Sabaton - A Lifetime Of War (Lyrics English & Deutsch) 

Hey i like that one.

Not much of a proverb. Its too direct.

@@sudanemamimikiki1527 That same place usually being a box in the ground, yes? I feel like that's what it means. No matter who you are, how "important" or "great" you seem, no one can outrun the hands of time. Death comes for all, in the end.

@@sudanemamimikiki1527 Well, not with chess. I was referring to people. No matter how rich you are, or how poor, or whatever, death is inevitable for everyone. We're all the same in the end.

@@sudanemamimikiki1527 It wasn't my intention to split hairs, I was just saying what it made me think of. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My apologies.

feminist cry

Sabaton is the best and make us understund whath was the war back then keep it going sabaton

I never knew about em untill I gave em a try a few months ago. Now my fav song is by them. Keep it goin sabaton

"It's true that sometimes we have to kill. But our real mission is to save lives..."

Hmm the songs describes war true but to really feel the war you need to be there yourself. i see the sabatons songs as good memories of my fallen brothers in arms. Germans, Americans, Russians, French, Japanes. they all served there country. they all sufferd casulties. they all weept and bleed. no one is diffrent in war. Soldiers are Soldiers. countrys are countrys. they all fight because they think it is right for them. even if some people was driven by mad men to war.......

dalsenov You're lucky then.

You can/must/should be proud of your daughter....17 Years old....Experience of 200 Years and a VERY....VERY big heart. Wished my daughter will be so...sometimes

Trenton Huebl Did you honestly think that would work?

+Trenton Huebl. why do you even want her daughter's number though

A Brain reasons...

You think this is sad check out "the hammer has fallen" that song is fucking sad

much like ww1 this war served no real purpose and ended with millions dead.

Óðinn There is so much wrong with that. So much.

Tristan Perez "Long Live the King" is pretty sad too

Joshua Powell Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex I agree That's a pretty sad song, but nowhere near this level. The 30 years war, some casualties range the death toll up to 14 million which was something like 3% o fthe worlds population. The only thing that would even come close to this was ww1 some 400 years later which claimed 17 million lives and this lasted 30 years. and Germany was completely wrecked to the core, and it wouldn't be this badly destroyed again until ww2. The Swedish army alone destroyed 2000 castes, 18,000 villages and 1,500 towns in Germany, one-third of all German towns. and in the end, what did it achieve? Nothing! No one really won it. After immense suffering and loss, things were much the same at the end of the war as they had been at the beginning. It did establish that Protestantism would survive in Germany, and that Germany would not be pulled together as a single modern kingdom until the 19th century. As i said earlier, much like ww1 it served no real purpose, They could have ended as a small brawl between two small nations but thanks to foreign interventions broke out to be the biggest conflict the world had ever seen. In ww1 Austria had even made it clear that they were not after lands in all of this, and just wanted to punish Serbia for assassinating their emperor, they wanted to take the Capital, call it a victory and march home, Germany, Russia and Britain made it into a world war. world war two is not nearly as sad in my opinion that served a fundamental purpose as too stop the spread of fascism and Germany's expansions.

It would be good to show how pointless war can be and how it only ends up hurting us more than it helps

@@Valenciaga.CrocHeels but Hollywood would probably just destroy it

It's too foreign for Hollywood. They'd fuck up it and make everyone who knows the real history roll their eyes so hard they fall out.

​@@maximilienfrancoisderobesp202 Well then don't go to Hollywood. Simple.

If anyone has read the early books of the Temeraire series, I think this would make a great setting for a companion series, provided the author tones down the political messages a tad. Don't get me wrong, I agree with the author on most points, but I came here to read about dragons and Napoleon, not a political treatise.

JnBoy8 Good men did do something in this war.. they fought and died because their leaders made them fight.

Dod o How does it not make any sense?

Dod o What? The quote is saying that the only way for evil to succeed is if good men do nothing.

"Good" very much depends on context. Evil does not. Rape, theft, torture, and abuse of power is always evil. This was a war of evil versus evil, just like all wars fought in the name of religion or money.

But if good men do something it's a war

Yes though hard to believe, there was a time when people were kind of normal, but as people grew soft we turned from reason . the many young die for the few at the top. Always was this way, and probably always will be.

I doubt it to be so. There are just degrees of insanity that are more dangerous.

Afraid the answer is no. Considering that the very earliest ancestors of mankind killed each others until only Homo Sapiens remained, the human species have known nothing but war for all of his history

For a certain value of "sane", we've always been sane.

