    ========= White Death LYRICS ==========
    Almost night, a crimson horizon painting thousand lakes red
    As your army approach from the east, a hunter is switching his prey
    All alone, a man with his gun wanders into the wild
    Tracks you down, you cannot hide once he is on to your trail
    Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way
    The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun
    You’re in the sniper’s sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
    You’re in the bullet’s way, the White Death’s prey, say goodbye
    After the dawn when morning has broken, snow once white turned to red
    Blood red snow tells what happened last night, a tale of a sniper is born
    Snow in mouth hiding his breath, he is steady at hand
    Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come
    Hundreds of kills. a man and his rifle embody the sisu of finns
    Stay out of sight and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you’re dead
    You’re in the sniper’s sight
    SNIPER’S SIGHT!
    You’re his first kill tonight
    FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    SAY GOODBYE!
    Hundreds will fall by his gun
    You’re in the sniper’s sight
    SNIPER’S SIGHT!
    You’re his first kill tonight
    FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    SAY GOODBYE!
    White death is coming for you
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Simo Häyhä achieved up to 505 confirmed sniper kills during the Finnish Winter War. He was nicknamed ‘White Death’ by the Soviets and was deeply feared.

      That's not dedication or diligence, it's self corrective. Dedication and diligence would have not made such a whopping error that you call small, but the comment sections went nuts over, so not so small. As the other guy said here, their self admission is easy to see.
      They are rockers first and foremost, not historians. Those in charge of the history and the art got a woodshed moment, and we are lucky enough they cared to fix it. However, let's be real, a re-upload means plenty of more views too. So in the end it works for them twice, and against once, so still a win.

    Simon Hayha was a small man, just a bit over five feet. A brave warrior, doesn't seem to have been much for hand to hand combat, but he was a beast for long range sniping. He was a farmer who honed his skill hunting animals to feed his family. When his country was threatened by the Russians, he stepped to the fore. From what I've read, he was a gentle man who took no pleasure in killing, but did what had to be done.

He commanded one of the most decorated units and housed Simo in his own command bunker. He was known as person who would not break and his men would have followed him to hell and back Simo included.

    Post war, Hayha lived on a farm where he liked to hunt moose and breed dogs. Apparently he didn't really like to talk about the war much and suffered from loneliness and fear attacks, especially at night.
    I wonder if he suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Even knowing you have to do it to protect Finland, taking 500+ lives must've been pretty affecting mentally.

I was told it simply meant "heart" or "courage."

    Fun fact, Simo Häyhä had as many kills with his Suomi KP/-31 smg as he did with his rifle, so he was also devastating when out with his squad, not just as a sniper

    **Takes explosive bullet to the face and passes out**
    **Wakes up in hospital**
    Doctor: "Sir, you've won."
    Häyhä: "The battle?"
    Doctor: "The war."

    And to think this man shot an enemy sniper through their scope. Really gives the line "Eye to eye, target in sight" a lot more meaning.

    The book about him is great, very repetitive, but still very cool to read actual interviews conducted by the author, makes you feel like you met simo. And lots of pictures of the lad. I have alot of respect for simo.

    Who does listen to this song after Finland became the 31st member of the NATO?

    Simo Reports hundreds of kills without a spotter.
    Spotter reports double the estimate.
    What a soldier

    Sabaton went out of their way just to remove his scope and make him look even more badass

      In reality he really did not use a scope since it could give away his position

      He actually didn't use a scope since it could cause glint or the glass would completely freeze up because of the cold. Makes him even cooler
