Taking place from February 17, 1915, until January 9, 1916, the Battle of Gallipoli was a long and controversial attempt to reach and occupy Constantinople (now known as Istanbul) during the First World War. The campaign resulted in 213,000 casualties and cost 44,000 allied troops their lives.

@@earlpurisima2194 always think of that. Our brothers in different uniform dont have intentions to kill one another. Its the stupid politicians commanding them.
Commenting on the Gallipoli Campaign, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk said: “Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives. You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”
I am a Turk with lineage of martyrs in all around Ottoman Empire including my mothers great uncles resting in Gallipoli. When I was residing in Kenya, I had British neighbours and one day her cousin from Australia came to visit them. She learned that I was a Turk when we were drinking tea together and she looked shaken and said that her uncles never came back from Gallipoli. I never felt any stranger that close to me. Lots of love and respect to all those who have fallen and to their relatives.
As the daughter of Australian's who died in your country, I feel the same way about you and your kin. I'm sorry the British Empire tried to make us enemies. You are not enemies to me. You are kindred spirits.

Here in Australia, Gallipoli holds a huge chunk in our culture as it's our biggest military defeat as some bloke in London wanted to send us Aussies to "fight for the Empire" against a nation who never did anything to us. the ANZAC legend will never fade.

I think *The Christmas Truce* has a slight edge.. but it's telling that the list focuses on two tracks driving home the loss and futility of war.. Also, just my view :P
I had two Great-Grandfathers at Gallipoli, one was a Gunnery Officer on HMS Hibernia the other was Royal Berkshire regiment on the beaches. Both fortunately would survive the campaign however listening to this song makes you wonder what it was like there. Either way Great Work and definitely one of my favourite songs let alone sabaton songs!
I had two Great-Grandfathers there too, but in the other side. They never came back. They both died to give their children and grandchildren a good country.
@@girthquakr Reading the comments about theyre great grandfathers experiencing hell is already sad and the fact theyre son who they fought for also experienced hell in ww2
my Cousin fought at Gallipoli, he was then transfered to the somme, where he died along with my great Grandfather, may all those that fought rest in peace. We shall Remember them.
I am Australian and I can say gallipoli was the biggest waste of life in Australian history the men (Anzac and ottoman) were so brave and showed no fear in battle but when a rare truce came they were all friends, this only shows that no man in war is doing it because they want to but because they have to.
@@_bugra_7876this is true about everyone in the war the British we’re trying to weaken the Ottoman Empire so they could win the war so in turn every soldier in the war was fighting for his homeland
Should watch the Australian mini series Gallipoli, it's the Australian version of top quality war series, I personally think it's on par with Band of Brothers and The Pacific
The piano touch is perfect, it's so soft and lovely then the course just punches through with those solid lyrics of historical fact. Just Delivering a massive knockout!
I cannot cry. I will not cry. I will respect silently, as with Sabaton making a song for a country that I am apart of, I thank you for making this all those years ago.
I studied Gallipoli in history class, and since I'm listening to this song, I even recommended it to my teacher. She said later "It's a really great song, thank you for your recommendation"
That was cold comfort to the Mothers whose sons never came home, also to the wives, sweethearts, and children of those men. May God take special care of all the Fallen, they did what their Countries ask of them and died as a result.
@@DamplyDoo oversimplification there where a lot of people who where responsible for what had happened at Gellipoli. While Churchill was involved he wasn't in charge of the operation and was used as a scapegoat so that everyone else involved (including Churchils supierer officers) could escape the fallout.
Sabaton, congratulations. This song was so good it almost made me cry. Im an adult, but this was so touching, perfect. This song is so underrated. I hope you guys are doing well. Cheers
I'm Turkish and this song almost makes me cry even I don't like this genre. Respect Brother. Greetings from Turkey to my anzac brothers. We were enemies not by choice but now we are and will be brothers forever by choice. Love from Turkey. I'm leaving the words of Ataturks below. I hope that words give your hearts some warm with tears... Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
