========= Sarajevo LYRICS ==========
For decades the Austro-Hungarian empire had been a
powerful influence in the heart of Europe
Resting on a legacy, their house kept stability, order and peace
But not everyone bowed to this power
In the summer of 1914 the archduke Franz Ferdinand of the empire
is visiting Sarajevo, unaware of the assassins awaiting him, and what will come
Two shots are fired and the archduke is dead
The empire cannot let this go unpunished,
and the first declaration of war is made.
From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It’s the war that will end all war!
Chaos and shockwaves spread from the Balkans across the globe
Alliances are put to the test, threats exchanged and armies are put on high alert
In the east the Russian Tsar is trying to calm the situation with his cousin
the Kaiser of Germany
But it is all in vain, the situation is out of control
War is unavoidable
The Battle of the Frontiers starts in August
as soldiers cross borders and bullets are fired in rage
War begins
========= Historic Fact ==========
The album "The War To End All Wars" opens with a song about the shots in Sarajevo and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which escalated the situation and is counted as a major cause for the outbreak of World War 1.

It's isn't on the RUclips Music Album. Kinda curious. Great song! Would be a great start to the album, ending with Versailles
It’s not on spotify either
Or iTunes. The album needs to start with this song.
Or Amazon music
Thank you so much from Bosnian people, not just for this song but for all of them.. and to Sweden for helping us when we needed help the most, by accepting so many Bosnian refugees.🤘😎🤘
As I've read somewhere in RUclips comments:
"The worst part of the Great War are not trenches, nor 20 millions dead human beings, but the fact it was the first."
Thanks Sabaton, greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
i dont know if it can even be counted in the top 10 worst things of WW1, but the archduke was probably the only man in Austria that could have stopped it from spiraling out of control. had it been anyone else his guiding hand would have saved millions.
"..,but the fact it would not be the last."
"..,but the fact it was not the war to end all wars."
And now we have a third
agreed, being the first of its kind gave mankind a sense that its worst achievement could be carried out, that being the terrible truth that such destructive and wanton destruction was possible... not so much what happened rather than what the possibilities of what it opened the doors for. just the fact that it was made possible is one of humanity's most terrible sins and its one we have sadly only improved upon ever since.

@@SteveMcbrain oh shit really??
@@SteveMcbrain Really? What happened?
One of my favorite things about this song is how the guitar solo is written in such a way so as to invoke a sense of chaos and fear, much like the outbreak of the Great War.
Thanks for your appreciation Elena!
Never thought of that. That's fuckin awesome
The hurry to scramble to arms as unprecedented violence descends.
Just goes to show how much thought & creativity they put into their music, they're a fantastic one of a kind band
"War is unavoidable." instant goosebumps and shivers. Such a mistic power in that song.
there is a wise word says "peace will never be gained unless there are wars".
war is the price for peace
mystic*
it is an expression of human competitivness
Singular wars are avoidable.
West and East avoided a war about the Cuba Missle Crisis, for example.
But, all of us, to simply reject warfare as a solution?
Sadly, that will not ever happen.
I walked the steps of Gavrilo Princip when I was in Sarajevo, the chills this gave...

I want to be a history teacher just so I can play Sabaton songs to my students
We fully support your aim here 😎
I studied at university of defence in Brno - CZ, once history lesson polish captain came to teach us about their history. When he spoke about hussars and how they saved Vienna and whole Europe he played Winged hussars. Still having goose bumps when thinking about it...
Hell yes
Don't let everyone know my lesson plans cause I actually do that
I would love this class
Gavrilo Princip was only 19 when he fired the shots that started the war. He was just a dumb kid swept up in a fervor to see the empire ruling his homeland driven out. It’s sheer random chance he wound up being, arguably, one of the most infamous assassins in history.
He Essentially Started 2 World Wars, If World War I hadn't started there would be no such thing as the Treaty of Versailles and therefore a document that Enraged A.H to claim back what he thought was Germans' Property essentially.
Glory Gavrilo!

Both songs are named after cities too!

