.....whose a highly intelligent, educated man. A historian, archaeologist, rein-actor that is not only well read but actually takes part in, is a current student in, or an instructor in, virtually every topic he speaks on in this channel. I strive to be more like the “guy who just talked about a pair of boots for 10 minutes” then the guy who belittles him for doing so. I think just by watching Lloyd’s video, and reading your comment we can all get a decent idea of which man we’d rather be like or be around. Now I’m not sayn this as gospel, but ima go with Lloyd 9 outta ten times!!
SquidCaps I understand u may not like the band, why do you call everybody around nazis? Aaaaand how is Sabaton nazi? The band that sings about Soviets beating them, and Polish hussars.
As Knight Errant showed, it takes less than 15 minutes to put on a full suit of armour... And as Lloyd showed, it takes 3 minutes to put on a pair of shoes.
I think Knight Errant started with his padded garments and shoes already on and only affixed the metal parts, if I recall correctly. He also had a wife doing the squire-ing.
putting on the doublet and hose and shoes and mail on the doublet? 30 mins is easily gone. the rest of the armour with a good squire? quickest i have done it 12 mins, but it does depend on the set up. having said that, often it is moderated or otherwise delayed. the complexity of the armour design can be quite significant, like the addition of a frogmouth or an ecranche shield. nevertheless this was a historical reality and keeping large parts of the under garments on over night was definitely done, or even sleeping in nearly all of the armour: the duke of burgundy is reputed to have donned his armour every night at the siege of neuss and slept in a reclining chair... 1,5 years... get armour on and get on a horse is normally assumed to take an hour, if you really don't want any screw ups... this is quite critical. having said that i have managed unassited to get a full armour on and get on a horse myself in 21 minutes. there are rushjobs and there are reasonable expectations
MrDinJavel "way faster than historically reenacted mail services"?!?! Way faster than modern operating mail services. Yeah Australia Post, I'm looking at you >:(

Anyone else perhaps more annoyed than they should that his 'bespoke' shoes that took a year to make, were very expensive, and still weren't what he asked for?
I am. That is a massive failure on their part. If Lloyd wasn’t under a time crunch with the armor and all; were I him, I would genuinely be interested in sending those things back.
+Matías Tonazzi I am pretty doubtful about that being the case. I’ve seen that type of shoe without a point entirely. I have also seen ones with the point offset to just in front of the big toe. I am assuming that is what he meant when he asked for them. Also, having worked a bit of leather myself, I am pretty certain that they sat on his order for the months that it took for them to tell Lloyd that they needed more time. Unless they were tanning the leather themselves, there is nothing about making a shoe like that that should take more than 45 work-hours. As I said before were I Lloyd and not in his time crunch I might just see about alterations or something. My local cobbler can resole a shoe where the upper is made of only two prices of leather stitched to the sole in a few days. They guys really shouldn’t have needed half a year to make shoes that the customer didn’t ask for.
On the first part, I don't know of shoes from that period that lacked any kind of point on the tip. All the images and effigies have somewhat pointy shoes, but I can be wrong and there may be evidence for un-pointy shoes and I just don't know about it. Now, on the second part, we don't know the reality of the makers (this may not be their case, but I myself also work leather, and make leather goods locally yet I still have a 8 to 18 job because as for now the leather jig ain't enough to make a living of -one can dream-) and it's only acceptable if they're upfront on the waiting time, which the buyer can accept or not and go to another vendor or maker. As for the point, it all depends on how the exchange went. If Lloyd say "no point", or "rounded tip" or similar, then the maker is on fault and if he wasn't pressed on time, he ought to send them back and get a pair up to the specifications he paid for. But, if he said "with the least point as possible" then it's subjective, and if the maker's catalog has all it's shoes with pointy tips and like me, thinks all period shoes have even a minimal point to them the line of fault gets blurred. Still, it's my opinion and I reckon it's a delicate issue.
I guess you are right. I really cannot speak about the exchange or the maker's catalogue either. It is still clear that Lloyd is not totally happy with his product. I wouldn't be happy about sending a shoe out that didn't meet or exceed the customer's expectations unless I was upfront about not being able to do so. Would want to make %100 sure that the person gets what they pay for. Whenever someone makes a statement that make's not sure about, the diligent craftsman will ask more questions than the customer and gets approval once everyone is on the same page. It never hurts to make sure. Assurance is the best insurance against angry customers. I don't really have the skill yet to make exactly what people wants. Any work that I do, mostly sheaths, is never claimed as custom or bespoke. It just grinds my gears sometimes that people claim to do custom work that only ever falls within a narrow band of patterns and techniques. Not custom fitted, or customizable, but custom. All in all. i guess we will really never know. They are still nice boots.
All embrace me, it's my time to rule at last, fifteen years have I been waiting, to sit upon my throne. No allegiance, I will swear no oath, crowned by god not the church, as my power is divine.
Lindybeige, have you considered adding aglets to your boots? Depending on the period your armor is based, metal aglets would be period accurate, and prevent the dreaded unlaceing of the boot.
I don't know why I am so stupidly interested in the progress of someone's medieval style armor, or half the other silly stuff in your channel. But it is so entertaining the way you do it. Dancing, Dr Who, weapons, armor, fighting styles, tanks. books, performances...you are like the new renaissance man!
Will you use those unbreakable shoes to jump of the cliffs of gallipoli in the name of god after winning a fight 40 to 1 against the ghost division and night witches? Sorry, I just had to, after seeing that thumbnail :-D
For all you posting Sabaton lyrics in the comments here, I have something for you. Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines Primo victoria We've been training for years Now we're ready to strike As the great operation begins We're the first wave on the shore We're the first ones to fall Yet soldiers have fallen before In the dawn they will pay With their lives as the price History's written today In this burning inferno Know that nothing remains As our forces advance on the beach Aiming for heaven though serving in hell Victory is ours their forces will fall Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines Primo victoria On the 6th of June On the shores of western Europe 1944 D-day upon us We've been here before Used to this kind of war Crossfire grind through the sand Our orders were easy It's kill or be killed Blood on both sides will be spilled In the dawn they will pay With their lives as the price History's written today Now that we are at war With the axis again This time we know what will come Aiming for heaven though serving in hell Victory is ours their forces will fall Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines Primo victoria On 6th of June On the shores of western Europe 1944 D-day upon us 6th of June 1944 Allies are turning the war Normandy state of anarchy Overlord Aiming for heaven though serving in hell Victory is ours their forces will fall Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines Primo victoria On 6th of June On the shores of western Europe 1944 D-day upon us Through the gates of hell As we make our way to heaven Through the Nazi lines Primo victoria On 6th of June On the shores of western Europe 1944 Primo victoria The sky is on fire burning black gold Eyes of the west turn to east Driven by greed and an urge to destroy Merciless killing your own Slave to the power a slave to the gold Ruthlessly ruling the east Your reign of terror must come to an end Fighting your unholy war Now you will pay we'll charge you our way Sooner or later we'll get you Don't try to hide in your holes underground Just like an insect we'll smoke you right out Night time prime time Ancient legacy of crime One day we will make you pay for Night time prime time Law and order pays the fine Genocide you cannot justify Chaos in east disorder in west Desert storm is a go Fighters are launched from the carriers at sea Infantry coming your way Armored brigades engaging their lines Regain control of black gold Your reign of terror will come to an end Forcing you out of control Countdown to death we're coming for you Making our way through the desert Soon you will pay for the pain that you caused Captured or dead you will cause no more harm Feet after feet mile after mile Allies regaining control Your cities in ruins a people in need Still you go on as before Feet after feet mile after mile Allies returning the land Hide underground as the coward you are One day we're coming for you Under this sun no shadows will fall Piercing our eyes as we charge An armored battalion on course to the east Closing the end of it's march This time we're here to finish a job Started a decade ago Driving the animals out of their holes To bury them 6 feet below Armored tanks of mass destruction Killers in the east Rats who dares to stand before us Feel our guns go live Death in the shape of a panzer battalion Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion Thousands of tons of armor and guns Making it's way through the sand Our panzer battalion is back for revenge Artillery sweeping the land First strike is ours no mercy is shown There's rivers of blood in our track Breaking their waves of defense with our tanks Infantry watching our back Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike Ready for the storm Minefields swept there's no surrender Feel our napalm burn Death in the shape of a panzer battalion Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion Death in the shape of a panzer battalion Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion Under this sun no shadows will fall Piercing our eyes as we charge An armored battalion on course to the east Has reached the end of it's march Armored tanks of mass destruction Killers in the east Rats who dares to stand before us Feel our guns go live Panzer battalion Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a man Panzer battalion To their own shore, Came the world war. Gleaves and Ingham, Leading the bury west. Took the short way in, The long route back convoy 92. Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading, Tankers to the west.

Deep down below the wolfpack lurks. To their own shore, Came the world war. Gleaves and Ingham, Leading the bury west. In their own track, Came the wolfpack. Gleaves led the convoy, Into the hornets nest. At the crack of dawn the second day, Bury stands in flames. Half the convoy sunk or disabled, Heading back to the shore. But below the north Atlantic, On the bottom of the sea. On the second night in the darkest hour, The kriegsmarine return. The wolfpack surface for a second time. To make the convoy face it's fate. To their own shore, Came the world war. Gleaves and the Ingham, Leading the bury west. In their own track, Came the wolfpack. Gleaves led the convoy, Into the hornets nest. Under fire, Under water. May 42 when, Bury did fail the test. To their own shore, Came the world war. Gleaves and the Ingham, Leading them into death. 569 makes the contact and lead them, U-94 scores a kill in the dark. 124 sinking four in two approaches, 406 suffers failure on launch. 569 makes the contact and lead them, U-94 scores a kill in the dark. 124 sinking four in two approaches, 406 suffers failure on launch again.