My great grandfather was sent to gallipoli, he luckily survived, to my turkish brothers, terrible loss either way, a battle that should never of happened 🤝
We (from Serbia) visited Gallipoli twice, last time in October. An amazing, haunting place. The Turks show incredible respect to all who died there - and so, so many did - in line what the great Mustafa Kemal said, and what you and the song quote. I cried like a baby at Anzac Cove, counted in awe the names on the markers, then the markers at the Canakkale Monument... I didn't know of this song until very recently. Thank you, Sabaton.
I AM A GROWN MAN I CAN LISTEN TO A SAD SONG WITHOUT CRYING "There is no enemy, there is no victory! Only boys who lost their lives in the sand!" **uncontrollable sobbing**
@@pinkfloppyass Always Brother And Another Thing, It was not your people decision to invade gallipoli, UK Imperialism Used You, Remember Ataturk Said ''“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives… You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours… you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well.”
And Australians don't forget the Turks fought with bravery and honour at all times. Nor do we forget those amazing words from Ataturk, he and the Turkish people honoured us with them..
They shall not grow old, as we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. Lest We Forget.
This song will forever have a special place in my heart, as it helped me go through the most stressful moment (due to the overbearing amount of work I had to do then) in my life, it allowed me to go on without losing my mind.
Today is ANZAC day. I was parading at the auckland war memorial museum and I saw someone with a sabaton shirt, I have listened to sabaton for a while but listening to this on my playlist after, it just really got to me. Thank you for your song it means a lot.
i’ve been listening to this song for 14 years now, i turned 16 this year. i was 2 when the album came out, i love my parents, that they showed me sabaton so i could grow up with your songs like this one, primo vicoria, price of a mile,…
As an Australian its my Hope to walk the Shores of Gallipoli one day. I hope Sabaton does one of their awsome Music Videos to Honor both the ANZAC's and the Turks who fought bleed and died there.
“There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged. Positions which must not be contested.” -Sun Tzu, ‘The Art of War’
I'm a Turkish. When I went to Gallipoli, I saw a monument named "Helles Corps". The division names of ANZACs, their names, battleships sunk... That was insane. I respect them. They didn't know they were going into a hell. o7
As a New Zealander, this song hits INCREDIBLY close to home. While my great grandfather did not fight in Gallipoli (instead in Egypt), I still understand the sacrifices of the ANZACs and am very proud that Sabaton would honor their sacrifices in a campaign which, from the onset, was designed not to succeed. Thank you Sabaton!
My mums uncles both fought in Egypt and came back broken men. They were well known 'homeless drunks' in Wellington city after that took turns in and out of Porirua Hospital. People forgot about that these men were merely boys...
My granddaughter finally knows the lyrics. I'm not sure why she loves this song. She cam play the keyboard part. She is Autistic and is very good with instruments. Sabaton, I hope you know the impact you have have had made on her. It's Also a bond we share. Thank you. I want to get her to a concert and hopefully meet yall. That would make her very happy
I know that this song is about the battles of Gallipoli however this song connects with me on a different level, for me it represents how im feeling about my current situation in live, I am currently being evicted from my home that ive lived at for 16 years and i have nowhere for me and my family to live and are most likely going to end up in a homeless shelter because the attorney for the estate is considering us squatters if we stay, my last appointment with my therapist, i had to have them listen to this song because it was the only way i could convey me mental state, but i have to say, Thank you, Sabaton, for all of the amazing songs and history stuff, a lot of it has saved me from killing myself to escape the stress
Another fantastic song gents, thanks for presenting this. My Grandfather was at Gallipoli from Sept 1915 and was one of three that reached the top of the cliffs to take out a flanking machine gun post but their victory was short lived as the Turks soon regained the post with backup infantry. My GF was injured and was evacuated. He recovered and was send to Flanders in France were he was a trench runner. He survived the war and passed away in 1977. I would love to hear a song on Milne Bay where my father fort in WW2.
My great grandfather was also in Gallipoli but in Turks' side. He died in the war. But the weirdest thing that hearing someone's grandfather also fight in this war, on opposite side. If we've felt same feelings, we wouldn't be enemy.
