    ======= "Coat Of Arms" LYRICS =======
    At dawn envog 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 theire 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
    ========= Historic Fact ==========

    We have a joke in Greece:
    Mussolini stated that, since Greece was small and not so well protected, the invasion would be so easy that by the noon he would be drinking coffee in Acropolis (historic fact).
    After a few months, a coffee guy goes
    to an Italian military officer and tells him: "Tell Benito Mussolini that his coffee in Acropolis is getting cold."

      Finland has a similar one, but not really a joke: Stalin said that invading Finland would be over in a week and he had already told the Russian troops to greet Swedish border officers with a kind tone. Then they suffered millions of losses and ultimately failed to invade Finland.

Typically, all Italian city states like Venice were against the ottomans and frequently disrupted their operations, Italians will once again remember what it was to have the barbarian flag waving against them in the Adriatic sea. Lets hope they will not remember it too late.

    I'm a grown ass man and my tears just keep dropping every time a hear this song . My great grandfather fought against the Italians . He told us it was pure hell. They didn't only fought against the Italians but also against the circumstances that all where against them . Greeks had little food and equipment in compare to the Italians , the temperature up in the mountains was something you can't imagine . Italians bombarded the Greek lines heavily bad couldn't break them . They sent my papou back wounded from schrapnels and doctors in hospital told him he also had major frostbites on both feet and that they had to cut the feet of. My grandfather didn't let em cut them off and after some time he healed completely. He lived until his late 70's. 🇬🇷

    My grandfather was an italian soldier but he didn't want to kill greeks because there's a sort of friendship between Greece and Italy. Anyway, when Italians lost the campaign he ran in a farm and ate the same food that was given to the pigs. One day he was rescued by the farmer and he remained in Greece for 5 years until the war was over. When he got back to Italy he invited those greeks to join his wedding and he even learned greek.
    Edit: He was in the Pinerolo Division, the only division that refused to lay down their arms against the Germans in the continental Greece. He was a Sergent of that division and after 8th September 1943 they fought side by side with the Greece resistance until they were sent back to Italy in 1945.

I am so glad that the Greco-Italian friendship didn't fracture. Greece has been in many wars through the years with many countries and the relationships with many of those countries are not the best even nowadays (for ex. Turkey, Germany).

    I'm Greek, my grandfather fought at the WW2 at the fight of Crete, Mylopotamos. The german troops were dropping with parachutes, thousands of them. He told me back in 2000 before he die that they were so many that the sky turned dark as they were covering the sun light. He got captured after this lost fight and managed to go back home after a couple of years in the end of the war since they were trading prisoners. My grandma and the rest of the family thought he got killed so they already had his funeral etc, yet he turned back home to north Greece like a living dead. When i asked once at a christmas dinner if he killed anyone his face went red and his eyes went full of tears and the only reply i got from him was "my kid the soul of a human turns into abyss during war". I was 10 by this time and i didn't understand much. Now 20 years later i understand that the guy took out a couple of lives that he didn't really want to. War is a bad thing with no winners.

      @@kraus4915 our roots as family are at Eastern Thrace, not Smyrna. When turks attacked, the whole village moved to North Greece as a caravan to save themselves. My grandpa(same person of the story above) was a baby and he was crying so my grand grandmother left him under a bush in order to secure the safety of the caravan during night traveling from Turkish/Bulgarian scouts. The leader of the caravan asked her where the kid was and he went back with the horse to find him and get him. When this guy died my grandpa was crying on his funeral calling him father. His real father was captured and forced from turks to fight for them at middle east so my grand grandmother had to leave her home with few things and 5 kids alone. This happened during 1913-1918.

