The Most Powerful Version: Sabaton - The End of the War to End All Wars 

“Older men declare war, but it is the youth that must fight and die.” -Herbert Hoover

This song hit harder than the treaty of Versailles hit the Germans

I can’t think of a worse war to be in than WW1 granted WW2 had more casualties and deaths overall, but the First World War was started off with Napoleonic era ideals in fighting, combine that with Gas, tanks, flame throwers, artillery like never before and the maxim gun on top of being stuck in slop 24/7 it has to be one of the worse situations for any human to be stuck in, mainly because it was the first of its kind.

Worst thing about WW1. It planted the seeds for the next one.

WHen it's 11 am on November 10th, but your commander still wants glory

11/11/2020 Lest we forget.

This one always hit me the hardest. Because this was not the end. Only a respite. It showed humanity how we could tear each other to shreds but only ensured we’d do it again. “November 11th settling the score. From 15 to 20 million almost half of the dead civilian. A new world will dawn from empires fallen the end of the war to end war.”

So thats what they sound like when you combine the two.. beautiful...

Listening to this on the 102nd anniversary of Armistice Day. Lest we forget.

this war broke many young soldiers spirits and their humanitny REST in peace for the young soldiers died and suffred

Lyrics: Death Hard to ignore One million lost five months into the war Pain Fell one by one Three years remain, it had only begun Unable to restore A map redrawn Unlike what came before The future of warfare has dawned Do What must be done Send off your son Life cut short by a gun Gas Cover the fields Gone with the wind, leaving lethal ideals And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Ceasefire, their forces withdrawn Great War enter Front and center Grand endeavor lost forever (x2) (Awesome Guitar Solo) And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Ceasefire, their forces withdrawn November 11th, settling the score From 15 to 20 million Almost half of the dead civilian A new world will dawn from empires fallen The end of the war to end wars (Apologies if there's some mistakes)

It may be about WW1, but those explosions at the end always make me think of a nuclear war. The real war to end all wars.

I had an Armistice Day Quiz on November 11 for my history class. Almost no one knew what the hell Armistice Day was. As another passes from the end of the, *"War to End all Wars"* the youth of today forget what happened over 100 years ago, the men that fought, bled, and died to give us the world we live in now. The horrors of the trenches in France, the cold of Galecia, the mountains of the Alps, the deserts of Arabia, and the forests of the Balkans. We must never forget their sacrifices, no matter how long it was since the war had ended.

“All things have a beginning and an end. Four years have passed since the first shots were fired. Four empires are no more. The machine of war is resting for now, this was not the war to end all wars.”

The part at 2:28 sounds way better when you combine these. Way to make an already powerful song even more powerful👍

We need a single player ww1 game from sucker punch

This song followed by In Flanders Fields was the perfect ending to this album.

A soldier’s scars are not on his body, but in his mind.

how much can you even do with a song that doesn't have an epic soundtrack version already?

"This was modern war." -Indiana Neidell

Here we are, here I am again, to commemorate the 103rd Armistice Day. Lest we forget.

cant wait for 82nd all the way

How Joachim just opens the song with “DEATH!” Is beyond lyrical and poetic genius. It makes you feel like you were there, and know exactly what happened, and you can remember the name and face of everyone you lost.

Finally some Christmas music

Tears are allowed 3:33

2:28 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad the many atrocities that were committed in the world wars are now mostly illegal among the international community. (like gas and tringle banets).

I didn't think I could love this song even more.

This song shows that epic battles in movies, books, and stories are good, but we have the real deal. The most epic battles imaginable have taken place on EARTH. It also explains that as epic as they may be, war is always terrible. With that being said this song is a banger beyond anything I thought possible.

