    ========= A Lifetime Of War LYRICS ==========
    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?
    A few will remain
    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 greed
    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
    Lifetime at war
    Has man gone insane?
    A few will remain
    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 greed
    Cause millions to bleed.
    Three decades of war.
    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
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    On May 23, 1618, the Bohemians went up against the Habsburg rule and threw imperial officials out of the window, marking the start of the 30 Years' War - a violent, bloody, disease-ridden war.

    Sabaton, I don’t know if you will see this, but hello my name is Ibrahim. I am from Yemen and now live in Egypt. This song hits me hard, very hard, especially the lyric “Religion and greed cause millions to bleed”. I have experienced this firsthand, having suffered through much of the Yemeni civil war, a war about religion and greed. This song made me tear up even a little. Thank you sabaton. You guys rock.

      I still remember when I first discovered Sabaton several years back. I was scrolling through RUclips listening to GMV's and I just happened to click on one that had the song "uprising" playing to it. Never heard the song before but I liked it. I also really love military history so once I found out what the song was about I did my best to backtrack and find out who actually made the song (video didn't do a good job at the information...) and I been here ever since

    I am from Sumy, Ukraine. And I think I will remember a moment from that war forever. When electricity was gone for a very long time, and I was lying on a couch in my headphones with my phone at about 12% charge hoping that it'll last until lights will go back on, and I was listening to that song. Just when I thought that there was no hope for electricity today, and it will probably go on only tomorrow. But the lights went back on right at the moment that song started playing! I had a feeling that I can't really explain. I felt happiness because of the lights, sadness because of the war, and now I guess I will remember this song for that moment forever. Thanks Sabaton for releasing these songs!

      Humanity's self-destructive tendencies may be timeless, but so is our nobility and strength to push against the evils of our own making. Ironically, I find the Warhammer 40k universe to be quite hopeful and motivational. Because of the grim darkness of the setting, because of the endless hordes of enemies who wish to wipe out humanity, because of the Imperium's own stupidity and backwards thinking costing them lives... It's in such places where hope shines most fiercely when we see that there are still people with the strength and wisdom to do what is right. After all, a torch is at it brightest when it is surrounded by darkness.

    This song feels like a story, one of a civillian watching an army march through their town, and walks up to the soldiers and starts to ask about them. They tell the civillian of their wars, their highest and lowest moments, the deaths and the bonds forged and severed by fire, before they reach the edge of the path that exits the town. The civillian stays behind, watching them slowly march away as they sing and cheer, slowly getting quieter and quieter..