I have a phobia A fear of the dark Afraid to shoot strangers The animal talks Guns scare me shitless But love gun's my friend The sentinel's coming But is this the end Riding on this crazy train I'm going paranoid Watch me lose my mind And break the law It's close to midnight and He's barking at the moon The rainbow in the dark is shining It's close to midnight and He's barking at the moon The kings of metal ride the sky Is this saint anger The ultimate sin Or have I really A black knight within The gates of Babylon Are open and wide Shout at the devil There's nowhere to hide Fighting for the world to keep The wild child in it's cage Broke my metal heart Against the wall Hear the rolling sound of thunder As the battle rages on We will tear this world us under Feel our power Through a darkened sky we riding Pierce the night with bolts of light We will find you although you are hiding Under cover We will break through with Thunder and fire Realising an unholy Hellborn, desire We are out of control To conquer this world From a world you broken into From a world unknown to man We release our wrath upon you Holy bloodshed Breaking chains of your religion Worship none or be destroyed You cannot defeat our legion Bleed the world red We will break through with Thunder and fire Realising an unholy Hellborn, desire We are out of control To conquer this world Lightning bolts of anger Raging in your world We uphold the darkness Rulers of the moonlight As you think its over Calm has settled in Thundergods returning Back to rule this planet again Future role of generations Let us rage into this world They'll be trusting our patience Run for cover Hear the rolling sound of thunder As the battle rages on We will tear this world us under Feel our power We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are breaking ground The drum pounding faster than my heart, the vocals are screaming extreme art The passion for metal drives us forth, the best heavy metal comes from north The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience screams in ecstasy Metal, Metal Back with the vengeance Metal, Metal All that I need is heavy metal Metal Screaming together Metal, Metal Metal is all that I need While hell bends for leather we stand strong, a rocker can party all night long the school couldn't teach us rock' n roll, the school couldn't help us reach our goal We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are breaking ground The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience screams in ecstasy Facing the wind as they ride through the sky Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly Black shadow king, find the ring. Search for the Halfling you lords of the dark The hobbit with Sauron's ring he is your mark Unholy light, in the night Black knights of Sauron You're made of iron Black shadows of Mordor Wield one-eyed shields Unholy ring wraiths with armour of steel Kings of the past to no one you kneel Hearts filled with hate, that's your fate. Facing the wind as they ride through the sky Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly Ride shadow king, find the ring. No use to pray, there's no one listening I will die anyway Some say I've killed, some call me Satan Now my blood must be spilled I'm sentenced for crimes I did not commit I'll pay with my blood, is this really it? Creations of God? No way! Burn your crosses, make way for science Christ has only caused death and violence Burn your crosses and make way for yourself Put faith in mother Earth Don't call his name, don't trust in others Bishops fighting for fame Torture in vain, I won't surrender Purified by pain Mankind's great mistake was to create god Creation of man, excuse to spill blood Creations of God?

The dawn of time breaks See the sun rise to the sky The wheel of time begins to turn But then we heard it A divine voice out of nowhere Spoke to our hearts and showed the way Almighty Lord, we have come to your hall Do glatem live, creator of all Open your heart and you will find a way Paradise calling and enter you may (Falling down) Now your soul returns to paradise (Falling down) Double seven thirty-four The wheel kept turning Ages came, time passed us by We lived in perfect harmony But then it happened our ranks decreased rapidly But now it's time for our return Once we were numerous but that's long ago We are no more double seven thirty-four We last two united and two became one One hundred eleven, they perished in flames (Falling down) Now your soul returns to paradise Double seven thirty-four Almighty Lord, we have come to your hall Do glatem live, creator of all Open your heart and you will find a way Paradise calling and enter you may (Falling down) Now your soul returns to paradise Double seven thirty-four (Falling down) Now your soul returns to paradise (Falling down) Double seven thirty-four Clouds are gathering in the darkness Lightning strikes the Earth Evil forces celebrate, Lucifer's rebirth Necromancers, sacrifices, he'll be here for sure Drained blood from a thousand men, and now he's back for more He will rise from a world down under Bringing fire, plague, death and thunder Summons creatures unknown to mankind Demons of the past Unholy rites. Assassins from hell Cold endless nights upon us fell The storm strikes our land with madness and pain Winds of the damned drives us insane Satan's hordes are coming closer, now it's time to pay Riding on the wings of death searching for their prey Now the time has come for mankind to prove strong or fall Fighting against unholy creatures spawned in Satan's hall Trapped in hellfire he was burned Once locked up but the wind has turned Seeking vengeance in pain and slaughter Back on earth again Demons marked with the five-edged star Haunt our dreams in this endless war Killing children and raping women Now it's time to die Once we lived in harmony, but it seems so distance now. Even though it wasn't long ago, were all doomed to Plague and death. Working hard from dawn �til dusk. but That ain't enough for him Product of unholy love, untrue Brother of a king. Know that you'll fail, now hear us hail Your brother that you killed. Hail to the king that brought peace to us all. Rise from Your grave, hear our call. We'll not forget that you once Saved our land. Killed by your own brothers hand. Pure evil and cruelty, the true nature of your soul. Mercy and responsibility, words that you can't understand. Your quest for total control will only end in your own fall. We will fight for our freedom, and our right to live. Do it your way, soon you will pay Debts with your own blood. Stars so bright, dance in the night Day come soon, hide the moon Stars so bright dance in the night Day come soon, killing the moon Morning breaks it's time to march, to the castle of betrayal. Bring your sword, wield your Armour, we won't take this anymore. Kill the tyrant he must die, for his falseness and his crimes. Strike him down, and slay his guards, and his ministers as well. Done it your way, now you will pay Debts with your own blood. Hail to the king! Crack in the distance, a flash in the sky It's getting dark, clouds gather power You heard it coming from over the hill It's time to run, time to seek cover Now there is no hideaway And you have no chance Thor and his hammer are riding his chariots of storm Breaking the silence with powerful roars Wind gaining strength, screaming tornado First wave is over, don't hold back your breath It sure coming back, second attack Now there is no hideaway And you have no chance The sky is on fire the heavens are burning in flames THUNDER THUNDER STRIKING THUNDER A cold rain is falling, a lightning strikes down Distance is dark, horizon is frightening Massive strong lightning's are shaking the ground Thor is upset, out slaying giants Now there is no hideaway And you have no chance Thor and his hammer are out slaying giants tonight Born with a heart of a lion, raving to space on your own. Into the belt of Orion, g-forces bite to the bone Speed makes your heart burn like fire Speed makes your heart burn with lust Challenges taking you higher Ride fast and do what you want Fast as the lightning, your life is at stake You're the one that Speeder, Speeder Faster and higher, exciting desire. Speeder, Speeder G-forces bite to the bone Out of this world you are racing Into an asteroid belt Challenges of death you are facing Strongest kick you ever felt Faster than light, ride through the night No way to stop this machine Asses have turned never return Search for the world of your dream We're a small crowd left to rotten, there's not many hard souls left As the pop is growing stronger, will metal fade away Will we be broken, will we go down? No! We'll never fall we're the masters of the world Get up let's break those chains now and party all night long No! We'll never fall we're the masters of the world Get up let's break those chains now and party all night long As I'm tweaking with my radio, there's disco everywhere When I turn on my big TV, is hip hop what I want to see? Have we been broken, did we go down?

Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold as ice No one close to hear my voice Did not leave me with a choice Heaven will you wait for me? Will I find a way, will I find a place Will you let me go in peace Will I find a way to the other side. Sad are memories from the life I lived Cannot go on, cannot go further I has to end right here For the things that I have done All the girls I lost and won Let me rest in peace at last Will I find a way, will I find a place Will you let me go in peace Leave behind those dark days No I ask again will you hear my cries Then you realize why oh why I must find a way to the other side. Hear them whisper calling out my name The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen I have paid the price Sad to realize to late death was meant to be my fate All this pain will follow me. The priesthood is trembling The five knights of light has betrayed mankind Now known as the dark ones We strike down on earth with powers from hell We ride on the wind we ride through the sky Like unholy birds of war we fly We bring agony and insanity Once blessed by the light now serving the night And soon cursed by every man on earth We follow our lust, in no god we trust Come join us Leave this world behind and you will find satisfaction Fight on our side you cannot hide from us forever more Once greeted as heroes Now treated as foes wherever we go Recruiting more warriors The hordes of undead march on our command Now mankind will pay from this very day Every man on earth will curse his birth We spread fear and pain resistance in vain We march in the dark your kind is our mark Avoid the daylight in dark we fight We'll control your souls you'll end up like ghouls Attero! Dominatus! Berlin is burning Denique! Interimo!

