Father time

Song of the day;;

→ Sabaton - Uprising

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 never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight

They were dying side by side

And the blood they shed upon the street

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

Yay for another war song.

Song of the day;;

→ Sabaton - Soldier of 3 Armies

Started out as a reserve

Soon promoted when deserved

And the legend has begun

With a bounty on his head

The Red Army wants him dead

Soviet enemy number one

Cross of Mannerheim

Addicted to the war game

Never-ending flame

Victory reclaimed

Oh, we remember, we remember

We remember

Shout Lauri Törni's name

A soldier of three armies knows the game

Keeps their echo from the past

Rise from beyond your grave

Son of Finland and a Green Beret

May you rest in peace at last

Lauri Allan Törni

Crossed the water, a new start

War still beating in his heart

A new legend has been born

Started out as a reserve

Soon promoted when reserved

Changed his name to Larry Thorne

Cross of Mannerheim

Addicted to the war game

Never-ending flame

Victory reclaimed

Oh, we remember, we remember

We remember

Shout Lauri Törni's name

A soldier of three armies knows the game

Keeps their echo from the past

Rise from beyond your grave

Son of Finland and a Green Beret

May you rest in peace at last

From the Finnish lakes

Into Germany and USA

All the awards he came across

Cross of Mannerheim

An Iron Cross, a Bronze Star, Purple Heart

One distinguished flying cross

Shout Lauri Törni's name

A soldier of three armies knows the game

Keeps their echo from the past

Rise from beyond your grave

Son of Finland and a Green Beret

May you rest in peace at last

So, long time no see. It's been always three weeks since I last posted here and I do have a good reason (no, I wasn't procrastinating). I got sick during the last days of my autumn holiday, and I went into ketoacidosis (or whatever), so I had to stay at the hospital for one night. I'm all right now, though, I wasn't in school yesterday, but since I feel normal and I can eat again I was in today and it's all good. Or not. I don't know. Anyway, this song is about Lauri Törni, and you can read about him more from somewhere if you're interested.

Song of the day;;

→ Sabaton - White Death

Almost night, a crimson horizon

Painting thousand lakes red

As the army approach from the east

A hunter is watching his prey

All alone, a man and his gun

Wanders into the wild

Tracks you down, you cannot hide

Once he is onto your trail

Into the night, a flash in the darkness

White Death is heading your way

The fear to his foes, a hero at home

Hundreds will fall by his gun

You are in the snipers sight

The first kill tonight

Time to die

You are in the bullets way

The White Death's prey

Say goodbye 

After the dawn, when morning is broken

Snow once white turns to red

Hundred soldiers, we have them on sight

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, a man and his rifle

Embodied the sisu of Finns

Stay out of sight and cover your head

When he pulls the trigger you are dead

You are in the snipers sight

The first kill tonight

Time to die

You are in the bullets way

The White Death's prey

Say goodbye

You are in the snipers sight

The first kill tonight

Time to die

You are in the bullets way

The White Death's prey

Say goodbye

(You are in the snipers sight)

Snipers sight

(You are his first kill tonight)

First kill tonight

(Say goodbye, say goodbye)

Say goodbye

(You will fall by his gun)

(You are in the snipers sight)

Snipers sight

(You are his first kill tonight)

First kill tonight

(Say goodbye, say goodbye)

Say goodbye

(White Death is coming for you)

This song is about a Finnish soldier and sniper Simo Häyhä, nicknamed White Death. He has the highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills, a total of 505, in any major war.

Song of the day;;

→ Sabaton - Talvisota

Rise of nations pride

Russians on a route to ruin

Kreml is more than certain to win

Sent away an army to the west

Blizzard reigned the ground were chosen

Snow was deep and hell were frozen

Stalin were too eager to invade

He thought of the might he possessed

And not of his foe

Rage of winter

Rise, nations pride

Hold what's yours

Strike 'em where it hurts

Fight, hold your ground

Winter war

Reinforce the line

Split them into small divisions

Rip 'em of the conquest visions

Motti tactics used with great result

Snipers move unseen in snowfall

Force them to retreat and recall

Fight the Russian rule and their demand

With Molotov cocktail in hand

No fear of their tanks

Death or glory

Rise, nations pride

Hold what's yours

Strike 'em where it hurts

Fight, hold your ground

Winter war

Reinforce the line

A slice of a knife to a throat

And their blood turns to ice

Talvisota

Rise, nations pride

Hold what's yours

Strike 'em where it hurts

Fight, hold your ground

Winter war

Reinforce the line

I'm not a huge fan of Sabaton but this song is fucking ace. It's just... I mean, I don't know. I'm really interested in Talvisota and all of the other stuff like that so I guess that's why I like it. And besides, we Finns are fucking rad. That's why.