As a Türk my grandfather did not know this song but he had learnt galllipoli..Never come back..God bless him and all young soldiers that Never returned form there
Our grandmothers and grandfathers are always mentions Anzacs as a honorable enemy. We learned a lot heroic stories both sides from them. We have a proverb "Instead of a treacherous friend, have a honorable enemy". Respect to all Anzac soldiers who fight and died at Gallipoli.
Oh my god, as an Aussie guy who's great grandad (who I had the pleasure of meeting) survived this battle (he was one of the many *boys* that served, literally enlisting when he was 14, I literally almost fuckin' cried when I heard this, since my great grandad was also a great and brave man, and he told me stories of his campaigns in the first and second world wars before he died at the age of 102 in 2003 when I was 8. This song reminded me of him, thank you for it. I miss him, and he was a hero to me, my brothers, my dad, and everyone in our extended family; and is the reason my older brother enlisted in the SASR. Edit: I would also like to comment on the amazing lyrics and singing. The production of this was great.
I had to come back and say my granddaughter asked to hear this yesterday. Anytime we are in the car, it's sabaton pls. Turn it up but it surprised me when she asked to hear this. Sabaton. I hope you know the impact you have all over the world. Greetings from Greenville South carolina USA
@Sabaton I hope you know the bond between me and my granddaughter with your music. I hope to get her to a concert. She's Autistic so I'll have to have headphones on her but the one thing she does know is history. Thank you for that
For the Aussies and us Kiwis, this event, this fight, is something that is a cornerstone of our culture and history. It isn't the battle where we lost the most of our men, nor is it one that gave us glory, but what it gave us a sense of who we are as a country, as its citizens. It set us apart from the empire that ruled us , giving us pride in our men, for their sacrifice, and their bravery, which unlike many other nations, we never forgot.
At the 109. anniversary of the sea wars, R.I.P to all the soliders who died in the battle (Oh mothers wipe your tears, your sons will rest a million years)...
"Im a grown man, I can listen any sad song without dropping a tear!" "There is no enemy, there is no victory, only boys who lost their lives" *Starts crying slowly*
I was thinking about making an elaborate joke about all the British, French, and Canadians that died there, (something about how they don’t get respect for some stupid reason) but ended up not due to the sincerity of the comment.
@@Kyle-gw6qp Probably because of the friendship. Australian and Turkish soldiers met and became friends at this battle. During breaks in battle, they would play together and give each other gifts such as cigarettes and cans. When I see a Australian I wanna hug to him and my eyes fill up. It's unbelievable. Anyways respects from Gallipoli for all heroes who fought at Gallipoli
My great-grandfather lost his life in this battle, and we still don't know what his story was. He might have been killed by an artillery shell or in face-to-face combat. It's heartbreaking to think about this, especially when we consider the trivial things that bother us in our daily lives. As the saying goes, "there is no enemy, there is no victory," and I believe it perfectly sums up the situation.
_"You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."_ ~M. Kemal ATATÜRK
I, as a turkish person am very happy to see even the non-turkish people are getting sad at this song thank you all for this respect towards my country.
As an Australian I appreciate recognition of the conflict with the Turkish it was a war that never needed to happen at all. Rest in peace the brave souls sacrificed both our Turkish comrades and our Australian men and boys.
Best sabaton song of all of them, hands down. No song does a better job of making you feel the way the song wants you to feel. the lyrics are incredibly powerful, and the piano in the background ties it all together
Proud Australian. All these brave men spilled their blood for a new nation, independant Australia. Their blood was the very essence of what built the foundation of Aussie culture. Mateship, love, brotherhood, loyalty, kindness and strong mindedness. Lest we forget
I found Sabaton in 2014 and to this day this song and "Price of a Mile" consistently makes me shed tears. Thank you soo so so much Sabaton! You are an ever burning candle for those who've lost their lives in senseless slaughter
In Battlefield 1 the War Story on Gallipoli had the perfect tone to go with this song, you push through the Ottoman lines to just be thrown right back, with nothing achieved. Through Mud and Blood may be the best, but The Runner will always break my heart