@@anonymousleftwingtroll7677 And began the next.
Imagine next 2 Sabaton albums being solely about WW2. I could dig that. Better than all these lame suggestions to make a song about current events.
This song should be the pre-recorded song that they play before they come on stage! This song would definitely hype up any Sabaton crowd!
I think that would probably be their plan, especially in the way it's composed. In my mind they start appearing at around 2:35 when the bitching 🥁 🎸 part starts, and then at 3:59 Joakim comes out for the last chorus.
That would be so dope
@@P3TARK ooooh, I can already feel the crowd cheering, singing and being all hyped up
@@theindigodiamond2464 noch ein bier!
Ghost division as a starter is too much of a classic but it would be nice to hear Sarajevo for this album in particular.
"Nothing like what had come before"
Everyone thought it was gonna be a quick and glorious war, the one that would end all wars, nobody was prepared for the horror and lie that it truly was.
"From a shot that would change the world
Tensions rise and a war is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It’s the war that will end all war!"
Best lyrics ever
My man that's the the chorus it's the only part song (if you can even call it that) such a waste potential with this one, if they wouldn't have just cheaped out and had someone read a script they could have, you know, wrote actual lyrics to the song!?!

I'm a history teacher. I'll use this song in my lesson about the beginning of World War I. This band is FREAKIN' AWESOME!
How’d it go
Do you teach your students that Austro-Hungarians are occupiers in Sarajevo, that they annexed Bosnia 6 years before assassination of Franc Ferdinand, that this assassination was fight for freedom of southern Slavs, and that real reason for the beginning of Great War was that occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and aspiration of Austrian kaiser to occupy Serbia too, and erase Serbian country from the maps of Europe. Instead of that David beat Goliath once more, and Serbia continue to exist, but the great Austro-Hungarian empire disappeared from the European maps for good. That's the karma. 🙃
For the better explanation how strong and unbreakable libertarian spirit had Gavrilo, as well all other Serbs, is the text he wrote on the wall in his cell in Teresin prison: "Our shadows will walk around Vienna, wander around the court, scaring the lords". It means that even after death they will not stop to fight for freedom of their fatherland. And it's important to know that he was terrible torched in the prison almost every day to death. But it does not broke his spirit and will for fight for freedom till his last breath.
@@dragan024 Wow! Thank you for your passion. I definitely let my students know that Austria was conquering other people and oppressing them. However, I think it's a shame some Serbians see Gavrilo Princip as a hero; murdering a political leader and especially his pregnant wife during non-war time is a terrorist attack, not freedom-fighting. There are definitely alternatives to resisting oppression other than political assassinations. Now, if Austria-Hungary had been at war at the time with Serbia, I could see assassinating the Archduke would be a good idea since he was a military commander, but leave his wife alone so their kids wouldn't be orphaned. Yes, I understand the Hapsburg empire brought misery and death to Serbian families, but Princip was a thug who brought a more devastation from the war onto his people than any annexation would. I'm sure there are more noble heroes in Serbian history that people can look up to instead.
@@charlesroeckeriv6226 Just for your infomation Austrohungarion will atack Serbia anyway,thay nide that terrirory till today...thay think Dunow belong to them...
@@charlesroeckeriv6226 Archduke Franz Ferdinand im pretty sure had plans to federalize and stop oppression of slavic and other minorities within the empire, which was the only realistic chance to save it from total collapse. The only hope of the Austrian Empire surviving died with Franz Ferdinand.
I've seen it said a hundred+ times, but Sarajevo and Versailles are heavy hitting and makes you stop and think for a moment and as well as how some of the quotes can even be applied to the world of today is just heartbreaking
What, like "War is unavoidable?"
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@@moritamikamikara3879 I see what you did there
@@moritamikamikara3879 I see what you did there
In the "Heeresgeschichtliches Museum" in Vienna you can see the orginal car and blood stained uniform of Franz Ferdinand on display. Pretty powerful sight!
Some people said that the car is cursed because it has caused many death to its previous owners.
So much better than I thought it would be, being about an assassination. Expectations shattered and that’s always a good thing!
Agree! Expected "Inmate 4859" or "Ballad of the Bull"- vibe kind of song, got something waay better and unique! 🤩
Interesting fact that it was happened 28 of June, same date as Kosovo battle in 1389 (Serbs against Ottomans) with great losses on both side, definitely not smart move to invoke population making military parade on that date, there were few unsuccessful attempts, just moments before this one.
The full story of the assassination is absolutely bonkers, to the point where it'd be hard to tell much details about it in a song without losing the gravitas. Check out the Extra History video on the subject.
@@Meloncov Yeah, I’ve watched a video on the ridiculousness of the assassination that’s why I didn’t expect an absolute banger