    And it's true. My grandfather was in the Greek army during the Italian invasion. He was fatally wounded by a shot in his stomach and another near his lungs. He was about 20-something at that point and my grandmother was still waiting for him at home. He left his last breath in the snow covered battlefields of the Albanian mountains. RIP to all the fallen soldiers and heroes. Ελευθερία ή θάνατος! (Freedom or death)

    (Correct Text)
    Fun fact: When the Germans entered Greece through the "neutral" country of Bulgaria and threatened to envelope the entire Greek army while it was fighting the Italians in Albania, the Greek general surendered only to the Germans. He was able to negotiate with the Germans to not take any soldiers prisoners and to even let the officers keep their sidearms. The Greek army was too proud to surrender to the Italians as they viewed them as an enemy they defeated. The German high command also generally respected the Greek army for lasting against a country with so much more resources so long and there are some mentions that Hitler blames the failure of Barbarossa to the delay because of the detour to the Balkans that the German army had to take it in order to secure Greece for the Italians.

On 24 February and 5 March 1943 declared major strike while the IPU organized massive demonstrations in Athens in order to abort the impending mobilization Greek workers to be sent to Germany. The strike led to cancellation of plans for mobilization. [53] [54] In the meantime, on February 27, 1943, died the poet Kostis Palamas. His funeral turned into a spontaneous popular protest of the people of Athens against the invaders. [55] Large rallies were held in Thessaloniki and other cities in Northern Greece on July 10, 1943 against the alleged expansion of the Bulgarian occupation zone. For the same reason there was a big strike in Athens on July 22, 1943. The massive demonstration was violently treated by the occupying forces, killing a total of thirty protesters. [56]

    My Grandfather fought in 3 wars. He was in ww2 with the Greek army on Africa, in the battles of El Alamein and then on Italy in battle of Monde Cassino. Then on 1951 on Korea and then on 1974 in Cyprus. He was in the tank devisions. Last year we lost him from heart attack.

    Dear Sabaton, as a Greek, i have no words to thank you about this song. I will add a poem written by Elytis, a greek poet, Nobel prize for literature, who fought the Italians back then:
    They came dressed up as “friends,”
    countless times, my enemies,
    trampling the ancient soil.
    And the soil never blended with their heel.
    They brought
    The Wise One, the Founder, and the Geometer,
    Bibles of letters and numbers,
    every kind of Submission and Power,
    to dominate the ancient light.
    And the light never blended with their roof.
    Not even a bee was fooled into beginning the golden game,
    not even a Zephyr into swelling the white aprons.
    On the peaks, in the valleys, in the ports
    they raised and founded
    mighty towers and mansions,
    floating timbers and other vessels,
    and their Laws decreeing the pursuit of their own profit
    they applied to the ancient measure.
    And the measure never blended with their thinking.
    Not even a footprint of a god left a sign on their soul,
    not even a fairy’s glance tried to rob them of their speech.
    They came
    dressed up as “friends,”
    countless times, my enemies,
    bearing the ancient gifts.
    And their gifts were nothing else
    but iron and fire only.
    To the open expecting fingers
    only weapons and iron and fire.
    Only weapons and iron and fire.

    I'm an American Army veteran whose grandparents came from south Italy. I still have friends in the Greek military and have visited the beautiful country. This song makes me think about the Greek Spirit. From Agrigento, to Messina, Calabria, Puglia, and the ass whooping the Nazis received in 1940. Greeks have always shown the world what a true fighting spirit looks like. Makes me proud to hopefully share the same ancestors.

    One of the toughest battles in the Grecoitalian war has happened in the "731 hill" it was named after it's hight 731meters, it was in a strategic point of great importance and it has been a primary target for Italian offensive since the begining. The Greek officer who was appointed for it's defence Lt D. Kaslas had given only one order. "No one moves from his position ,the enemy will only pass if even the last one of us fall". The hill was crumbled by Italian airforce and artillery for more than 6 days.... after the war the height of the hill was measured 726... 5 meters shorter was the result of fierce bombardment... the enemy never passed the line.....

    As a very proud Greek, I have to say, You did them justice. I almost cried when I found this song, an amazing song about my country from my favorite band :) Thank you Sabaton, you made my day, week, hell, even month.