@@tuncsonmez8231 then their children would fight in another World War. Saddening
@@girthquakr Reading the comments about theyre great grandfathers experiencing hell is already sad and the fact theyre son who they fought for also experienced hell in ww2
my Cousin fought at Gallipoli, he was then transfered to the somme, where he died along with my great Grandfather, may all those that fought rest in peace.

I dunno why people generally don't like this song. It's so fucking good
It is
I suppose the album consists of more heavy songs, music wise, and this one is more on the somber soft side. It is a BOP tho.
People don't like this song? It's at least one of my top 5.
I love this song it's beautifully made, but it's just I don't listen to it often cause I don't like being super depressed
It’s third right behind Ghost Division in second, following close behind my number one, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
I am Australian and I can say gallipoli was the biggest waste of life in Australian history the men (Anzac and ottoman) were so brave and showed no fear in battle but when a rare truce came they were all friends, this only shows that no man in war is doing it because they want to but because they have to.
A soldier doesn't fight because he hates what's in front of him but to protect those who are behind him and loves
This word is only right if you think about the turkish (defender) side.
@@_bugra_7876this is true about everyone in the war the British we’re trying to weaken the Ottoman Empire so they could win the war so in turn every soldier in the war was fighting for his homeland
That is so Poetic
Then he would be best fighting the ones above him that put nations against each other for Money.
Go puke your cliche somewhere else.
We need a Gallipoli movie with a Sabaton OST
This one’s onto something
An idea
Awesome idea 🙂
Should watch the Australian mini series Gallipoli, it's the Australian version of top quality war series, I personally think it's on par with Band of Brothers and The Pacific
Every historical film should have a Sabaton OST. All of them. Even the non-war ones.
'mothers wipe your tears yous sons will rest million years..'' amazing work as a turkish boy i am really appriciate this song thank you sabaton..

“Oh mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years’ that line always gives me the chills.
Its an excpert from Ataturks letters to anzack civilans
"Oh mothers wipe your tears
your sons will rest a million years"
This made me shed a tear.

The piano touch is perfect, it's so soft and lovely then the course just punches through with those solid lyrics of historical fact. Just Delivering a massive knockout!
I cannot cry.
I will not cry.
I will respect silently, as with Sabaton making a song for a country that I am apart of, I thank you for making this all those years ago.
You gotta admit, this was the one we were all waiting for.
I studied Gallipoli in history class, and since I'm listening to this song, I even recommended it to my teacher. She said later "It's a really great song, thank you for your recommendation"
This is great to read! You have a cool teacher 🤟
As a Turk, this song hits fucking hard bro. Especially the part with Ataturk's quote.

That was cold comfort to the Mothers whose sons never came home, also to the wives, sweethearts, and children of those men. May God take special care of all the Fallen, they did what their Countries ask of them and died as a result.
@@littledikkins2 isn't Churchill to blame for a lot of this, or is that oversimplification
@@DamplyDoo oversimplification there where a lot of people who where responsible for what had happened at Gellipoli. While Churchill was involved he wasn't in charge of the operation and was used as a scapegoat so that everyone else involved (including Churchils supierer officers) could escape the fallout.
Sabaton, congratulations. This song was so good it almost made me cry. Im an adult, but this was so touching, perfect. This song is so underrated. I hope you guys are doing well. Cheers
Thanks for appreciating it!
@@SabatonI never tought that you guys will respond, such a great band. Love you guys! Cheers!
I’m Australian this almost made me cry lest we forget
it always make me cry :(
Lest We Forget.
Sadly, many seem to have.
I'm Turkish and this song almost makes me cry even I don't like this genre. Respect Brother.
Greetings from Turkey to my anzac brothers. We were enemies not by choice but now we are and will be brothers forever by choice. Love from Turkey.
I'm leaving the words of Ataturks below. I hope that words give your hearts some warm with tears...
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Thanks mate. A gracious thank you from New Zealand.
My great grandfather was sent to gallipoli, he luckily survived, to my turkish brothers, terrible loss either way, a battle that should never of happened 🤝
As a Kiwi, I would like to say thank you,
and we also think quite highly of Turks over here!
We (from Serbia) visited Gallipoli twice, last time in October. An amazing, haunting place. The Turks show incredible respect to all who died there - and so, so many did - in line what the great Mustafa Kemal said, and what you and the song quote. I cried like a baby at Anzac Cove, counted in awe the names on the markers, then the markers at the Canakkale Monument... I didn't know of this song until very recently. Thank you, Sabaton.