I dont know much about medieval boots, but I know a fair bit about modern work boots, and you hands down get what you pay for. I've worn dozens and dozens of different brands and price ranges, and the most durable, comfortable, and best wearing ones are always mostly high quality leather. I'm a facilities manager for an cast acrylic factory, which is a fancy way of saying I'm Mr Fixit. I used to wear a Fitbit step counter and I averaged 6 miles in a 9 hour day for the year I wore it. I have a pair of timberland pro-series steel toe work boots. I've had em for a little more then 2 years and by my quick math I have roughly 3,000 miles on em. They aren't much to look at anymore, but they're still waterproof, and I have a suprising amount of tread left. They cost me about $170 which to me at least has been one of my better investments hahahaha.
Slim Tony Many of us still have non-pointy feet with well spread out toes. Fortunately, a few select companies still make foot-shaped footwear, so we don't need to get bespoke for our daily needs.
Is there a reason for the laces to be on the outside lateral part intead of the inside? that way it may be easier to tie by putting your foot on your other knee while sitting.
It goes without saying that I am utterly irritated by how entertaining you can make such simple subject material. Then again, that's partially why I subscribed.
I was visiting Ft. Ticonderoga in New York, where they make all the uniforms including shoes as was done in the 18th century. I mentioned the term cobbler and was roundly corrected that a cobbler fixes broken shoes, a shoemaker creates new shoes. Just FYI in case you ever visit the fort.
you can lace the shoe differently with the same piece of leather to make it more accessible or maybe cut it lace each side and tie it so you just have to untie a knot each time
When you pointed out the one flawed stitch, I remembered a neat fact about rug makers in (I think) Turkey. When they make a rug, they purposefully make one of the knots incorrectly, so as to keep themselves humble.
You know, the boot has two holes at the bottom, doesn't it? Well, oh so happens that the lace ALSO has two ends, innit? Well, Lloyd, you take the two ends of the lace and stick 'em through the two holes. Walla, now instead of 1 end at the top, if you laced them normally, now you can lace them as normal.... lace up boots? As far as I know, at the very least, hope you can find peace of mind if you manage to lace them in any other manner.
Interestingly I relaced my army GP ankle boots to a single lace precisely because it was quicker to put on and off. There were eyelets though to make it a little smoother. The trick was to knot the other end and put most of the slack in the middle.
Lloyd, that sort of lace arrangement is sometimes used just to try out the shoe. I've seen it hundreds of times on dress shoes at the shoe store. What you're supposed to do is to take it all out; and when you put it back in you simply align the middle of the lace with the center point between the bottom two holes, and just lace it up normally from there.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say the word 'superfluous' (unnecessary / too much). Granted, I've never been to England, so that might explain it (I'm Dutch).
Ha! I use to word in daily speech. In fact, I use the modification of the word in superfluities even more often. I English hard y’all! Get on my level ... git gud scrub,😜.
Just a tiny point but the maker of the shoes is a cordwainer. A cobbler is a repairer of shoes and boots. Well, it would have been in the period the boots are looking to be from.
The heel first appeared in Europe around the 17th century, and was more of a fashion trend for the higher classes, to make rich people look fancy and protect their expensive shoes from the dirt. In medieval times people used wooden overshoes for that purpose.
Interestingly the technique used to lace the boots is still common on modern combat boots in the military as it allows fast cutting of the laces to remove the boot.
Might want to add something to the end of the laces to keep them from slipping through. It would need to be fairly easily removable though in case the laces break.
While medieval do occasionally wear hobnails for grip and while roman shoes did sometimes have them, I believe there is next to no evidence anyone in medieval Europe used them in shoe making...
When I got a pair of Sabatons From Steel Mastery. I requested they leave two holes near the toes. I then got a custom pair of red leather shoes just like these from Etsy and punched holes in the leather near the toes to tie lace through the shoe and sabaton. The leather straps in my expereince that hold the toes wear rather quickly. And will fail rather quickly too. So this ties the sabaton to the shoe and have worked very well ever since.
evan Fallacy. I'm Texan and been drinking hot tea my entire life. Grandma and grandpa did the same. Iced tea or lemonade is only for the hotter summer days. Enjoy hot coffee when we don't feel like tea too. Iced coffee never. THAT is a modern invention and the equivalent of sacrilege 'round our parts. ✌
Paul Alvarado I can agree about iced coffee, but not about hot tea, the only respectable time for a Texan to drink hot tea is when you have a sore throat. There are now fish and chips! Help!

I just watched a man talk about a pair of boots for 10 minutes and I'm very happy with my direction in life
You'd like techmoan and maybe even squirrel hunter
i like this return to mundane appreciation on this channel
.....whose a highly intelligent, educated man. A historian, archaeologist, rein-actor that is not only well read but actually takes part in, is a current student in, or an instructor in, virtually every topic he speaks on in this channel. I strive to be more like the “guy who just talked about a pair of boots for 10 minutes” then the guy who belittles him for doing so. I think just by watching Lloyd’s video, and reading your comment we can all get a decent idea of which man we’d rather be like or be around. Now I’m not sayn this as gospel, but ima go with Lloyd 9 outta ten times!!

Haven't met a sabaton fan yet that is not a nazi sympathizer.
SquidCaps what?
What are you on about?
So.... The Winged Hussars don't arrive in this video? Dammit.
This is a no-fly zone.
They can't come because of the Spandau.

Things are never quite the way they seem...
thegreattotemaster Were you awfully glad to see this big marine?
The real question: Does Lloyd listen to Sabaton?
Imma be da 1st comment
I was expecting Sabaton lyrics in the comments. I was not disappointed.
Hear the sound of the machine gun
@@Aerospace_Gaming Hear it echo in the night
I am not surprised that the Sabaton horde cometh.
I'm a Lindybeige fan but I also do listen to Sabaton, so there's that.
Oberfuhrer-Raziel same
ah yes. They supported Nightwish on their world tour The one that introduced Floor Jansen as lead singer mid tour.
Who would have thought that watching someone put on a shoe would be so satisfying. ^_^
I would recommend rephrasing that.
me watching lindybeige.
A shoe and/or foot fetishist might have thought that.
You need a verification check already >:l
Have you not seen Mr.Rodgers neighborhood?
YOU FOOL! BY MENTIONING SABATONS YOU HAVE SUMMONED THE HORDES OF FANS OF SWEDISH POWER METAL!!
DarkLordOfSweden IN THE NAME OF GOD!!!
Ah, you mean your neonazis? That is not a horde, that is collection of incels.
SquidCaps I understand u may not like the band, why do you call everybody around nazis?
Aaaaand how is Sabaton nazi? The band that sings about Soviets beating them, and Polish hussars.
ultraboy222 I have nothing against them, I love them actually, but don't deny that Sabaton fans take any chance you give them to mention them ^^
SquidCaps that's a remarkable silly statement you gave there, any personal grudge behind it?
FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD
FOR THE HOME OF THE HOLY
FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
GAVE THEIR LIVES SO BOLDLY!

On the 6th of June,
Conn0rized 1944!
[scrolls down to comments to see how many lyric threads there are]
[insert joke about a certain Swedish Power Metal band here]
“Run and skip and frolic in your armor...” the vision that conjures up delights me to no end.
As Knight Errant showed, it takes less than 15 minutes to put on a full suit of armour... And as Lloyd showed, it takes 3 minutes to put on a pair of shoes.
I think Knight Errant started with his padded garments and shoes already on and only affixed the metal parts, if I recall correctly. He also had a wife doing the squire-ing.
"I think Knight Errant started with his padded garments and shoes already on..."
And now we know the reason for that :)
To be fair, it is safe to say that you would already have your shoes on.
putting on the doublet and hose and shoes and mail on the doublet? 30 mins is easily gone.
the rest of the armour with a good squire? quickest i have done it 12 mins, but it does depend on the set up.
having said that, often it is moderated or otherwise delayed.
the complexity of the armour design can be quite significant, like the addition of a frogmouth or an ecranche shield.
nevertheless this was a historical reality and keeping large parts of the under garments on over night was definitely done, or even sleeping in nearly all of the armour:
the duke of burgundy is reputed to have donned his armour every night at the siege of neuss and slept in a reclining chair... 1,5 years...
get armour on and get on a horse is normally assumed to take an hour, if you really don't want any screw ups... this is quite critical.
having said that i have managed unassited to get a full armour on and get on a horse myself in 21 minutes.
there are rushjobs and there are reasonable expectations
"Now it's late February"
But Lloyd... it's close to mid March
That only proves Lloyd to be way faster than historically reenacted mail services.
You do realize it takes a while before the upload-pigeons arrive to the YT HQ, right?
Actually, Pigeons download both ways. Horrible mess.
MrDinJavel "way faster than historically reenacted mail services"?!?! Way faster than modern operating mail services. Yeah Australia Post, I'm looking at you >:(
It took so long because he couldn't take off that damned shoe. And he does Lindy Hop, so he obviously operates the computer using his feet.
Can you imagine how happy those medieval knights would have been if somebody gave them velcro?
But then they’d find pulling wenches to be at least 50% harder.
Bearded Bjorn and 20 times faster

Cobblers can also make shoes, but thank you for pointing this out.
Well, they might cobble together a little something, but if you want quality you need to go to the guilds.
Wouldn't you call them a shoemaker?

