"Where will it end"
Where it ends is with Zyclon B being used after he's dead to kill millions of his own kind, Jews.
This song is about Fritz Haber, a Prussian (German) scientist who's legacy is very controversial. Haber (along with another scientist named Carl Bosch) found a way to solve one of the major issues plaguing humanity and science up until that point in time, that is how to sustain the worlds ever expanding human populations (as the Earth does not have enough nutrients present naturally in the soil for us to produce that much food). His work into this topic led him to create the process by which ammonia is synthesized, a key ingredient in fertilizers (it is estimated in some studies that our current global population levels could potentially be between 4-5 billion people lower if not for this). He was however a patriotic German, and when the first world war broke out, he actively used his skill set to research and create chemical weapons for the war effort (with Germany being the first to use such weapons, such as chlorine gas). He personally directed these efforts during the war and showed no remorse for creating such terrible weapons after the wars end. Furthermore, the pesticide Zyklon-A (which he created) was slightly modified after his death in 1934 by the Nazi's (whom had come to power in Germany at that point in time) who co-opted his work, and turned into Zyklon-B (the agent used to kill millions of Jews in the gas chambers during the Holocaust), thus one could argue making Fritz partially responsible in a way for this (even if he himself was Jewish and was not in Germany at the time). He therefore saved billions and also led to the deaths and injury of thousands, if not millions of others. His story truly exemplifies the truly duel nature of most people in history, being both a sinner and a saint. A tragic tale in the most literal sense of the word.
It's amazing to think about, but yeah BOTH this guy's main inventions are used to this day. It's estimated that the global population would be several billion people fewer & large scale famine more frequent without the Haber-Bosch process and the fertilizer it helps in creating. Also as you mentioned, mustard gas(invented by Dr. Haber) is still used today as well on soldiers & civilians alike.
He was Sinner, Saint, Scientist & Patriot.
It was chlorine gas he invented, and Cyklon-A that the Nazis refined to Cyklon-B after his death.
Great song, I suggest you do Sabaton history episode on this song, it really gives you something to think about. If you don't want to hear clips from the song before you react to it, best way is to check out sabaton History episodes after you hear the song, maybe back-to-back reactions?
Yeah my plan is to do the song first then the history so I am not caught off guard. It might be reverse where people want to hear the history then the song, but for me the way I look at lyrics, can I envision the points before hearing the actual stories? I have Father on my list as I try and catch up so I can do the back to back
This song gave me an eery feeling when I first heard it and it still does. Like you said, it's dark. That goes for the music, the way Joakim sings this and the lyrics. It really fits the subject of this song, which is of course horrible. I like the song though.
Yeah very dark, but again when you're an artist with a subject like this (not that many do it) you have to be careful how you do this. They again show their talent and match the subject without losing touch of their music.
A couple of my favorite war related songs to suggest, "Hell broke Luce" by Tom Waits. And "1916" by Motorhead. Avatar's "Bloody Angel" seems to be influenced by "Schindler's List".
In times of peace he belonged to the world, but in times of war he belonged to the Fatherland.
Very nice again! I really like the way you elaborate the Songs as a whole
Thank you, it is my favorite thing to do. ty for appreciating it
Great growl and harmonies.
