held back 10,000 Afghans and killed 600 before being killed, in a defiant last stand that bought time for the nearby forts to reinforce and prepare for the attack.
The only battle in history where every combatant on one side received the highest possible commendation for valour, the Indian Order of Merit.
"Sent from above" _LITERALLY_
Just another reason why I love you guys! I’ve never heard of this event in history! So thanks for the amazing music and history lesson!
@Sourav Moni No. I’ve never heard about that
Thanks to people like Sabaton, these people and their stories really will be immortal.
The very first lines of this hit so close to home.
This feels like a personal anthem, and that’s amazing. Good fucking job, they haven’t made a bad song yet!
thats so true
Reading the comments, it seems this song speaks to everyone in a different way. Quite moving.
And we couldn't be happier!
@@Sabaton Glad you engage with fans still. Keep being awesome
It's believed that over 10,000 people (mostly Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers) died from avalanches in the Alps in the month of December 1916, with 2,000 deaths on White Friday alone. Sabaton brings so many forgotten stories and the soldiers involved back into the light where they belong. This is a fantastic tribute to soldiers who endured the closest thing possible to a frozen hell.
Can't lie, this song has grown on me A LOT. I went from not liking it much, to loving it
As of recent some of the best sabaton songs are growers honestly.
World War One’s Italian front was the most ghastly theatre of the whole war. Trench warfare, vertical, in the cold and with thin air. Hundreds of thousands of Italians attacking the same fortified Austrian mountain posts over and over, never able to reach the guns cutting them down. RIP, Austrians, Hungarians and Italians; Soldiers of Heaven.
I love y’all! My number 1 spotify playlist for all of my highschool and college life!
Idea for Sabaton:
They should release their songs the day the event happened. If it's about a person, they post the song on that person's birthday.
Just an idea I thought would be cool
they sorta did that with Livgaret to celebrate 500 years of it's existsance.
Great idea, but id prefer the release date on the Death date. Its a bigger mark than a birth i guess :)
They kinda did that with this song. Yes, they didn’t release the song on White Friday (which was December 13th), but they did released it on a Friday
How would this work for an event/battle like this here, that went on for months/years? Christmas truce is quite obvious, but this song isnt about one particular day, the alpine war went on for years.
@@535phobos white friday is what this song is based on.
Pretty horriffic if you look it up, both sides made avalanches with artillery which caused arounf 15 000+ casualties
"I saw the end of war" is such a powerful and hopeful line, and I do hope that one day some live to see the end of war
The Frozen throne of a soldier that keeps watch forever
To those who never made it home, you may you rest in peace
You guys should make a song about the siege of jadotsville. It would be an epic song
Bro on their official site there is a page to suggest songs ;)
@@sgrizzo48 then we shall release the spam
@@christianboi2142 ??????
@@sgrizzo48 just did it
@@sgrizzo48 what is its name
My respects to the Italian and Austro-Hungarians who fought and died on the Alpine front.
for some reason this gives me more immortal vibes than Unkillable Soldier
probably because of the lines about seeing it all and being frozen in time
but yeah this gives me the image of an immortal man who has been around for centuries or millennia and has been through many a war
On the 13th December 1916, 270 Austro-Hungarian soldiers perished in an avalanche on mount Marmaloda, after both sides reportedly used artillery on the frozen peaks in attempt to bury each other in snow. 51 of the 321 men in the barracks survived.
230 of the soldiers who died are still buried in snow, presumably preserved like Ötzi the Iceman, who died in a similar avalanche in the same mountains after fighting other men.
10000 men on the Italian front died in avalanches that winter, crushed beneath snow, freezing rock, and ice.
Привет из Беларуси,спасибо вам за вашу бесподобную музыку,вы лучшие!👍🔥
The only issue with this song is that It ends
War Causes Pain
pain knows no borders
Heroes and Vets
all side bring it home
those left in the snow
will haunt eternity until the final journey beckons
and the light welcomes one home
Another badass song! I love your style of basically giving a history lesson on battles through music. My late grandfather was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in ww2 because when he and his men were approaching Luxembourg and disarming land mines (he was a combat engineer), the mounds of what they thought was just ground turned out to be nazi bunkers. Nazis opened up on him and his men and they all took cover but he knew they had to move so he ran towards the bunkers and tossed his grenades in and killed the nazis. He told my mom he isn’t worth of the Distinguished Service Cross because he lost a 3rd of his Platoon that day. He was a First Lieutenant in the 135th combat battalion.