Хвала Sabaton што одржавате сећање и ширите причу о великим борбама које је проживео народ Балкана кога ни дан данас нису успеле да сломе велике светске силе. Што би рекао владика Данило "Тврд је орах воћка чудновата, не сломи га ал’ зубе поломи" 🤘

The tragic irony is that Ferdinand was actually sympathetic to the Serbs’ plight
...which is precisely why the Black Hand targeted him. Zealots don't care about collateral damage, and the Black Hand believed there could be no true victory without bloodshed - that Serbia must emerge victorious from the forge of war in order to stand tall as an independent nation. Had Ferdinand ascended the throne and granted Serbia autonomy within the empire or full independence, the Black Hand would have seen that as a hollow victory borne on the pen of an Austrian autocrat. They wanted Austrians, and a lot of them, dead at Serbian hands. Little did the Black Hand know that their actions signed the death warrants of a full 25% of Serbia's population, and doomed the Western world to three decades of chaos and carnage.

"Nase ce sjen hodati po Becu, lutati po dvoru, plasiti gospodu!!!"Gavrilo Princip
ExYugovici opcenito a Srbi pogotovo u stotinama hiljada (najveca strana populacija Beca), danas hodaju tj. zive u Becu jer su otisli trbuhom za kruhom za boljim zivotom. Taj citat bi tek imao smisla da cetvrtina stranaca u Austriji nisu exYugovici. Srba u Austriji ima vise nego Slovenaca, Bosnjaka, Crnogoraca i Makedonaca zajedno. Toliko o tome citatu, koji bas i nije za citirat!
@@kolobara08 kako ti nije dosadno pisati iste komentare iznova.
The riff in this song is fucking brutal, its so good.
Goosepumps when you combine it with the story. Imagining Gavrilo going in to do the assassination, goosepumps man.
This and versaille are masterpieces.
Especially this one where the sound of the song with the narration sets the stage, and the tone is ominous and sinister, like the creeping feeling of an inevitable war coming. And the sound gradually changes as the song progresses to become more and more frantic until it absolutely just goes off the rails and that is when you know that the war has started. When the song goes hectic and almost hateful it transitions over to a somber and almost desperate sound. It's just perfect.
The tone, the voice, the lyrics are so perfect in this song it's hard to describe, and the story the song tells perfectly reflects those feelings and those chaotic and frigthful days before the war to end all wars would start.
Bravo Sabaton. Bravo
And thus.. the drums of war thundered for four bloody years.
Amazing, loved the energy from this!
The thing I love most about your albums is when they tell a story from start to finish. It really solidifies that online moniker you guys have of being bards, telling stories. Your storytelling is what makes you stand out and I love when stories are told through music and albums.
Carolus Rex does this the best imo, especially the Swedish Version, it's so powerful. The Rise and Fall of the Swedish Empire told through epic metal music. Incredible.
The next best I think is Great War, because ending with In Flanders Fields is just like being hit with a truck.
And then comes this- I really like the musical parallels of Sarajevo and Versailles, the naming parallels AND the parallels between GW and TWTEAW throughout the album.
In fact, I would LOVE, I would LOVE, a special double album about WWI that combines these two albums into one- I think that would be really awesome, and bring the story into a more complete loop.
However, it's because of this, that I find the lack of this song on digital releases of the album to be so frustrating, and indeed, even heartbreaking. The story isn't right without it. How can I listen to the story without the first chapter?! How can I end the story without the beginning? It feels WRONG.
And what's more is, I don't understand WHY.
I don't want to believe the rumours that this is a marketing ploy to boost physical sales, I really don't, because I think that would be a shitty move. Especially to do so without any notice prior.