Equal respect to our Turkish mates from Australia !
Respect for the NZ parts of the ANZACs as well.

And Australians don't forget the Turks fought with bravery and honour at all times. Nor do we forget those amazing words from Ataturk, he and the Turkish people honoured us with them..
This is actually so beautiful.
Also us Australians will never forget our fallen Turkish brothers 💜
This song always makes me cry because of how sad it is, I love it so much!
They shall not grow old, as we that are left, grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget.
as an Australian this really makes me happy that someone can preserve the history of a historic event for me and all other Australians
Turks too lol
Australians 🤢
We will remember them.
This song will forever have a special place in my heart, as it helped me go through the most stressful moment (due to the overbearing amount of work I had to do then) in my life, it allowed me to go on without losing my mind.
Today is ANZAC day. I was parading at the auckland war memorial museum and I saw someone with a sabaton shirt, I have listened to sabaton for a while but listening to this on my playlist after, it just really got to me. Thank you for your song it means a lot.
i’ve been listening to this song for 14 years now, i turned 16 this year. i was 2 when the album came out, i love my parents, that they showed me sabaton so i could grow up with your songs like this one, primo vicoria, price of a mile,…
Damn you lucked out
@@Mr_Sarcasum yeas have to say thank you to my parents
As an Australian its my Hope to walk the Shores of Gallipoli one day.
I hope Sabaton does one of their awsome Music Videos to Honor both the ANZAC's and the Turks who fought bleed and died there.
They already did it was one of their earliest
As a Turk i would be more than happy to accompany you and show you around in the shores of Gallipoli if you evet got the chance to visit.
Same man I really want to walk
Love to Australia from Turkey! ♥♥♥
I am British and I lost my great great grandfather there and I lived in Turkey for 3 years but never went properly

I'm a Turkish. When I went to Gallipoli, I saw a monument named "Helles Corps". The division names of ANZACs, their names, battleships sunk... That was insane. I respect them. They didn't know they were going into a hell. o7
As a New Zealander, this song hits INCREDIBLY close to home. While my great grandfather did not fight in Gallipoli (instead in Egypt), I still understand the sacrifices of the ANZACs and am very proud that Sabaton would honor their sacrifices in a campaign which, from the onset, was designed not to succeed. Thank you Sabaton!
My mums uncles both fought in Egypt and came back broken men. They were well known 'homeless drunks' in Wellington city after that took turns in and out of Porirua Hospital. People forgot about that these men were merely boys...
The best thing in life is a sabaton upload
My granddaughter finally knows the lyrics. I'm not sure why she loves this song. She cam play the keyboard part. She is Autistic and is very good with instruments. Sabaton, I hope you know the impact you have have had made on her. It's Also a bond we share. Thank you. I want to get her to a concert and hopefully meet yall. That would make her very happy
"Where the soldiers rushed to a certain death" nailed it right on the head with that one....May them Brave Souls Rest In Peace
I know that this song is about the battles of Gallipoli however this song connects with me on a different level, for me it represents how im feeling about my current situation in live, I am currently being evicted from my home that ive lived at for 16 years and i have nowhere for me and my family to live and are most likely going to end up in a homeless shelter because the attorney for the estate is considering us squatters if we stay, my last appointment with my therapist, i had to have them listen to this song because it was the only way i could convey me mental state, but i have to say, Thank you, Sabaton, for all of the amazing songs and history stuff, a lot of it has saved me from killing myself to escape the stress
Best song ever the paino is a amazing touch
Senin torun olmak her zaman bir şeref iyi uyu büyük büyük dede.