The haunting chorus really got me

Death, hard to ignore One million lost five months into the war Pain, fell one by one Three years remained, it had only begun Unable to restore A map redrawn Unlike what came before The future of warfare has dawned Do, what must be done Send off your son, life cut short by a gun Gas, cover the fields Gone with the wind, reveal lethal ideals And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn Great war enter Front and centre Grand endeavour Lost forever Great war enter Front and centre Grand endeavour Lost forever And as the end draws near November dawn With losses so severe Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn November 11th settling the score From 15 to 20 million Almost half of the dead civilian A new world will dawn from empires fallen The end of the war to end war

2:26 my man made one of the best parts of a sabaton song even better. i am astonished

Most underrated song... Hits SO HARD🔥🔥🔥

Depression here I come! Great version omg.

holy fuck it doesnt get more epic than this. literally shot up from my chair at 3:34 and started whisper screaming it in my room at midnight

Nov 11th 2022 104 Years since The Great War came to a close

No more brother wars

Scariest part is this war used primitive weapons and strategies. And it only took 4 years to kill 16 million people

This truely captures how apocalyptic the war was

3:34 Powerful, you can feel how much was lost

omg the goosebumps are real!

GREAT WAR ENTER FRONT AND CENTER GRAND ENDEAVOR LOST FOREVER GREAT WAR ENTER FRONT AND CENTER GRAND ENDEAVOR LOST FOREVER

Ohhhhh thanks man

This is a banger

Whenever I listen to this while playing BF1, it somehow becomes MORE intense

How are you not more popular

like say what you want about the brutality of ww2 but I would much rather fight in that war than the trenches of the first.

That's awesome! Finally some good f**king content!

thank you for this.

where do you get your background pictures for these?

Where did you get the audio for the ending chorus without the narration? It sounds fantastic with the fade out!

And I thought it couldn't get any more powerful, damn me I was wrong.

very nice and cool! you should do a powerful version of the winged hussars.

I couldnt even imagine, if you managed to make it through the entire war, you think you are going home by christmas and then you arent, you see combat evolve in 4 years, you watch what one man can do to another, losing your very sanity and soul i would assume. And then you see kids, neighbors, friends, family cut down by guns, gas, artillery. To those men, i hold high regard and honor

War to end all wars yet it ended nothing ripping father's and sons from their families to defeat a known enemy unaware of the enemy yet to appear years latter war will never truly ended but to the fallen may they forever live on in our hearts and minds.

Mein Gott, my ears are crying

Damn, this is epic

Woooo goosebumps

2:11 DAMN IT!!!! POWERFUL!!

3:33 i am barely crying for this one

Love it

Who else is watching on Nov 11?

Wow

¡Epicardo! Que buena re-versión.

This voice with metal solo on 2:40 is over heaven

This some good shiz noce

War is not Hell. For Hell was made in Wars image.

Lest we forget.

May 4th, 2024. Lest we forget.

2:47 is immaculate.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

May Favorite Period of Video: 3:34

This song hit harder than the winged hassars

Hello from 2 days before Rememberence Day

Chess for normal people: boring game Chess for chess players:

As of typing this, it has been 105 Years, 11 Days, and 4 1/2 hours since the First World War has ended. May the near 20 million who lost their lives in that horrible conflict rest in peace, especially those 8,000 people who died waiting for an arbitrary date for the Armistice. WWI is by far the worst and most horrible conflict in human history. Not because it had the largest impact or largest casualties, but because of the brutality that took place. The Trench stories you can hear from time to time were embellished, but very much real. Yes, one person did die literally just a minute before the Armistice was called. Yes, in Britain you could watch family and friends get torn apart by machine gun fire (Pals' Battalions), and yes, the scars still have not healed. So many people died for nothing in that war except the furthering of one side's imperialism or the other. The war didn't benefit them, it didn't liberate them, it wasn't for them. All it was was a boxing match of empires. That was it.

More COWBELL!

the original got age restricted 😭😭

Next rise of evil I think

we need a new version of this for Ukraine. not just a lost generation but an entire country that got used and thrown away.

The difference between this and the first song…?