ON THE SIXTH OF JUNE
ON THE SHORES OF WESTERN EUROPE!
Anyone else perhaps more annoyed than they should that his 'bespoke' shoes that took a year to make, were very expensive, and still weren't what he asked for?
I am. That is a massive failure on their part. If Lloyd wasn’t under a time crunch with the armor and all; were I him, I would genuinely be interested in sending those things back.
Still, he wanted "the minimum point as possible". That seems to be the least point that period shoes had.
+Matías Tonazzi I am pretty doubtful about that being the case. I’ve seen that type of shoe without a point entirely. I have also seen ones with the point offset to just in front of the big toe. I am assuming that is what he meant when he asked for them. Also, having worked a bit of leather myself, I am pretty certain that they sat on his order for the months that it took for them to tell Lloyd that they needed more time. Unless they were tanning the leather themselves, there is nothing about making a shoe like that that should take more than 45 work-hours. As I said before were I Lloyd and not in his time crunch I might just see about alterations or something. My local cobbler can resole a shoe where the upper is made of only two prices of leather stitched to the sole in a few days. They guys really shouldn’t have needed half a year to make shoes that the customer didn’t ask for.
On the first part, I don't know of shoes from that period that lacked any kind of point on the tip. All the images and effigies have somewhat pointy shoes, but I can be wrong and there may be evidence for un-pointy shoes and I just don't know about it.
Now, on the second part, we don't know the reality of the makers (this may not be their case, but I myself also work leather, and make leather goods locally yet I still have a 8 to 18 job because as for now the leather jig ain't enough to make a living of -one can dream-) and it's only acceptable if they're upfront on the waiting time, which the buyer can accept or not and go to another vendor or maker.
As for the point, it all depends on how the exchange went. If Lloyd say "no point", or "rounded tip" or similar, then the maker is on fault and if he wasn't pressed on time, he ought to send them back and get a pair up to the specifications he paid for. But, if he said "with the least point as possible" then it's subjective, and if the maker's catalog has all it's shoes with pointy tips and like me, thinks all period shoes have even a minimal point to them the line of fault gets blurred. Still, it's my opinion and I reckon it's a delicate issue.
I guess you are right. I really cannot speak about the exchange or the maker's catalogue either. It is still clear that Lloyd is not totally happy with his product. I wouldn't be happy about sending a shoe out that didn't meet or exceed the customer's expectations unless I was upfront about not being able to do so. Would want to make %100 sure that the person gets what they pay for. Whenever someone makes a statement that make's not sure about, the diligent craftsman will ask more questions than the customer and gets approval once everyone is on the same page. It never hurts to make sure. Assurance is the best insurance against angry customers.
I don't really have the skill yet to make exactly what people wants. Any work that I do, mostly sheaths, is never claimed as custom or bespoke. It just grinds my gears sometimes that people claim to do custom work that only ever falls within a narrow band of patterns and techniques. Not custom fitted, or customizable, but custom.
All in all. i guess we will really never know. They are still nice boots.
Have someone make you a bespoke squire. Problem solved
Nah, you just need to visit a medieval orphanage - try the House of Lords . . .
Are the orphans bespoke?
Not so much bespoke as accidental pedigree through morally suspect wild abandonment at parties.
I'm available
"Once, twice, three times". Come on, Lloyd, "thrice", damn it "thrice"!

All embrace me,
it's my time to rule at last,
fifteen years have I been waiting,
to sit upon my throne.
No allegiance,
I will swear no oath,
crowned by god not the church,
as my power is divine.
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as the failed to understand
Born to rule!
My time has come...
I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN!!!
Sabaton is also the name of a band I like.
Looking good lindy. Glad you are getting armor, You're one of few youtubers who truly appreciates history
Sabaton is a sick band as wel
Lindybeige, have you considered adding aglets to your boots? Depending on the period your armor is based, metal aglets would be period accurate, and prevent the dreaded unlaceing of the boot.
thought this would be about Sabaton
MarsOz boots *for* sabatons
Implying its about the *boots* mmkay
it is
Ikr I thought it he gonna talk about the band Sabaton xD
Sabatons for boots 2020

It's coming together
I thought you were going to talk about the group Sabaton. xD
I was just trying to make a joke... xD
And Sabaton is historical.

Also, next video is "arming cap for my helmet"?
Ha ha! WRONG!
Probably something about laces for arming doublets.

Damn it, I am addicted to your videos and I have been binge watching for the past 2 days...
9:20 onwards, just close your eyes and enjoy. Or don't.
Sage H. Fans only lol.
i laughed so hard, thank you :D
My sides are hurting with laughter... I hope Lloyd sees this
I have fallen into an obsession with this channel. I've just about watched all of his videos and there's no stopping now.
Into to the motherland the german army march!!

Looking forward to Lindy's upcoming run skip and frolic in new armour video.
Authenti-Boots!
Wow, I'm loving this new frequency of Lindy vids!
They look simple, but are more complicated to put on than a boot.
I don't know why I am so stupidly interested in the progress of someone's medieval style armor, or half the other silly stuff in your channel. But it is so entertaining the way you do it. Dancing, Dr Who, weapons, armor, fighting styles, tanks. books, performances...you are like the new renaissance man!
You don't have a squire? I'll be your squire for a few turnips a month

Can one top,
"Pitt, the Toddler?" ?
I had a pair of knee-length boots made for my 18th century kit. The sticker shock was insane, but they're easily the most comfortable shoes I own.
Will you use those unbreakable shoes to jump of the cliffs of gallipoli in the name of god after winning a fight 40 to 1 against the ghost division and night witches?
Sorry, I just had to, after seeing that thumbnail :-D
--- I'll be your squire ... my lord. :) ---
I bet at one point you must've thought that the cobbler took your money and legged it
Ha!
the side panel is there because the narrow opening would have been a issue when turning the leather
illmade2 also if the lacing is in top that can make it really uncomfortable when wearing the sabaton
For all you posting Sabaton lyrics in the comments here, I have something for you.
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven

Primo victoria
We've been training for years
Now we're ready to strike
As the great operation begins
We're the first wave on the shore
We're the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
In this burning inferno
Know that nothing remains
As our forces advance on the beach
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us
We've been here before
Used to this kind of war
Crossfire grind through the sand
Our orders were easy
It's kill or be killed
Blood on both sides will be spilled
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
Now that we are at war
With the axis again
This time we know what will come
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall

The sky is on fire burning black gold
Eyes of the west turn to east
Driven by greed and an urge to destroy
Merciless killing your own
Slave to the power a slave to the gold
Ruthlessly ruling the east
Your reign of terror must come to an end
Fighting your unholy war
Now you will pay we'll charge you our way
Sooner or later we'll get you
Don't try to hide in your holes underground
Just like an insect we'll smoke you right out
Night time prime time
Ancient legacy of crime
One day we will make you pay for
Night time prime time
Law and order pays the fine
Genocide you cannot justify
Chaos in east disorder in west
Desert storm is a go
Fighters are launched from the carriers at sea
Infantry coming your way
Armored brigades engaging their lines
Regain control of black gold
Your reign of terror will come to an end
Forcing you out of control
Countdown to death we're coming for you
Making our way through the desert
Soon you will pay for the pain that you caused
Captured or dead you will cause no more harm
Feet after feet mile after mile
Allies regaining control
Your cities in ruins a people in need
Still you go on as before
Feet after feet mile after mile
Allies returning the land
Hide underground as the coward you are
One day we're coming for you
Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armored battalion on course to the east
Closing the end of it's march
This time we're here to finish a job
Started a decade ago
Driving the animals out of their holes
To bury them 6 feet below
Armored tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dares to stand before us
Feel our guns go live
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion
Thousands of tons of armor and guns
Making it's way through the sand
Our panzer battalion is back for revenge
Artillery sweeping the land
First strike is ours no mercy is shown
There's rivers of blood in our track
Breaking their waves of defense with our tanks
Infantry watching our back
Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike
Ready for the storm
Minefields swept there's no surrender
Feel our napalm burn
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion
Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armored battalion on course to the east
Has reached the end of it's march
Armored tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dares to stand before us
Feel our guns go live
Panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a man

To their own shore,
Came the world war.
Gleaves and Ingham,
Leading the bury west.
Took the short way in,
The long route back convoy 92.
Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading,
Tankers to the west.
And upon the north atlantic,
Lies the silence of the seas.
On the quietest night in the darkest hour,
The kriegsmarine appear.
Above the surface it seems quiet and calm.
Deep down below the wolfpack lurks.
To their own shore,
Came the world war.
Gleaves and Ingham,
Leading the bury west.
In their own track,
Came the wolfpack.
Gleaves led the convoy,
Into the hornets nest.
At the crack of dawn the second day,
Bury stands in flames.
Half the convoy sunk or disabled,
Heading back to the shore.
But below the north Atlantic,
On the bottom of the sea.
On the second night in the darkest hour,
The kriegsmarine return.
The wolfpack surface for a second time.
To make the convoy face it's fate.
To their own shore,
Came the world war.
Gleaves and the Ingham,
Leading the bury west.
In their own track,
Came the wolfpack.

Into the hornets nest.
Under fire,
Under water.
May 42 when,
Bury did fail the test.
To their own shore,
Came the world war.
Gleaves and the Ingham,
Leading them into death.
569 makes the contact and lead them,
U-94 scores a kill in the dark.
124 sinking four in two approaches,
406 suffers failure on launch.

Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king race to win
Afterburners roaring
Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise
Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven
Jordan attacks Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem
Drive back surprise attack
Take the western wall
Next day make them pay
Over river Jordan
Syria last in line
Head for golan heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling
Syria attacks Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling golan heights
6 days of fire 1 day of rest
June 67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
3 nations fallen in 6 days of war
Traitorous neighbours
Received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
1 nation standing stronger than before
First into Egypt and
Sent them to hell
Then turned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains
Where Syria awaits
Break them in hours
Protect holy land
6 days of fire 1 day of rest
June 67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
6 days of fire 1 day of rest
June 67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
Fresh from Moscow
Over Volga came to comrades aid
City in despair
Almost crushed by the Führer's army
Oh, it's colder than Hell
Hitler's forces advancing
The sound of the mortars
The music of death
A grand symphony
See your friends fall hear them
Pray to the god your country denies
Every man dies alone and when your
Time comes you will know that it's time
Stalins fortress on fire
Is this madness or Hell
The sound of the mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devil's symphony
Our violins are guns conducted from Hell
Oh Stalingrad
Mratnimiat
Are you playing?
Do you follow the conductors lead?
No one knows you
No one cares about a single violin
Play the score of the damned
Know the devil within
Sent from home overseas
And into the unknown
Barely landed in the jungle
Sent on first patrol
Sundown darkness falls
Dig in for the night
Ambushed in the dawn they came
The jungle's alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Berserk a savage running wild
Within me the beast starts to roar
Now I'm ready to strike
A creature of the night
Into the fire
A flame of napalm strike
Sarge's down I'm in charge
Vc's everywhere
Overrun yet order air-strike
Condemned us all to burn,
Napalm from above
Burning friend and foe
Chaos on the battlefield
The jungle's on fire
This place it's driving me insane
Napalm it's burning us all
This fight no man will live to tell
Within me my blood starts to boil
From above the air-strike came
And it burned the world below
Napalm falling from the sky
And it leaves no man alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Napalm it's burning us alive
Within me the beasts final roar
When we signed up for the army
To a rangers company
Armed with M16's
Straight into the war
Then we served under the banner
Clad in US stars an stripes
And on moonless nights
We marched for endless miles
Once we were soldiers
Once we were young
We have found our peace
We've seen the end
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep 6 feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
We have fought in distant conflict
And for all to many years
Seen our friends go down
Wounded dead or lost
Know that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of men
Shining heart beats no more
Buried deep deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay lay in darkness forever.
I have a phobia
A fear of the dark
Afraid to shoot strangers
The animal talks
Guns scare me shitless
But love gun's my friend
The sentinel's coming
But is this the end
Riding on this crazy train
I'm going paranoid
Watch me lose my mind
And break the law
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
The rainbow in the dark is shining
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
The kings of metal ride the sky
Is this saint anger
The ultimate sin
Or have I really
A black knight within
The gates of Babylon
Are open and wide
Shout at the devil
There's nowhere to hide
Fighting for the world to keep
The wild child in it's cage
Broke my metal heart
Against the wall
Hear the rolling sound of thunder
As the battle rages on
We will tear this world us under
Feel our power
Through a darkened sky we riding
Pierce the night with bolts of light
We will find you although you are hiding
Under cover
We will break through with
Thunder and fire
Realising an unholy
Hellborn, desire
We are out of control
To conquer this world
From a world you broken into
From a world unknown to man
We release our wrath upon you
Holy bloodshed
Breaking chains of your religion
Worship none or be destroyed
You cannot defeat our legion
Bleed the world red
We will break through with
Thunder and fire
Realising an unholy
Hellborn, desire
We are out of control
To conquer this world
Lightning bolts of anger
Raging in your world
We uphold the darkness
Rulers of the moonlight
As you think its over
Calm has settled in
Thundergods returning
Back to rule this planet again
Future role of generations
Let us rage into this world
They'll be trusting our patience
Run for cover
Hear the rolling sound of thunder
As the battle rages on
We will tear this world us under
Feel our power
We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are breaking ground
The drum pounding faster than my heart, the vocals are screaming extreme art
The passion for metal drives us forth, the best heavy metal comes from north
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience screams in ecstasy
Metal, Metal
Back with the vengeance
Metal, Metal
All that I need is heavy metal
Metal
Screaming together
Metal, Metal
Metal is all that I need
While hell bends for leather we stand strong, a rocker can party all night long
the school couldn't teach us rock' n roll, the school couldn't help us reach our goal
We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are breaking ground
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience screams in ecstasy
Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
Black shadow king, find the ring.
Search for the Halfling you lords of the dark
The hobbit with Sauron's ring he is your mark
Unholy light, in the night
Black knights of Sauron
You're made of iron
Black shadows of Mordor
Wield one-eyed shields
Unholy ring wraiths with armour of steel
Kings of the past to no one you kneel
Hearts filled with hate, that's your fate.
Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
Ride shadow king, find the ring.
No use to pray, there's no one listening
I will die anyway
Some say I've killed, some call me Satan
Now my blood must be spilled
I'm sentenced for crimes I did not commit
I'll pay with my blood, is this really it?
Creations of God?
No way!
Burn your crosses, make way for science
Christ has only caused death and violence
Burn your crosses and make way for yourself
Put faith in mother Earth
Don't call his name, don't trust in others
Bishops fighting for fame
Torture in vain, I won't surrender
Purified by pain
Mankind's great mistake was to create god
Creation of man, excuse to spill blood
Creations of God?
No way!
Burn your crosses, make way for science
Christ has only caused death and violence
Burn your crosses and make way for yourself
Put faith in mother Earth
No use to pray, there's no one listening
I will die anyway
Leaving this place, the end is near now
Dying ain't no disgrace
My last night alive has come to an end
Death once I feared, but now it's my friend
Creations of God?
No way!
Burned my crosses, made way for science
Christ will only cause death and violence
Burned my crosses and made way for myself
In mother Earth I trust
Now burn!
The dawn of time breaks
See the sun rise to the sky
The wheel of time begins to turn
But then we heard it
A divine voice out of nowhere
Spoke to our hearts and showed the way
Almighty Lord, we have come to your hall
Do glatem live, creator of all
Open your heart and you will find a way
Paradise calling and enter you may (Falling down)
Now your soul returns to paradise
(Falling down) Double seven thirty-four
The wheel kept turning
Ages came, time passed us by
We lived in perfect harmony
But then it happened our ranks decreased rapidly
But now it's time for our return
Once we were numerous but that's long ago
We are no more double seven thirty-four
We last two united and two became one
One hundred eleven, they perished in flames (Falling down)
Now your soul returns to paradise
Double seven thirty-four
Almighty Lord, we have come to your hall
Do glatem live, creator of all
Open your heart and you will find a way
Paradise calling and enter you may (Falling down)
Now your soul returns to paradise
Double seven thirty-four (Falling down)
Now your soul returns to paradise (Falling down)
Double seven thirty-four
Clouds are gathering in the darkness
Lightning strikes the Earth
Evil forces celebrate, Lucifer's rebirth
Necromancers, sacrifices, he'll be here for sure
Drained blood from a thousand men, and now he's back for more
He will rise from a world down under
Bringing fire, plague, death and thunder
Summons creatures unknown to mankind
Demons of the past
Unholy rites. Assassins from hell
Cold endless nights upon us fell
The storm strikes our land with madness and pain
Winds of the damned drives us insane
Satan's hordes are coming closer, now it's time to pay
Riding on the wings of death searching for their prey
Now the time has come for mankind to prove strong or fall
Fighting against unholy creatures spawned in Satan's hall
Trapped in hellfire he was burned
Once locked up but the wind has turned
Seeking vengeance in pain and slaughter
Back on earth again
Demons marked with the five-edged star
Haunt our dreams in this endless war
Killing children and raping women
Now it's time to die
Once we lived in harmony, but it seems so distance now.
Even though it wasn't long ago, were all doomed to
Plague and death. Working hard from dawn �til dusk. but
That ain't enough for him Product of unholy love, untrue
Brother of a king.
Know that you'll fail, now hear us hail
Your brother that you killed.
Hail to the king that brought peace to us all. Rise from
Your grave, hear our call. We'll not forget that you once
Saved our land. Killed by your own brothers hand.
Pure evil and cruelty, the true nature of your soul.
Mercy and responsibility, words that you can't understand.
Your quest for total control will only end in your own fall.
We will fight for our freedom, and our right to live.
Do it your way, soon you will pay
Debts with your own blood.
Stars so bright, dance in the night
Day come soon, hide the moon
Stars so bright dance in the night
Day come soon, killing the moon
Morning breaks it's time to march, to the castle of betrayal.
Bring your sword, wield your Armour, we won't take this anymore.
Kill the tyrant he must die, for his falseness and his crimes.
Strike him down, and slay his guards, and his ministers as well.
Done it your way, now you will pay
Debts with your own blood.
Hail to the king!
Crack in the distance, a flash in the sky
It's getting dark, clouds gather power
You heard it coming from over the hill
It's time to run, time to seek cover
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
Thor and his hammer are riding his chariots of storm
Breaking the silence with powerful roars
Wind gaining strength, screaming tornado
First wave is over, don't hold back your breath
It sure coming back, second attack
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
The sky is on fire the heavens are burning in flames
THUNDER
THUNDER
STRIKING
THUNDER
A cold rain is falling, a lightning strikes down
Distance is dark, horizon is frightening
Massive strong lightning's are shaking the ground
Thor is upset, out slaying giants
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
Thor and his hammer are out slaying giants tonight
Born with a heart of a lion, raving to space on your own.
Into the belt of Orion, g-forces bite to the bone
Speed makes your heart burn like fire
Speed makes your heart burn with lust
Challenges taking you higher
Ride fast and do what you want
Fast as the lightning, your life is at stake
You're the one that
Speeder, Speeder
Faster and higher, exciting desire.
Speeder, Speeder
G-forces bite to the bone
Out of this world you are racing
Into an asteroid belt
Challenges of death you are facing
Strongest kick you ever felt
Faster than light, ride through the night
No way to stop this machine
Asses have turned never return
Search for the world of your dream
We're a small crowd left to rotten, there's not many hard souls left
As the pop is growing stronger, will metal fade away
Will we be broken, will we go down?
No! We'll never fall we're the masters of the world
Get up let's break those chains now and party all night long
No! We'll never fall we're the masters of the world
Get up let's break those chains now and party all night long
As I'm tweaking with my radio, there's disco everywhere
When I turn on my big TV, is hip hop what I want to see?
Have we been broken, did we go down?
Annihilator, breaker of this world
Bring destruction, suffering and pain
Lord of fire, satan's number one
Death machine and plague and poison bringer
Turn out the light, I've come for vengeance
In the darkest night, you'll feel my power
Dream destroyer, gazing in the night
Don't resist my nightmare, taste the fire
I've come for you, I'm here for vengeance
In the dash of light, you'll feel my power
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Hide from my lies I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Running round in circles, there's no escape from me
I'm the last one of my kind, (k)now there is no stopping me
Annihilator, breaker of this world
Bring destruction, suffering and pain
Lord of fire, satan's number one
Death machine and plague and poison bringer
Turn out the light, I've come vengeance
In the dead of night, you'll feel my power
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Engines are running our blood burns like oil
Head one by one down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the sirens of death coming our way
We'll always be one step ahead, we'll not fall back
Pedal to metal rock hard and ride free, the philosophy of a rider
Don't use the brakes ride on faster instead, adrenaline taking you higher
Fall back in line or stand away, we like it fast
Into hell we ride fast as lightning, enter the darkness
The weak ones will pay
Ride through fire cause revolution, this is a hellrider's way
Crushing the traitors to no man we kneel, the power is at our command
Nothing can stop us it's head over heel, united together we stand
If it's to hard then you're too weak, you're in our way
If you ain't tough enough to play, get out our way
Here I am standing, darkness all around.
Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold as ice
No one close to hear my voice
Did not leave me with a choice
Heaven will you wait for me?
Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Will I find a way to the other side.
Sad are memories from the life I lived
Cannot go on, cannot go further
I has to end right here
For the things that I have done
All the girls I lost and won
Let me rest in peace at last
Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Leave behind those dark days
No I ask again will you hear my cries
Then you realize why oh why
I must find a way to the other side.
Hear them whisper calling out my name
The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen
I have paid the price
Sad to realize to late death was meant to be my fate
All this pain will follow me.
The priesthood is trembling
The five knights of light has betrayed mankind
Now known as the dark ones
We strike down on earth with powers from hell
We ride on the wind we ride through the sky
Like unholy birds of war we fly
We bring agony and insanity
Once blessed by the light now serving the night
And soon cursed by every man on earth
We follow our lust, in no god we trust
Come join us
Leave this world behind and you will find satisfaction
Fight on our side you cannot hide from us forever more
Once greeted as heroes
Now treated as foes wherever we go
Recruiting more warriors
The hordes of undead march on our command
Now mankind will pay from this very day
Every man on earth will curse his birth
We spread fear and pain resistance in vain
We march in the dark your kind is our mark
Avoid the daylight in dark we fight
We'll control your souls you'll end up like ghouls
Attero!
Dominatus!
Berlin is burning
Denique!
Interimo!
The reich has fallen
We stand at the gates of Berlin
With two and a half million men
With six thousand tanks in our ranks
Use them as battering rams
Artillery leading our way
A million grenades has been launched
The nazis must pay for their crimes
The wings of the eagle has been broken
Marshall Zhukov's orders:
Serve me Berlin on a plate!
Disregard the losses
The city is ours to take
The price of a war must be payed
Millions of lives has been lost
The price must be paid by the men
That started the war in the 30's
The spring of the year 45'
The year when the nazis will fall
We're inside the gates of Berlin
The beak of the eagle is broken
Comrade Stalins orders:
Serve me it's head on a plate
Disregard the losses
The eagle's land is ours to take
March!
Fight!
Die!
In Berlin!
March!
Fight!
Conquer!
Berlin!
Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning
At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze
August in black, B-29's coming back
Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack
From the southeast came the second attack, threat of tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning
The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you'll perish in flames
Second attack, B-29's turning back.
A nation in despair, weakened by war, defeated
Lost their pride in Versailles
A former prisoner, with a vision or a grand delusion
Rise to power in the Reich
Rebuilding an army
Make the nation proud
Disregarding the treaty
Secret plans for "lebensraum"
Start the holocaust
The Reich will rise
Propaganda, the Reich will rise
To last a thousand years
Burning books to spread, anti-Semite propaganda
Who will stop the madman's reign?
Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death camp
On a path to certain death
The "Aeschylus" completed
On the brink of war
Act brutal with no pity
Be harsh, show no remorse
Start the war machine
In the last days of peace
Europe holding it's breath
An invasion is coming but when will it start?
Who will be first to fall? who will be last to stand?
Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no man understand?
No man, no land!
Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing woman and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear
Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!
Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"
Run, when it's time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your action
Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!
Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"
Captured in all your lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who has gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action
Captured in all your lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who has gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action
Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!
Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"
Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
I've had a vision its clear to me now
I know what has to be done
Different religions cannot share a land
A plague and I have the cure
Chase them down, let them suffer in pain
Dig them down, they´ll be gone for a while
Evidence lost
We burn
Plunder and rape
Show them no mercy, just burn
Flesh turn to ash
Inspired by deeds that were done long ago
I know what has to be done
Filth of my land must be washed clean and pure
Now let the cleansing begin
Genocide?
Who will drag me to court?
There´s no crime if you do not get caught
I am the law. We burn
Privates, sergeants and generals hear
It's our chance we've been waiting too long
Your orders are: to start to burn
Sent to kill, to watch no man's land
Snipers are moving unseen
Fight for land, to lose it again
Shrapnel is filling the air
Hell on earth, the trenches mean death, better keep your head down low
Charge their lines, the ultimate test it's a synchronized sacrifice
Get the wounded after dark
Left alone in no man's land
Maddening chaos at the front
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
Shells and guns, a rifle and scope
Bullets are wearing your name
Losing track of time and of space
Midnight at sanity's edge
Losing friends to artillery shells, at the break of dawn
Break their will, as yours has been broken, they're here alone, dream of home
Charge at dawn to gain a yard
Scout at night to guard their lines
Leave your life in fortunes hand
When the bullet hits it's mark
Know your time in hell has been served
You won't return to home
A cry for help, a distant whisper
A foreign nation calling our name
Sent to hell, to reach for heaven
To serve in dark, as light in the black
Sent into battle to aid strangers in need
Gain independence, our forces will lead
Final solution when all others have failed
Liberation is coming our path has been laid
We remember the fields, where our tanks held the line
We remember our brothers in arms
When the war, has been won
And our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
What was won? what was lost?
Will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?
Marching ashore, our target awaits
Facing resistance, forces driven by hate
Protecting civilians, while fired upon
Rules of engagement, our restrictions are gone
We remember the sea, where our ships broke the waves
We remember our brothers in arms
Leaving home, set to sea
Was this really meant to be?
See the shore of our home fade away
Facing blood, facing pain
Have our brothers died in vain?
Many lives has been lost on the way
Woooaaaahhhyeeeaaaahyeeaaah
Take some venom and accept
That you won't see nazareth
The rainbow leads you home
Warriors sent to Milky Way
UFO shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction
Watch the rock bitch go down
And vixxen spread
When the priest kill a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory
You were born a motörhead
Bikes in flames you race ahead
You do the kansas rush
Racing with the mötley crüe
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses
Status quo has been reached
W.A.S.P.s unleashed
When the priest kill a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory
Take a skyride with me, then you'll see
When the priest kill a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory
Woooaaaahhhyeeeaaaahyeeaaah
At dawn envoy arrives, morning of October 28th
"No day" proven by deed
Descendants of Sparta, Athens and Crete
Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms, facing defeat
There's no surrender, there's no retreat
Time after time, force their enemies back to the line
Call to arms banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death"
Blood of king Leonidas
Air raid pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure six days of rain
Dropped by invaders, bomb raid in vain
Strike hard, the tables have turned
Drive them back over the hills
At arms, just like before
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war
By their own hand forced the enemy out of their land
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death"
Blood of king Leonidas
Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men left a pride to uphold
Freedom of death in effect
Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death"
Blood of king Leonidas
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading "Freedom or death"
Blood of king Leonidas
Send them over the waves our sentinels
They report in the news
Position of our foes
This battlefield's been chosen tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters
We're soon in range
Midway
We'll meet at midway, Naval war
Calling all men to deck, got to be airborne
Head out into the sun
Descending on our foes
This is a crucial moment in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves
Midway (Display their mind, ordering carriers, admirals at war)
We'll meet at midway (To win the fight, tactics are crucial) Naval war
Far from shore, a Pacific war
Bombs are falling from the skies
It's a bomb-run day, it's the naval way
A blood-red sun is on the rise
Far from shore, a Pacific war
Bombs are falling from the skies

