======= "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 ==========
Prior to the Greco-Italian War’s commencement, the Greeks were given an ultimatum - to permit Italy’s occupation of certain strategic points in the country or face an Italian invasion. They chose to stand their ground and fight like their brave ancestors.

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."
Ο παππούς μου το έλεγε πάντα στης 28 Οκτωβρίου
Και Έσπασα στα Γέλια 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
omfg i died laughing
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.
hey Benito do you wana my coffee? Μολὼν λαβέ!!!
your Country is still out of Money and a shame for the EU.
At Menton, on the French-Italian border, a Frenchman put up a sign that advised, «This is French territory; Greeks, don’t pursue the Italians past this point».
That's fucking legendary. Props to that dude
+1 Respect to that Frenchman
That Frenchman knew, huh
This songs makes me proud of being Greek, even though I'm not
It's a pretty normal feeling
If you live anywhere in the West, in a very real way, you are Greek.
If you live in Europe you are more Greek than you actually think my friend , and this is not philosophical talk its straight facts
This songs makes me proud of being a brave human been
You dont need the greek blood to be greek you just need to fight for freedom thats our history this is Greece "Freedom or Death" many greeks in our days forget about it thats why we are a trash slave country
Mussolini : How is the invasion of Greece going ?
His Generals: Ah, the defence of Albania ? Very Well
Mussolini: THE WHAT???????
Lol, though I think if the Greeks had been annoyed enough and Germany had not intervened, they could probably have taken Albania
@Varsamis Kostas They are allies of whomever that can bring them money. Do not forget that after WW2 Italy handed over the Dodecanese to Greece willingly. 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.
@@davidandmartinealbon3155 they could have taken Albania if Germany hadn't interfered but i dont think Italy would have fallen just because Greece was still using WW1 era equipment but if the Albanian stalemate lasted long enough i think american supplies would have been enough.

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. 🇬🇷

I know right
I know right
And i'm not even a greek.
good, your government and education sytem shouldn't push natonalism (unless your country is being invaded or under occuptaion)
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.
JinkenNaples Such an amazing story
damn
My great-grandfather fought Italians and he had a diary that he wrote that he didn't want to kill Italians and he knew that they were forced to fight and he had to defend his country. 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).
now thats a nice story
Well my grandfather once told me that some Italians didn't want to fight Greeks nor the Greeks the italians so sometimes they even retreated with only firing some warning shots
The blue and white gang respect from GREECE🇬🇷🇬🇷🇫🇮🇫🇮🇬🇷🇬🇷🇫🇮🇫🇮
My grand-father fought in the Albanian front for Greece, was wounded, and then sent back to fight again. He was awarded a War Cross for bravery. He wrote for us a full memoir before he passed away. My dad, who doesn't even like metal music plays this song again and again. Thank you Sabaton.

Hail brother
When are the Greeks not outnumbered? For thousands of years they are the few always fighting against the many and yet, they are still around. Truly a perennial people! 🇬🇷🇬🇷
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.

@@UntitledDudFromLV the Lithuanian Uprising was against Soviets, we loved the Germans, welcomed them as liberators.
The German Reich launched Operation Barbarossa, the Lithuanians took advantage of it and began an uprising, started driving the Soviets out.
Apparently the rebels were driving out the Soviets faster than the Germans.
Then the LAF (Lithuanian Activist Front)
Started purging Jews in German-occupied Lithuania.
They were not collaborating with the Germans, they were a Lithuanian rebel group and at the time a lot of Lithuanian people hated the Jews, which is why LAF was killing them
I know Greece is glorious and all that but one of the most important facts is that in WW2 at least , all of Greece fought back. Women were climbing up the mountains risking their lives to deliver supplies to the front. Shows that their spirit was not to mess with.