Another fantastic song gents, thanks for presenting this. My Grandfather was at Gallipoli from Sept 1915 and was one of three that reached the top of the cliffs to take out a flanking machine gun post but their victory was short lived as the Turks soon regained the post with backup infantry. My GF was injured and was evacuated. He recovered and was send to Flanders in France were he was a trench runner. He survived the war and passed away in 1977. I would love to hear a song on Milne Bay where my father fort in WW2.
What a guy...
My great grandfather was also in Gallipoli but in Turks' side. He died in the war. But the weirdest thing that hearing someone's grandfather also fight in this war, on opposite side. If we've felt same feelings, we wouldn't be enemy.
@@plutosdstn We are mates and I'm sure our GF's would like this.
As a Türk my grandfather did not know this song but he had learnt galllipoli..Never come back..God bless him and all young soldiers that Never returned form there
This is my favourite song to listen to. Sabaton rocks!
It's great to read that!
My first Sabaton song, and one of my favorites. I wish I could've heard it live last time I saw them play. ✊🤘

Our grandmothers and grandfathers are always mentions Anzacs as a honorable enemy. We learned a lot heroic stories both sides from them. We have a proverb "Instead of a treacherous friend, have a honorable enemy". Respect to all Anzac soldiers who fight and died at Gallipoli.
Oh my god, as an Aussie guy who's great grandad (who I had the pleasure of meeting) survived this battle (he was one of the many *boys* that served, literally enlisting when he was 14, I literally almost fuckin' cried when I heard this, since my great grandad was also a great and brave man, and he told me stories of his campaigns in the first and second world wars before he died at the age of 102 in 2003 when I was 8. This song reminded me of him, thank you for it. I miss him, and he was a hero to me, my brothers, my dad, and everyone in our extended family; and is the reason my older brother enlisted in the SASR.
Edit: I would also like to comment on the amazing lyrics and singing. The production of this was great.
Your grandfather sleeps peacefully in our land

@Sabaton I hope you know the bond between me and my granddaughter with your music. I hope to get her to a concert. She's Autistic so I'll have to have headphones on her but the one thing she does know is history. Thank you for that
For the Aussies and us Kiwis, this event, this fight, is something that is a cornerstone of our culture and history. It isn't the battle where we lost the most of our men, nor is it one that gave us glory, but what it gave us a sense of who we are as a country, as its citizens. It set us apart from the empire that ruled us , giving us pride in our men, for their sacrifice, and their bravery, which unlike many other nations, we never forgot.
This song always makes me cry
I'm really enjoying these new lyrics video's from older Sabaton songs
At the 109. anniversary of the sea wars, R.I.P to all the soliders who died in the battle (Oh mothers wipe your tears, your sons will rest a million years)...

i respect both australian and turkish soldiers who died at there...
I was thinking about making an elaborate joke about all the British, French, and Canadians that died there, (something about how they don’t get respect for some stupid reason) but ended up not due to the sincerity of the comment.
More British soldiers died at Gallipoli than Australian soldiers. Why does no one bring this up?!
@@Kyle-gw6qp Probably because of the friendship. Australian and Turkish soldiers met and became friends at this battle. During breaks in battle, they would play together and give each other gifts such as cigarettes and cans. When I see a Australian I wanna hug to him and my eyes fill up. It's unbelievable.

My great-grandfather lost his life in this battle, and we still don't know what his story was. He might have been killed by an artillery shell or in face-to-face combat. It's heartbreaking to think about this, especially when we consider the trivial things that bother us in our daily lives. As the saying goes, "there is no enemy, there is no victory," and I believe it perfectly sums up the situation.

The song is mainly about the invading allies but since Sabaton blatantly used Atatürks words, this makes the song about the Turks as well.

First sabaton write songs about history, and now they are included in it.
Best sabaton song of all of them, hands down. No song does a better job of making you feel the way the song wants you to feel. the lyrics are incredibly powerful, and the piano in the background ties it all together

This song is super underrated...but also very very sad
In Battlefield 1 the War Story on Gallipoli had the perfect tone to go with this song, you push through the Ottoman lines to just be thrown right back, with nothing achieved. Through Mud and Blood may be the best, but The Runner will always break my heart