Warsaw rise
Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland
1939 and the allies turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
City in despair, but they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
Was a sacrifice willingly paid
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!'
Spirit soul and heart
In accordance with the old traditions
1944 still the allies turn away
Fighting street to street
In a time of hope and desperation
Did it on their own and they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
Was a sacrifice willingly paid
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!'
All the streetlights in the city
Broken many years ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers
Warsaw, it's time to rise now
All the streetlights in the city
Broken many years ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers
Warsaw, it's time to rise now
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!'
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Alone, alone
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
The march to Berlin has begun
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
Eagles are leading the way
France is still under enemy rule
Push, axis retreat
Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
They're stretched out just one bridge too far
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away
Losing momentum, retreat
Go to Bastogne, the crossroads must hold
Stand, alone in the cold
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Alone, alone
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
The storm is about to begin
The siege has begun, there's nowhere to run
Panzerkampfwagen emerge
Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
Prey of man and machine
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Chill of the winter bite to the bone and Christmas is drawing near
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
They're dying in their holes
There's no surrender, there's no retreat, the Wehrmacht is drawing near
There's no reinforcements, they're fighting all alone
Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
As easy, as hard as they get
Nazi command request and demand
Offer surrender, declined
Nuts! The generals word echo clear
Nuts! The Nazi's shall hear
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Country in depression
Nation in despair
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price!
Wicked propaganda
Turning neighbors into foes
Soldiers of the third Reich searching homes
And then the former friends are watching
As they are rounded up one by one
Times of prosecutions has begun
Ever since it started
On Crystal night of thirty eight
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on train on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates Auschwitz awaits!
When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
There was a country in depression
There was a nation in despair
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was raising hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders still apply
Who was to be blamed and send to die!
Ever since it started
On Crystal night of thirty eight
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on train on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates Auschwitz awaits!
When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
In the skies above the isle, Aces in exile prevail
From near and far they arrived, joined the force
Ready to serve the allied command
Sent into training though they already earned their wings
They were ready fly, they were fit for the fight
Once in the air, the battle begins
They have proven their worth, now they fly for revenge
Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land
Let their story be heard, tell of 303rd
Fighter pilots from Poland in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
Even at night shadows cover the ground
And the fighting goes on from dusk until dawn
With the claw of the Reich with the claw of the eagle
They were ready to fly, they were ready to die
Up in the air the battle goes on
They have proven their worth, now they have their revenge
Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land
Tell their story again, tell of 310
Men from Czechoslovakia in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
Over the battlefield brave men long way from home
Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die
Over the battlefield brave men long way from home
Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die
Fly, it echoes in history
Turning the tide in the heavens above
Oh, fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land
When the battle has been won, tell of 401
Fighter pilots from Canada in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
On wings of history they turned from home to live eternally skybound they roam
In all of history, never before was more owed to so few
Fighter pilots in exile!
Dropped down to a world of ice
A platoe of frozen lakes
A Nazi place of doom in their sights
Training camps on Scottish Heights
To commando saboteurs
A mission of their lives lies ahead
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
Allied time was running short
They would race against the bomb
And hours turned to days, time passed on
As the nature Test their strength
They would fight through night and day
To live amongst the wild, stay alive
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
Heroes of the Telemark
Carry viking blood in veins
Warriors of the northern land
They live forever more
They live forever more
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul!
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
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 onto 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 are in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die!
You are in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
After the dawn
When morning is broken
Snow once white turn 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
The 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 are 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!
You are in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die!
You are in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
You are in the sniper's sight
Snipers sight
You are the first kill tonight
First kill tonight
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
You are in the sniper's sight
Snipers sight
You are the first kill tonight
First kill tonight
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Pulled into war to serve a vision, that's supposed to last a thousand years
Part of a machine, unstoppable as merciless as tidal waves
Were they the victims of the time
Or proud parts of lager goals?
Propaganda of the Reich masterful machine
Time and again the battle rages on beyond the gates of misery
As casualties rise and millions die around them
Did they see it all?
Crazy madmen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
Panzers on a line from the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line from the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Ad victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae
Ad victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae
Pulled into war to serve a vision that just didn't last a thousand years
Part of a machine though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves
Crazy madmen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
Panzers on a line from the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line from the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men?You're in for surprise, you're in for a shock
In London town streets when there's darkness and fog
I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell from here
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Oh Mr. Crowley did you talk to the dead
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you can hear them
Twisting you mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you can't see a thing
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
Blood on your face you big disgrace
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you can see
Appears like a wonder without any move
Gonna get close, closer to you
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you
All aboard,
Hahahahaha
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night...
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you can hear them
En tid styrd av mörker och krig,
En legend beskriver ett lejon
Den besten tar form av en man
Med en dröm att den skall bli sann
För alla som står i hans väg,
Väntar död, för han ger ingen nåd
Med en mäktig arme ifrån norr,
I strid, denna tid, till krig
Legenden har spådd, gult och blått,
Han fruktar ej svärd eller skott
Lejon gå fram, i krut och damm,
I krut och damm
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus gå fram, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens gå fram, libera, impera)
Augusta per augusta
När stormen Europa har nått,
Ond bråd död, förödande blodbad
Ta då makten från kejsarens hand,
Katolikerna lämner sitt land
Krigskonstens framtid är här,
Lys den väg, deres sönar skall gå
Såsom lejonet leder en här,
I strid, denna tid, till krig
Legenden den löd, örnens död,
Den skållas i helvetets glöd
Konung kom fram, best eller man,
Best eller man
På ett slagfält, döpt i blod
Skall de mötas ond och god
Örn och lejon, klo mot tand
Satte världen uti brand
Å åå å å som världen brann
Å se hur en legend blir sann.
A time of religion and war,
Legends tell the tale of a lion
This beast in the shape of a man,
With a dream to rule sea and land
And all those who stand in his way,
Will die, by God and victorious arms
With the righteous that follows him south,
Once more, set ashore, to war
Legends have taught, battles fought,
This lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north,
Come from the no-o-o-o-ort
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens leo, libera, impera)
Augusta per augusta
A storm over Europe unleashed,
Dawn of war, a trail of destruction
The power of Rome won't prevail,
See the catholics shiver and shake
The future of warfare unveiled,
Showed the way, that we still walk today
Der Löwe aus Mitternacht comes,
Once more, he is here, for war
Stories of old, truth unfold,
Control over Europe he holds
Freedom he'll bring,
Lion and king, lion and king
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter, from its hand
Oh, oh, oh you lion from the north,
Ooooooooh you lion from the north
Ingen vila till natten,
För i gryningen går vi mot strid
Vi är redo att dö för vår kung
Här på fälten vid Breitenfeld
Svenskar ge eld
Gud äro med oss
Strid för Er tro
Ge ingen nåd
Gott mit uns
Våran konung har talat
Hör vårt stridsrop, Gott mit uns
Från ett slagfält av blod
Föds en stormakt av mod
Ifrån Norden vi slår
Här vi står
Hör kanonerna dåna,
Hör en här som marscherar i takt
När vi stormar vid Breitenfeld
Vänter död eller ära?
Blås till attack
Se till hans fana
Följ eran kung
Rid uti strid
Spent the night in formation,
To the battle we marched in the dawn...
We were ready to die for our king
On the fields of Breitenfeld
Fire at will
Aim for their cannons
Counter attack
Thunder of guns
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
On September the seventh
We filled their hearts with fear
Seven times they attacked on that day
Seven times they retreated
Cavalry charge
Follow that banner
After the king
Freedom we bring
Breaking their lines
Thousands of soldiers
Run for their lives
Legends arise
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?
Gick ut i strid för Sverige, blev döpt i blod
Där ute väntar döden, inte hjältemod
I fält där fränder faller, hörs ingen sång
Utmanar våra öden, ännu en gång
Långt hemifrån
Döpas och dö i strid
Och världen brann
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?
Och när min tid har runnit ut
Vem bryr sig då?
De kämpar på
Får en soldat ett värdig slut?
Få somna in
Försvinna bort
Och aldrig vakna
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?
Two ways to view the world so similar at times
Two ways to rule the world to justify their crimes
By kings and queens young men are sent to die in war
Their propaganda speaks those words been heard before
Two ways to view the world brought Europe down in flames
Two ways to rule
Has man gone insane?

Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war.
It spreads like disease,
There's no sign of peace.
Religion and creed
Cause millions to bleed.
Three decades of war.
From dawn to dawn they're fighting,
Die where they stand
The fog of war lies thick
When armies scorch the land.
When all of Europe's burning
What can be done?
They've been to war a decade,
Two more to come
Long way from home
Döpas och dö I strid

When they face death they're all alike
No right or wrong, rich or poor
No matter who they served before
Good or bad, they're all the same
Rest side by side now

Europa söker fred, och ingen annan stred
Generaler ifrån norr till verket skred
Ond
De plundrar
Bråd
De våldtar
Död
Se hele Böhmen står i brand
En stad står kvar
En här måste mätta sin mun
Till strid
(Genom strid)
Den plundrar sin väg
Ingen frid
(Ingen frid)
När Königsmarck går fram
Som ingen annan man
Som ingen annan kan
Brand å mord, ty Böhmen skall falla
Königsmarcks lag, låt den stiftas i Prag
Dränkt i blod, som svenskarna slår sig fram
Gör onda dåd
Ger ingen nåd
Erövrat stadens borg, en masslakt utan sorg
När de plundrat, bränt och skändat/skövlat på dess torg
Ond
Till märgen
Bråd
Till slakten
Död
En står å vänter över bron
Staden står kvar
På Karlsbron tog stridslyckan slut
För män
(För de män)
Som kämpat så hårt
Genom eld
De plundrat och gått fram
Som ingen annan man

