This is the English version of the song Poltava by Sabaton. Video taken from the DVD Swedish Empire Live, Disk 1 (No 4). I do ΝΟΤ own any Right of this video.All Rights to Sabaton and Nuclear Blast Records.
Lyrics:
Time has worn the soldiers down
Marched for many miles
In the eastern lands so cursed
Time to make a stand
The Tsar has scorched his nation's land
Nothing to be found
Hunger grasp the soldiers heart
20 000 strong
Listen, excuse for a king
Trust me, this fight you can't win
Poltava
Rode to certain death and pain
Poltava
Swedish soldiers met their bane
Poltava
Sacrificed their lives in vain
Poltava
In the shade of morning mist
Advancing on their foe
Bullets break the silent air
Wasted battleplan
Swedish forces stand alone
King has left command( in this live: "Nothing to be found")
Rule is left to lesser men
Waiting for their chance
Hear me, obey my command
Fear me, or die by my hand
Poltava
Rode to certain death and pain
Poltava
Swedish soldiers met their bane
Poltava
Sacrificed their lives in vain
Poltava
Russian armies blocked their way
20 000 lost that day
They bled the ground
Peace they found
There's no sign of victory
King Carolus had to flee
And leave the land
Leave command
Madness, curse your feeble horde
Fear me, or die by my sword
Poltava
Rode to certain death and pain
Poltava
Swedish soldiers met their bane
Poltava
Sacrificed their lives in vain
Poltava

I wish they'd play this live more often..

[@midinvaerne]

I wish that one day they will play this song in Poltava itself...

[@artofmemory620]

Hello from Poltava)))

[@Junior11111111111]

One of the best songs on their best album

[@Junior11111111111]

Idk why they played the keyboard on guitar though

[@PixelatedSpirit]

Because it was fucking awesome, that's why ^^

[@thelordchancellor3454]

Favorite song off the album.

[@Vezzoli17]

0:00 - 4:04 this is the part where a man cry.

[@user-qy4sv7kf8h]

Привет из Полтавы))

[@Regina_V_Pivnuhe]

Молимся, чтобы все кончилось как можно скорее🙏
Мир вам!

[@chad5240275]

Man, this riff is as addicting as methamphetamine! Great song!

[@boycotgugle3040]

Indeed, pipe up, y'all!

[@phipschi4255]

There's only one thing better than sabaton, sabaton live.

[@vicentesanchezcontreras497]

I've literally listened to all the Sabaton albums and I must say, this is their best song! (or one of the bests!)

[@imglidinhere]

And then you hear people say a STRAT can't do Heavy Metal... Seriously... xD I love those people. I point to Sabaton.

[@Koendabomb]

STRAT? Could you please exlain to me what that means?

[@imglidinhere]

+Odin's Son Do you play guitar?

[@inncredibilis3682]

+Odin's Son He's refering to Stratocaster or Single Coil which is a type of electric guitar mostly suited for other purpose that is not heavy metal ( Most would prefer the Humbucker )

[@imglidinhere]

This is true. To be fair, I wouldn't do metal on a Strat with no humbucker. Mine has an HSS config, so there's a little leeway for playing heavier stuff. If I wanted to play heavy metal on a single coil, I'd probably go for a Telecaster instead in all honesty.

[@sergejmiladinovic1181]

Listen to these songs by the band Rainbow:
Stargazer
Light in the Black
Gates of Babylon
Long Live Rock and Roll
Kill The King
Ariel
All of these are played on a strat...

[@rasmuskock8077]

Sounds better than the studio recording

[@skilletismylife1052]

Great song

[@KuldneKotkas]

Swedish version is a lot better

[@brothersofthetrident2647]

No it's not

[@BlatteSvartskallsson]

Svenska versionen är bäst, för fan!

[@laddiewink9895]

It depends if you speak Swedish or not. I don't understand a word of it as an English guy so I prefer English version. Swedish version is still banging though.

[@BlatteSvartskallsson]

@@laddiewink9895 when I heard Swedish for the first time, without understanding a word, I just fell in love immediatelly with its enchanting sound. Learned it in 2 month, but still in love like the first time, though it happened so many years ago.

[@vicentesanchezcontreras497]

I listen this with 1.25 o 1.5 speed, sounds awesome!

[@crazy_raccoon_photography8719]

I just tried your idea, it sounds way to fucking nice.....

[@vicentesanchezcontreras497]

hahahaha yeah! Now the normla speed is to slow for me xD

[@xanderwusky3001]

Got to say that it sounds better then i expected. I love this song though, still prefer the normal speed. (I listen medolic death metal as well so i do like fast music but sometimes im in the mood for some sabaton)

[@birdbranch]

Bästa låten på skivan. Live versionen är en Mycket bättre version än cd.

[@jussieronen3707]

I agree, this performance sounds good, propably because Jocke is having fun and is putting everything he has to this.

[@birdbranch]

Ioannes Elia i like the drummers hi-hat sound in the refrain.

[@darvinblack7599]

Lol, he messed up in the second part.

[@trueTomi]

man the crowd is so lazy, if I were there I would party my ass off

[@BlatteSvartskallsson]

Bevara Sverige Svenskt! Leve Calle Dussin!