The crazy thing is that the alps have such a rich history of combat that this song doesn’t only tell the tale of a soldier from WWI. Perhaps it can even be thought of as a story from the view from one of Hannibal’s soldiers who made the dangerous journey over 2,000 years ago…still entombed high up in the ice
Rest easy spirits, you did your part, and thank you for your service.
France, Germany and Britain: "The western front is hell, there is no more terrifying frontline"
The Italians and Austro-Hungarians dying miserable deaths up high in the mountains: "Yeah, about that.."
The lyrics hits hard
I love the synth in this song. It makes the whole song feel shaky... like an avalanche.
Thank you, Sabaton, for immortalizing the stories that should be remembered. I knew almost none of them, yet now I will never forget.
Without a doubt, you guys are the bards of the 21st century. Singing tales of great heroes from ages past and telling stories that need to be remembered... And judging by some of the wild, amazing, and tragic stories you already dug up... I look forward to seeing if you give WWI as many albums and songs as you gave WWII. So many stories to tell that just get glossed over...
Thank you for your words!
Finally the song that tell the story of my grandfather
Love when they sing in first person, it's getting much more emotional. Thank you.
Thanks for the lyrics one! We love you! I also love the art. You even learn history. I am a history nerd and I love metal, this band though. I love it too much! Every song type, either a music video, lyrics video or a music one. It will still be top quality! Keep doing what you do! Rock on!
@Celsea--💞 shut up your ruining the vibe
Dont do stuff like that lenka and Cealsea.
Bless you Ikeawolf! I think the same!
@@acatnamedbobbie3595 im going from comment to comment reporting those
This band's songs always make me feel chills.
Their music always gives me chills. Sabaton all day!
This gave me goose bumps and my heart just started beating so fast because these lyrics are so haunting
I absolutely love this song, one detail though
It ends.
Just because the War is over, doesn't mean its soldiers stopped fighting it...
Im left without worlds,amazing! Greetings from Slovakia!
Thank you for the songs that you produce. When we forget those who have fought on either side of a conflict, we do ourselves a disservice as well as cheapening the ideals that good men and women have laid down their lives for. War should always be a last resort. After it is necessary, however, then we shame ourselves if we forget those who stood the line.
This is one of the most emotional songs I've heard since The Christmas Truce. You guys have outdone yourselves yet again!
One of my favorites off of this album! Such a rousing, yet somber and eerie sound.
what i love about sabaton is that i like music and history and there songs messages are really strong doesn't glorify war but instead it teaches us about how important it is to rember the men who gave there lives so we could be where we are today
Some people have mentioned it, but I'll give a brief summary of the topic of the song for those who wish it.
White Friday refers to a series of avalanches that happened on Wednesday, December 13 1916. The snowfall the month pervious and the sudden thaw had created a situation where avalanches were likely. Two avalanches struck mount Marlmode, which the Italians and Austro Hungarians we're fighting over as part of the larger first world war. The first avalanche wiped out the Austro Hungarian first battalion, killing 270 men. The second avalanche that evening killed nearly as many Italians.
It is speculated that both sides deliberately caused the avalanches to wipe out the enemy positions on the mountain. The Italians coined the term White Friday after a religious holiday, saint Lucia day. It remains one of the worst avalanches in alpine history, topped only by an avalanche that happened in 1970. It is estimated that in total during the war 10,000 men were killed by avalanches during the first world war.
Recently some bodies of Austrian soldiers have been found along with Italians. They are being shipped back home for full military burials although they are unknown they will still be treated respectfully
i cant get this song out of my head it to good i cant stop listening to it
Sabaton get better the more I listen to them age like a fine wine. You guys are badass
Kicking myself right now for not listening to this when it first came out. I could have been rocking out to this song for months now!
It is excellent!!! Thank you for making such great music!
Rest in peice, your comment got 2 sex bots 💀💀💀