The Thirty Years War was pretty pointless as far as wars go.

+Goraka91 without the 30 y old today Christianity would be almost as bad as Islam

+Alexandru-Adrian Petrovschi Actually,the very use of countries wouldn't exist until the Napoleonic Wars.

+Alexandru-Adrian Petrovschi Not sure about that, but the Peace of Westphalia was also extremely important in our modern day understanding of nationstates.

KarstenOkk​​ Wisemankugel​​ but the importance of the 30y war is not with the definition of Nations, but it's importance is that secularised almost half of an continent instantly,band secularization is just a landslide away from deradicalization, a unique moment in history, never happened before, probably it will never happen again

Man has never been sane

No he’s just become bored

The U.S has only had 15 years out of the 244 of its existence where we have NOT been at war. Peace is rare, war is the norm.

"After the game, the king and pawn go in the same box."

The only modern war that can even be compared to the thirty years war qhere multiple generations can fight the same war. Is the war on terror. 20 long years.... Fathers and sons fighting the same conflict....

It will always be until the end of humanity.

Or just the end of religion and greed.

yeah, becuse religion is definitely only cause of violence and non religious people are always peaceful and nice, right?

Fingerpenislitits What part of religion *AND GREED* do you not understand?

@@fingerpenislitits2911 True but you can't deny that religion in the past and to a lesser extent today hasn't been the cause of conflict. I think it's just human nature to be violent, others live above that nature but some only know how to live by it. I'm pretty sure we don't need some dude in the sky giving us advice in order for us to crack someone's skull open.

"First came the Greycoats to eat all my swine, Next came the Bluecoats to make my sons fight, Next came the Greencoats to make my wife whore, Next came the Browncoats to burn down my home. I have naught but my life, now come the Blackcoats to rob me of that." An anonymous poem from the time.

you have my respect.

Wasn't this boromir? I might be mistaken. Great book.

@@TheMHB199 No it was Faramir, speaking to Frodo and Sam at Henneth Anun. He was speaking of Boromir, and how he and many other Gondorians had begun to enjoy war for war's sake.

If there was a modern verison of this song, the lyrics would've changed from "Religion and Greed" to "Extremists and Greed" (See WW2, Communist Guerrillas, ISIS, and U.S wars for Military-Industrial complex)

The importance of this song is it shows that all sides suffered, not just Swedes

Never apologize for doing the right thing, not when it is as important as what you have just written.

Who's chopping those onions!

That was deep.

The harshest reality is that war never was fun and games like we all see it. Having to come to terms that what you got involved in lead to so much death and destruction is hardest part of being rehabilitated back into society after war

Lest we forget....I have never forgotten

It can relate to all large wars

I remember writing a short essay about how this song relates to Rome and I had incorrectly asserted that it was about WW2 rather than the 30 year war. Just goes to show how powerful this song is

In fact, this song could describe many wars throughout our history.

It's so sad....so many have already forgotten....in 15 years, I don't think more than a couple million will remember

if this makes you cry, try the swedish version. It has english subtitle

+Caedenar Oh it this conflict had been brewing since the early 16th century.

+Caedenar Which traces its roots to one man nailing a bit of paper to a church door

Pilchowski01 which traces its root to one Czech preacher who burned at stake for his believes

Caedenar Which Czech preacher?

Pilchowski01 Jan Hus

nothing can be truer

Piscator fucked up the formatting, though. It should be formatted like this: Has man gone insane? A few will remain, Who'll fine a way, To live one more day? Through decades of war. It spreads like disease, There's no sign of peace, Religion and greed, Cause millions to bleed, Three decades of War.

Purwin Rommel n

you should listen to the swedish version(PIscator also has that translated). The lyrics and their meaning are completely different.

That and "they've been to war a decade, two more to come"

Except it only involved European countries so it wasn't exactly a *_World_* War

Europe is the world,atleast during those times

Wasn't that called Pangea

No im talking about late medieval Europe, poltics outside of Europa was completly irrelevant as Europa dominated the world

@@DraguVert *laughs in ottoman*

Considering there's only like a total of 200 some odd years in human history without any wars, it could just be about humanity.

Ari Tapper there's no year in history without war if you look at the entire world.

paecmaker I thought it sounded a lot like the cold war

Sean Mac it's about the thirty years war between protestants and catholics

I thought this was about WWI and WWII, Fascism & Democracy/Communism (Weirdly enough) and the period is about right. But yes, this works for all of humanity

This song is just so touching

No, but it really makes one question the whole fucking world...