(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.
(Old incorrect text)
Fun fact: Greece was the only country whose captured soldiers didn't go to Germany to work in labour camps during WWII.
I am afraid this is not true. A late uncle of mine was transported to Dachau from Cephalonia with other Greeks as forced laborers. They remained there till the end of the war.
They probably were jews then. The jews had the same treatment as in any other country. However the church did try its best to issue papers that proved that the jews that had them were in fact orthodox. This had little success.
alex999ar not to be a nerd but when you say only country does that mean in Europe or the whole world
@tricop i cant tell you for sure,but when an order of greeks workers being moved to germany was issued there was a huge backlash from the citizens,
On 24 and 25 March 1942 in Athens declared the first strike in occupied Europe. On April 16 declared another strike ended on April 21 with meeting the demands of the strikers. 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]

De que país eri washo
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.
Oooohh, this poem needs a metallising pass...
You don't invade Russia because of the Winter.
You don't invade Greece because they will fight until there's no one left.
any Greek reading this
thx for your heroic stand
greetings from Brazil
Thank you so much
Thank you Brazil
THANK YOU BRAZIL
Thanks. Don't worry, our generation will keep the Greek fighting spirit alive. Since, we become extremely tough over the many years of economic crisis and war threats by our neighbor, Turkey, a very strong and unpredictable enemy.
@MAMAOU 4Life Well, all except for that Greco-Turkish war in the 20's. Well, we got betrayed.
Long live Greece! Respect from the United States!
Andrew Dubya says a triangle with circle on the middle
Really now i dont know why i love us so much . It is propably because our beliefs are kinda th same
Hitler: Hello Mussolini did the invasion started?
Mussolini: Yes, We are currently defending Albania right now
Hitler: What?
Mussolini: What?
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.
“Greeks don’t fight like Heroes, Heroes fight like Greeks.”
Sadly that is not true, heroes dont fight like any nation. If the thing you said was true, istanbul was not a turkish land but they did very good in ww2, im not sure if this happened to us can we defend like that. Respect from Turkey
@@kreumat This didn't happened to you because you were afraid to declare war against the Nazis and you preffered the "nutral" way. On the other hand Greeks, a smaller but also "bigger" nation did what they used to do the last 2000 years. Fought against a bigger enemy and managed to hit him hard. It is easy to be the bully against small countries or injured countries like Syria. The difficult is to fight for justice and freedom even if the enemy is bigger than you.
@@kreumat a hero doesnt have to win all its battles and through history Greeks have fought with almost unmatched heroism, the only nation I could thing that has done the same through history is Poland
@@UwU-xk5cx a hero might not win all battles, but if hero losing all important battles, is he a hero or is he a warrior?
Yusuf Terzi heroes won the first battle and at the second they managed to delay the German advance so long that when the time came again to march to the East it was coming to winter... That's what heroes do, they sacrifice their life for the good even though the enemy might be much greater. They don't seat back and watch like some, let's don't say names......
And now we Italians and Greeks are best friends... If we ever fight again, we would do it together. 🇬🇷❤🇮🇹
Cristian Francesco Depalo not sure about that
Forgive but not forget
All Benito Mussolini's fault
@@jmacc9876 yes I mean exactly that with my comment. We FORGIVE the common italian soldiers who didn't exactly want to attack us and kill us but we DON'T FORGET Facism and all of the crimes he did to our fatherland and the whole world
I think Serbs and Greeks are brothers only on South Europe! 🇷🇸🤝🇬🇷
Italy: Surrender Greece! You will fall before our mighty army.
Greece: Tell me, what is our one famous battle from history?
Italy: Uh- Thermopylae?
Greece, loading a sniper rifle: *exactly*
Today is THE DAY! Thanks from Greece Sabaton, you honor our grandfathers' fights.

Greece is one of those nations that everyone secretly wishes was an empire
We was 2 times Empire as Macedonian Empire and Byzant Empire
Our time is not yet over after we conquer turkey and liberate our lands it will be Hellenic Empire
God willing
We will try again in the future⚔️
@@DimiosTheGreatGR (mehter starts playing) I dont think so.
Δήμιος I Hope so, I want to go to Constantinople instead of Istanbul
"Secretly"? More like openly for sure
Happy 28th of October to all the Greeks from Italy
Thank you!
💙🤍
As the Greeks fight everyone around. So the Irish do so. God bless Greece!
Greeks LOVE the Irish. They're kind of like their spiritual kin way up north. Both have similar histories of resistance of the few against the more numerous. Both are a peaceful, happy people BUT if you mess with them.....God help you!
@@obabas80 that’s very encouraging to hear. They’re our European brothers in arms. Thank you!
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.....