Slaget om staden vid Vltavas strand
Där kriget bröt ut och där det tog slut
I trettio år har kriget krävt sin rätt
För de soldaten som svor eden
För de åtta miljoner som har mist sitt liv
Finns det ingen tröst i freden
While Europe speak of peace, all other battles cease
There's a man who aims for more than he can reach
Blood,
All over
Prague
On fire
Burn
All of Bohemia set ablaze
Stand on their own
The road to the city has been blocked
Denied
(They're denied)
To enter the gates
Though they tried
(Though they tried)
When Prague was called to arms
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake
Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most.
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood
Their city has been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashed
As the cannons crush the walls, the city shakes
Fear
Is spreading
Hate
Increasing
Death
And pain is all that Sweden brought
Rise and strike back
The walls of the city has been breached
Reclaimed
(They're reclaimed)
On that very night
Unsustained
(Unsustained)
They did it on their own
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake
Unconquered city on Vltavas shore
Start of the conflict and end of the war
Unconquered city on Vltavas shore
Is protected by its people
And thirty years ago the war begun
It has returned to where it started
Bortom Svea rikes gränser
Hörs ett kall från ovan jord
Följer kristendomens regler
Offensivens man, soldat i Jesu namn
För fränder, fosterland och konung
Genom elden skall han gå
Opåverkad inför ödet
Möter döden för sin religiösa tro
In i striden genom ett kulregn, Herrens vilja ske
In i striden går han på led
Tills han vitögat ser karolinen marscherar fram
Lade sitt liv i Guds han för sin konung och fosterland
Tills han vitögat ser karolinen marscherar fram
Moral och religion förenar
Mod och brödraskap består
Att smäda Guds namn, möta döden
Offensivens man, soldat i Jesu namn
Fader Vår, som är i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja,
Såsom i himmelen så ock på jorden
Giv oss idag vårt dagliga bröd
Och förlåt oss våran skuld
Fram, går som en man
En hel armé marscherar på led
Rädslan de glömt Herren har dömt
Redo att livet ge
När konungens här
Fienden ser med hissat baner
Rädslan de glömt Herren har dömt
Hör hur de ber sin bön
The Caroleans Prayer
Far beyond their nations' borders
There's an army on the march
For religion, kng and glory
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Taking orders from the heavens
Through hostile fire they will march
Unaffected by the volleys
Facing death their faith will keep their fear at bay
Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Morale and discipline unites them
A common faith to keep them strong
Always on their way to heaven
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done,
As it is in heaven on earth
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
Ahead, facing the lead
An army of Swedes, performing God's deeds
Showing no fear, their judgement is near
Making their sacrifice
When the king and his men
Their enemies sight, prepare for the fight
Banners held high, ready to die
Hear how they praise the Lord

Hela Europa ska böja sig för min armé
Vad jag vill skall bli mitt och jag dräper dig

I Have never before been so stoked to see a shoe and hear of its construction. Lindybeige, you are a remarkable man.
See the white in their eyes. Caroleans are marching on!
I dont know much about medieval boots, but I know a fair bit about modern work boots, and you hands down get what you pay for. I've worn dozens and dozens of different brands and price ranges, and the most durable, comfortable, and best wearing ones are always mostly high quality leather. I'm a facilities manager for an cast acrylic factory, which is a fancy way of saying I'm Mr Fixit. I used to wear a Fitbit step counter and I averaged 6 miles in a 9 hour day for the year I wore it. I have a pair of timberland pro-series steel toe work boots. I've had em for a little more then 2 years and by my quick math I have roughly 3,000 miles on em. They aren't much to look at anymore, but they're still waterproof, and I have a suprising amount of tread left. They cost me about $170 which to me at least has been one of my better investments hahahaha.
Couldn't agree more.
I spent 180 dollars for a pair of Redwings over 5 years ago.
Pointy shoes are also phenomenally uncomfortable.
Those don't look too bad, though they are tailored.
No they are not, they don't squash your toes
Slim Tony Many of us still have non-pointy feet with well spread out toes. Fortunately, a few select companies still make foot-shaped footwear, so we don't need to get bespoke for our daily needs.
Carbon 12 & supple.....
Yes I'm loving these armour videos it's really interesting. Can't wait to see the full suit of armour
Is there a reason for the laces to be on the outside lateral part intead of the inside? that way it may be easier to tie by putting your foot on your other knee while sitting.
PabloM02 But the outside is more accessible to your squire.
It goes without saying that I am utterly irritated by how entertaining you can make such simple subject material. Then again, that's partially why I subscribed.

hey lindy,
i would love it if you would do a video about girls und panzer
I didn't know I needed this until just now.
Lloyd: You should get yourself a lacehook as used to tighten/loosen figure skate boots.
Where do I apply for that squire position?
I was visiting Ft. Ticonderoga in New York, where they make all the uniforms including shoes as was done in the 18th century. I mentioned the term cobbler and was roundly corrected that a cobbler fixes broken shoes, a shoemaker creates new shoes.
Just FYI in case you ever visit the fort.
SEE THE REICH
IN PAIN
TRY TO SAVE BERLIN
IN VAIN...
you can lace the shoe differently with the same piece of leather to make it more accessible or maybe cut it lace each side and tie it so you just have to untie a knot each time
1:18 Yeah, but is it H I S T O R I C A L P O W E R M E T A L ?
When you pointed out the one flawed stitch, I remembered a neat fact about rug makers in (I think) Turkey.
When they make a rug, they purposefully make one of the knots incorrectly, so as to keep themselves humble.
You know, the boot has two holes at the bottom, doesn't it?
Well, oh so happens that the lace ALSO has two ends, innit?
Well, Lloyd, you take the two ends of the lace and stick 'em through the two holes.
Walla, now instead of 1 end at the top, if you laced them normally, now you can lace them as normal.... lace up boots?
As far as I know, at the very least, hope you can find peace of mind if you manage to lace them in any other manner.
Walla...?
Roxfox i think ghee means voila
Ghee...?
Cross-lace is a much, much later invention, spiral lacing is where it's at for the majority of european post-roman history.
Heretic!

I would have put the laces, (lace?) on the other side of the boots so they would be easier to get to, but I don't know if that would be period.
I can be your squire.
Interestingly I relaced my army GP ankle boots to a single lace precisely because it was quicker to put on and off. There were eyelets though to make it a little smoother. The trick was to knot the other end and put most of the slack in the middle.
That GARGOYALS font.
Lloyd, that sort of lace arrangement is sometimes used just to try out the shoe. I've seen it hundreds of times on dress shoes at the shoe store. What you're supposed to do is to take it all out; and when you put it back in you simply align the middle of the lace with the center point between the bottom two holes, and just lace it up normally from there.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say the word 'superfluous' (unnecessary / too much). Granted, I've never been to England, so that might explain it (I'm Dutch).
I can recall the first time I encountered it. I was nine years old and it was in red ink, written by my teacher on my work.
Ha! I use to word in daily speech. In fact, I use the modification of the word in superfluities even more often. I English hard y’all! Get on my level ... git gud scrub,😜.
Just a tiny point but the maker of the shoes is a cordwainer. A cobbler is a repairer of shoes and boots. Well, it would have been in the period the boots are looking to be from.
Also you can tie a knot on the end of the string, so you don't accidentally pull it out

Why was there no heel on medieval boots? Was it a problem with the materials they had, or did nobody think it up yet?
The heel first appeared in Europe around the 17th century, and was more of a fashion trend for the higher classes, to make rich people look fancy and protect their expensive shoes from the dirt. In medieval times people used wooden overshoes for that purpose.
People walked with their toes first rather than heel first, taking away the need to ever develop a heel.
Seasons - I doubt that.
cowboys called dibs on them is all.
ruclips.net/video/EszwYNvvCjQ/видео.html
Interestingly the technique used to lace the boots is still common on modern combat boots in the military as it allows fast cutting of the laces to remove the boot.
Hey beige when can we expect to see you wearing the full suit?
samuel pereira what a silly question, of course
When he Said
where? on youtube, of course
abcpea When not where.

Might want to add something to the end of the laces to keep them from slipping through. It would need to be fairly easily removable though in case the laces break.

I'm looking forward to seeing you do the lindy hop in your full harness and period boots! :D
wont these be slipery? shouldnt you have hobnails?
They will be very slippery, yes. No running on carpets.
While medieval do occasionally wear hobnails for grip and while roman shoes did sometimes have them, I believe there is next to no evidence anyone in medieval Europe used them in shoe making...
Medieval reenactors I meant.
When I got a pair of Sabatons From Steel Mastery. I requested they leave two holes near the toes. I then got a custom pair of red leather shoes just like these from Etsy and punched holes in the leather near the toes to tie lace through the shoe and sabaton. The leather straps in my expereince that hold the toes wear rather quickly. And will fail rather quickly too. So this ties the sabaton to the shoe and have worked very well ever since.
The Britishness is making cups of hot tea appear around me, I'm Texan, I don't like this, send help.

evan Fallacy. I'm Texan and been drinking hot tea my entire life. Grandma and grandpa did the same. Iced tea or lemonade is only for the hotter summer days. Enjoy hot coffee when we don't feel like tea too. Iced coffee never. THAT is a modern invention and the equivalent of sacrilege 'round our parts. ✌
Paul Alvarado I can agree about iced coffee, but not about hot tea, the only respectable time for a Texan to drink hot tea is when you have a sore throat.
There are now fish and chips! Help!

I would love to see the look on that one guys face who DOESN’T know who Sabaton is...

My dear sir mayest thou with utter graciousness inform me on who hath shod your feet and gloved thou hand