So I really instead just hope, it's a tech issue, and you'll resolve it once you've sorted out the Vinyl Ordering issue. Please do. Your millions of listeners worldwide, who cannot get or have to wait for a physical album in the mean time, want to listen to your new album as the complete story. Not a cut off one.
Please give us this song on digital releases~!
I find it incredible how they managed to musically adapt pure escalation right from the beginning of the song. Unsettling yet powerful pushing
WW1 and WW2 army songs are the only songs that 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 beat Sabaton. But nothing else is even gonna get close to this level of music.
Gavrilo Princip ! Long live Serbia !
Thank you once again for making a song in which a Serb is a main character.Most of the people don't know that in ww1 Serbia lost 56.5% of total male population...
Anyway,we really love Sabaton in Serbia and with every song that love grows even stronger.
Stay strong brothers🇷🇸☝️🇸🇪
Being a “main character” as a terrorist is no heroic thing.
@@zaxxxppe he freed us from the tyrany so he is a hero to us
@@jovanmucibabic1884 Yeah, “freed” by cowardly murdering a man & his wife and sending a third of his own nation to death. Then failing to hang himself with a towel in prison. What a hero.
@@zaxxxppe before the murders,Austria-Hungary was slaughtering Serbs in Bosnia and Krajina...
The war was going to begin anyways,they just needed the cause and this,this was a perfect one.
@@jovanmucibabic1884 Serbian government was supplying peasant raids on Austro-Hungarian and Bosnian border for decades prior to the war. The statement “war was going to happen anyways” has no historical relevance - it was still Gavrilo who fired the shot and threw Europe into a slaughterhouse of a war.
I've got randomly recommended to the symphonic version of the album at RUclips Premium Player. Listened to it all, loved it.
Then I saw that it was a symphonic version of another album, and based on true events of WWI. I was mind blown!
I've been listening to it several times a day the last week. I am 33 and I think the last time that happened I was 17.
Thank you very much for this fine piece of art, Sabaton!
Thank you very much for your message!
Anyone else feeling like we are living in similar times now?....
How so?
@Marcos Bradanovic well the build up to a war that us going to be unavoidable...
war always will be unavoidable, as the sniper from TF2 once said "as long as there's 2 people left on the planet: someone's gonna want someone dead"
Неће моћи слободно да шета онај који мом народу смета!
"Europe sleepwalked into war, triggered in earnest by an angry 19-year old boy, Gavrilo Princip."
Christopher Clarke.
This song gives me such chills knowing that my great great grandfather fought in this horrible war
1:22 Has to be one of my favorite Sabaton moments. It perfectly encapsulates the tension and anxiety one must have felt after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, wondering how the empires of the world would respond, hoping cooler heads would prevail. But then the guitar riff hits like a ton of bricks, signaling that things are only going to escalate. Helps that the riff also happens to be one of the hardest of any Sabaton song!
Two shots. Thats all it took to start one, and even debatedly, both world wars, and cause millions of deaths
Hands down best opening song of a record ever. Will be hard to top. Strong excellent narrative voice, chorus to the point, solo that's absolutely epic and a closure that actually brings horror.
*War begins...*
i... cannot.. stop... listening to this...
Everybody in the Balkans are proud of the shot that had changed the world !
Id have to disagree its not really sometbing to be proud of but definitely a cool part of history
@@greenfogguni9001 it depends how you look at it, you can say that it was not a smart move or it should not have happened in that way. But you shouldn't feel shame in any way...
@@djoledjole4864 not feeling shame, but just saying it isnt something to take pride in
@@greenfogguni9001 lets agree to disagree
@@djoledjole4864 agreed