@@dimstav76 consider that Badoglio was near english and have give italy a Lost , generals traitors have says: it will be no resistance
dimstav76 wow great story
5 meters deep by effect of bombs and artillery and their defenders still held the position without retreating... That's shocking.
Most badass story I ever heard
No country is more loved and strong like Greece and it's people.Cheers from Scotland mates!
i dont think anyone likes us anymore XD you know...crisis
So what mate ? theres no country that aint in some kind of crisis.Theres no country that alot of people arent starving.They just focused on Greece because they can do nothing without her.Don't let yourself up it'll pass sooner or later. :) "Greece never dies" i think i said it right haha!
That means a lot to us Greeks thanks.
I'm just being honest.
lol, they take away our money and still sit on their asses.
Today is a day of celebration for my country greece , it's the only nation to celebrate the beginning day of a war and not the victory day.... you don't mess with a country like that.... congratulations to Hellas, we always remember all the fighters . Internal Hellas
Happy No-Day my fellow Greeks❤️
A low bow to Greek valor.

One and a half year later the Russians showed the world what the world says about us.You are as strong and brave as us.Greetings from Greece💙🤍🇬🇷🇷🇺
Damn Greece has bad ass history. Respect from (Northern) Ireland :)
Northern Ireland or The Republic of Ireland?
That is because they have the spartan blood, and alexander the great as their inspiration, that's why
@@josephhugotjiong6741 and Heracles.... and Jason...and Achilles...and Odysseus...and so on..
Turty Squirty hey but y’all have leprechauns n shit. That’s a win
All of their history badass? Ahem Turkish-Greco war during 1921 Ahem
Proud to be Greek !!!
"For the sake of historical truth I must acknowledge that only the Greeks, out of all the opponents who confronted me, fought with daring courage and the utmost contempt for death."
It was May 4, 1941, when Hitler made this statement in the Reichstag
True.
Even though we fought on the other side, Finland salutes you.
Finland fought hard like Greece did, and I salute the hellas from my Finnish heart!
Finland didn't have a choice. England tried to help Germany cut them off, and Finland had to rely on German help.
+Josh Franklin U know that commonwealth forces fought on the russian side in the finnish war :D
+JoleX Do u know this is Swdish (and kinda Czech) band ?

As a Turk, I respect Greeks who not only protected their country from fascist invasion, but also pushed them back like the gigachad they are. Much love and respect neighbors 🇹🇷❤🇬🇷
Mpravo
Thank you
You are a respected turk
This is so sad, i didn't see any message from my countrymen, Serbs, well thank you Greeks for resisting, as karadzic said during nato bombing of Serbia "We don't have many friends right now, but our only friends are the God and the Greeks" ♥️🇬🇷🇷🇸♥️🇷🇸🇬🇷♥️

Thanks you Sabaton your are wonderful
Freedom or death
I would be lying if I said I didnt get chills, especially with the video clip knowing how bad the Albanian border was. My grandpa fought there.
For heroes like him we create music.

Avalon Delta The Greeks of today haven’t done anything worth thanks lmao
What do you say, in Hellas ( this is the real name of Greece) has got stuck with all of the refugees and illegal immigrants who ,otherwise, would be expanded all over the europe!
Itz Deathstroke remember that it was our grandfathers that beat the Italians 80 years ago. So your argument is invalid.
Is it weird that most Greeks have that charm or something that makes people either want to be your friend, or just want to fight you for no reason at all (legit only 4 people wanted to fight me at my high school, I showed up, they did nothing)
Poland here.. you lucky bastards.
My grand father fought in this war!
As an Italian, I feel like Greece and Italy are two brothers and i absolutely love this song
Culturally, Greece and Italy have a lot in common -- so they should be friends, and would be if it wasn't for some of their leaders and for nearsighted geopolitical rivalries!
Hellas!
''Come back with your shield, or on it!''

As a Greek this ong makes me proud of my country and of my ancestors! I believe all Greeks are thankful for this song! Keep up the great job!
They went for a country whose flag literally said freedom or death....... And rest is history.
RESPECT from Poland to all Greek !
Then the winged hussrars arrived.Love Poland from Greece

My grandpa died In the Albanian front while he was fighting the italians. RIP to all the fallen ones. Greece ll never forget you.
He is immortal as the heroes of Hellas
May he rest in peace
We made sure to get revenge for him my friend. May he rest in peace and see his ancestors and proudly say he helped stop the fascists!

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.
I'm a Swede, and I always weep listening to this song. Freedom is the most valuable thing to be found on earth. Glory to Greece!