@@jussieronen3707 Mostly the US though. Bombing & nuking Civillions after wwii ends(the fighting part) & nowdays, bombing people because they're bombing themselves.

Hmm no, didn't cry, not everyone has the emotional state of a toilet bowl, so don't try to force people to admit a lie. And there has been no official record of nukes being dropped on civilians after WW2. Also nice anti-US bias there. As we all know, they're the only bad people in the world and every single person from the US is the fucking devil incarnate.

​@@FreedomPuppy you're right but america is definitely in the wrong in a lot of places but yeah they don't go around murdering civillians and what not though. This is from a Brit who thinks that we should stay with America, we fight better together.

CacaPooPooPeePeeShire 2:25 - 2:37 is also another part that just makes you emotional

@@dusan9117 Ive heard people even say 50%, but more likely around 15%

@@sseempire8705 Some areas of Germany had 1/3 of the male population die. From what I recall, it wasn't even the fighting. It was armies roaming around, spreading disease and ransacking food. Back then you didn't have supply lines, you just grabbed your food in the field, which generally meant stealing it from farmers.

Putin: "We got rockets." Obama: "We got anti-rocket armor." Putin: "Yeah, but we got anti-anti-rocket armor rockets." Obama: "Wow, but we can turn invisible."

That's really interesting. It was on of our main history topics in school alongside WW1, WW2 and the history of my country (Austria). => House Babenberg, House Habsburg, KuK Monarchy etc. I wonder how much European History is taught in US schools.

TheItalianoAssassino not that much I'm afraid. And usually when it is it's because America was in a war.

So you basically learn about all the Presidents, the conflict between England and the Colony leading to the founding of the US and the Vietnam / Iraq war and not much else?

TheItalianoAssassino well, we also learn about the world Wars, the civil war, the Cold War, etc. and most presidents we learn about are war time presidents. If you haven't been to America a huge part of our culture is war. We where founded on it and it's been our finest moment. But we learn a lil bit of European stuff like the French Revolution also. Not much though.

Of course, Civil and Cold Wars are two big ones I forgot. ^^ I just find it interesting how the topics discussed differ from country to country.

@Opecuted LMAO

@Opecuted I mean, it sort of proves his point.

I mean he's not wrong but its physically impossible to do. War is in our blood its our nature as a species. We've been fighting wars since we started humans developed societies and will always continue fighting wars until the day the last human dies

@@landlockedcroat1554 no, this song is about the thirty years war between protestants and catholics which started as a result of the corrupt catholic church.

@@mightyelf2660 protestant and catholic are both different forms of christianity

@@landlockedcroat1554 I know this, but they are still slightly different religions and simply saying that christians couldn't live in peace with each other doesn't describe this conflict correctly. People of the same religion couldn't live in peace with each other since the start of humankind. Hellenics fought against other hellenics. Hindus fought against other hindus. Christians fought against other christians. Muslims fought against other muslims.

It will end when one "race" has taken over the world. (or when everyone is dead)

Human's are violent. It's our nature. But we're also survivors. Don't worry, we'll never kill ourselves out, our wars will just get smaller when the cleanse of atomic hellfire kills billions.

Watch the trailer to Warpath (it is a commercial to some stupid game), it is very well made and expressing the same sentiment

Gallipoli by Sabaton makes me cry often too

and unless she's dying

+Edens first Son No, just don't cry

The emotion in this song is way too much, and the wording give it a tone of hopelessness that might make me want to cry as well. The part "When all of Europe's burning, what can be done? They've been to war a decade; two more to come" almost broke me. It's just a bit too much.

"I don't cry but fuck me." No thanks, I only fuck people who cry.

Humanity as a species has never known peace. In fact, nothing in the world has known peace, except plants and other nonsentient life, simply because they are nonsentient.

deffdefying not even plants. Every living being is a product of the endless war named evolution and every single living being fights for survival on a daily basis. Btw plants are not that stupid. They can call in allies, know how to warn other members of their species and they can even evolve tactics how to use their nature given weapons in the most effective way individuelly.

I meant in relation to sentient animals and especially humans. When we say "peace" we mean no blood being spilled for the sake of spilling blood, and we can just live our lives. However, as you suggest, there is always that constant selection pressure on every living thing, so "peace" isn't really "peace" until we're dead

Only the dead have seen the end of war

On the contrary, this is one of the only generation to have known relative peace