Another great song. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Im thinking on learning polish but do you think its hard?
@@Yagirus just saying, good luck with the pain
@@papamauryc2300 well f*ck
I bought the great wars album after being introduced to you last Friday. You are bloody awesome. Thank you for the amazing tracks. I love En livstid i krig. I do not think I have recovered from the emotional rollercoaster yet. Wow, just wow!!!
Welcome on board and thanks a lot for your message!
@@Sabaton can you tell me what is this song about i didn't understand it
@@Cocomelonander42069 About Saravejo
@@Cocomelonander42069 Archduke Franz feridanad is shot dead in Serbia, Austria declares war on Serbia for this, there ally German stepped in too, Russia, France, and England joined in Serbias defense. When so many of the worlds most powerful nations are pitted it is called a world war, the first.
The chorus always gives me goosebumps.
Austrian-Hungary Empire: "Bend the knee!"
Gavrilo Princip: No.
*Two shots fired*
Put this story into song perfectly, captured a certain eeriness that makes it absolutely perfect. Completely captures the feeling of what is to come.
The character of V in the V de vendetta is based also in Gavrilo a men who only need one action, to change the world.
he knew his actions will meant war, but he doesnt knew that his nations and ideals will be destroyed and the entire of face of europe and the world will never be the same.
one bullet to change history;
because war, war never changes.
Legend says the Balkans are still on fire today, oh wait.
We are honored to have two songs on the same album dedicated to Serbs and our deeds! Thank you 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Wouldnt exactly call the assasination through a terrorist organisation of the most pro serb austrian archduke and his wife and mother of children as a "deed"
Gavrilo was a Bosnian. The Bosnian who grew up in Bosnia. The Bosnian that was raised by Bosnian culture, Bosnian tradition, Bosnian language. The Bosnian who loved his homeland Bosnia and followed the ideology of free state where all south slavs are free and united. He was a member of an organisation called "Young Bosnia". He is the Bosnia that killed occupants' leader in Bosnian capital city - Sarajevo. Gavrilo is Bosnian hero.
@@nedimredzovic3759 i doubt that you see it how it was in reality. He worked for an organisation that wanted a bigger serbia, his parents where bosnian SERBS so what you say is just a bunch of lies.
@@nedimredzovic3759 and Bosnians are Muslim Serbs, so he's a Serbian hero
@@l.h.9747 One country's terrorist another's freedom fighter. Slavic people resisted western colonialism.
The narration during the riffs, unhf! Feels good.
Franz Ferdinand´s Car and Uniform are on Display at the Arsenal in Vienna !
The Arsenal is the Military Museum from Vienna.
"Our shadows will walk through Vienna
Wander the court
Frighten the Lords"
Gavrilo Princip
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand is quite scary if you truly think about it: A single 19 year old boy decided all of humanity's fate for the rest of eternity in what must have been mere seconds. He on his own put us on the path of the World Wars, which led to the computer, equality and nuclear energy, which all led to our current society and conflicts. The Russian-Ukraine crisis, the golf wars, Vietnam, the nuclear arms race, the European Union, all because of two bullets
Europe was gearing towards a conflict ever since industrializing their militaries. All it took was a spark.
@@GameTavern2224 True, however Germany new that it couldn't win the war if they started it any later than 1914. It was now or never and if Franz Ferdinand never had been killed, the war probably would have looked a whole lot different
@@dekerser still. Something in me tells me if it wasn't the assassination it would have been something else
Vječna slava Gavrilu Principu! Sloboda!
The guitar solo's in this song are somthing else
When i visited Vienna, i had the chance to visit the museum of military history, and inside i saw something i was not quite prepared for and that i won't ever forget. I saw the last uniform of Franz Ferdinand, yes, the very one in which he was assassinated. I saw the dress of his wife, the car and the gun of Gavrilo too. The bullet holes in the car and the vest, the long since dried blood that only darken the blue uniform ... the sight of such historical items, enshrined like relics, testimony of the very start of a bloody and history turning war gave me chills i would never forget.
