      The 30 years war 1618-1648 from a young swedish boys perspective sent out to a war to a foreign country.
      The 30 years war are considered by many Europeans as the First world war because so many countries were involved.
      During that time many was born into the war, and at the age of 14 they were sent out.
      Sabaton from Sweden are masters in storytelling and all their songs are about historical events from all around the world, without taking sides.

And many men dragged a wife and possibly kids around as well. Some of those children surely did enlist straight out of the follower camp, never knowing anything but war in a foreign country.

      Here most if not all are swedish, but when they sing this at their own festival or in other countries and the crowd wants it in swedish, the crowd sings along. I have been to their festival 5 times and heard En Livstid i Krig 3 or 4 times, can't remember, but every time people from all over the world sang along in swedish.
      Also being in that crowd is also insane, you feel pride singing with 14,000 people honoring warriors and mourn the loss of them!
      Sabaton is so special, they bridge cultures because in some songs they sing very neutral, and even when they don't they are just celebrating heroic deeds, heroic people, regular people. No matter what side the soldiers were on.

    A little background to the song: Lifetime in war: The song is about how Swedish soldiers participated in the 30-year war that was between the years 1618 - 1648. At that time, when men were killed, they were never praised, only the commanders who fell. But the Song is just as relevant in the present for those who have been out in battle and are out in battle.
    ABOUT Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot.
    Sabaton is more different from other bands besides the music.
    Sabaton is also a company with 100 employees and they manage everything themselves and no outsiders are involved that costs them money, this means that the band themselves book the places and arenas they will perform at, book hotels, sell the tickets themselves, they manage all sales of souvenirs , shirts and records. They have 6 trucks that transport all the stage equipment to make it look like a trench and the tank top that the drummer sits on and then all the instruments. As well as a number of buses to transport the band but also the stage staff. This means that ticket prices are kept down, because when the band toured around Sweden, a ticket to the concert cost about 57 dollars and those who wanted to meet the band before the gig paid 67 dollars. There is no alcohol sales at the gigs, but the audience is sober just like the band, who do not drink alcohol when they have gigs, but they drink tea and a little gymnastics to soften the body.
    Few songs to listen to and all songs are based on real historical events during war:
    SABATON - Lady of the Dark (Animated Story Video)ua-cam.com/video/3AsRfcrZeUE/v-deo.html
    SABATON - The Royal Guard (Official Music Video) ua-cam.com/video/kZN5bw3wg9g/v-deo.html
    Which is about the world's oldest still existing unit and was formed in 1521 by the Swedish king which then consisted of 16 of the king's closest men, in 2021 the Royal Guard celebrated 500 years and today they consist of 2000 men and women.

    This song is on the Carolus Rex album from 2012.
    The album was released in two editions with the same name, one with English lyrics and one with Swedish lyrics and also as a double album with both editions.
    The songs on the album is about Charles XII whom was the king of Sweden from April 5th 1697 - November 30th 1718 and the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire.
    Charles XII's Latin name was Carolus Rex hence the name of the album Carolus Rex.

      The song is about the Thirty Years' War, which had Sweden as a participant. Other nations involved were the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, France, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Dutch Republic. Some of the HRE's provinces, such as Hesse-Kassel and Saxony took the opposing side in the war. Here are the lyrics in English:
      Two ways to rule 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 heard before
      Two ways to rule the world brought Europe down in flames
      Two ways to rule.....
      Chorus
      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
      Caused 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
      (line in Swedish)
      Lifetime at war.
      Chorus
      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.

Just before this clip started Joakim said no one carries around a lighter anymore but you all have phones, right? So turn on your lights for this one. then, in the beginning, he said totally wonderful, my friends, let's now sing together en livstid i krig.

    It's a very moving song - and it was insightful to watch as you were transformed from simply watching, to when you turned on the captions and realized what was being said.
    Sabaton does true history and war - showing valor, mercy, heroism and that Soldiers from all over the world can be noble and self-sacrificing.
    May I request you watch Sabaton's "No Bullets Fly" (the animated story version - it's about 8:48 long) - it tells the true story of a German pilot in WWII who saw a damaged American aircraft, full of wounded men, and ESCORTED THEM out of Germany to safety? Please consider it?

      And if that engages you - allow me to give a quick list of other stories that might interest you by Sabaton:
      1) "Night Witches" (again, the story version is best) - the true story of Russian FEMALE pilots who were only 17 to 25 years old who were given the worst equipment during WWII, but became an absolute terror to the German Army.
      2) "Christmas Truce" - true story of how in WWI, in 1914, the Soldiers on both sides decided to "take a day off from war" and celebrate Christmas with each other - even playing soccer together in "No Man's Land"
      3) "Final Solution" - it's about the Holocaust. It's hard to watch, but they took the horror of it and made a story that told how a nation went insane and a people were sent to camps and ... well, we know what happened.
      4) "Uprising" about how Poles in WWII, purely civilians, with little in the way of weapons or training decided they had had enough and fought against the German occupation
      5) "Lady of the Dark" about the most decorated woman in military history - a Serbian who ran across no man's land and LEAD her people to victory after victory.

As a former Soldier i sometimes miss the fields, even tho it might be scarier and i might potentially die....it feels easier then having a normal job and going day by day in the current time we live in.

    A lifetime of war
    I look around and I see my home fade away
    My time at home now feels far too short
    Just a youth, barely a man when duty called me
    If i get to see my home again, that I do not know
    Amongst friends from my village, I went out to figtht
    And the world burned
    For war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who will mourn me?
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son who never comes home
    But who will miss me?
    Went to fight for Sweden, was baptized in blood
    Out there where death awaits, not heroism
    In fields where kinsmen fall no song is heard
    Challenging our destiny one more time
    Far from home
    Baptized and die in battle
    And the world burned
    For war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who will mourn me?
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son who never comes home
    But who will miss me?
    And when my time runs out
    Who cares then?
    They fight on
    Does a soldier get a worthy end?
    To fall asleep
    Pass away
    And never wake up
    For war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who will mourn me?
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son who never comes home
    But who will miss me?

    Bonus info: This song is from the Album "Carolus Rex". Its an album that tells the story of Sweden's part in the 30 year war, its the only Album of theirs available in Swedish (and English). From the first song to the last you follow the history. Its an amazing album and my favorite of theirs (I'm biased, I'm Swedish). The English version isn't a straight translation though. They basically wrote two versions of the songs. Some are more the same, others the same but from a different angle (lyrically).

    This song is about the Thirty Years War that indeed lasted three decades, and Sweden, Sabaton's country of origin and the country where this concert took place, was a prominent player in it.
    But Sweden was a relatively small country when it came to population so younger and younger men were drafted as the war dragged on. Many women lost first they husband and then their sons to the same war.
    And the audience, being Swedish, know that had they born in different time it could have been them, so there's this connection and somberness to the whole affair.
    (Technically it could also have been me considering Finland was part of Sweden at the time, but that's another story.)

      And as for all songs on this album, there was a version in English, too, but the lyrics are not the same. The English versions tell the stories on higher level, on level of countries, armies and kings. Meanwhile the Swedish lyrics often tell the stories of the men fighting and dying on the battlefields.

    I had seen Sabaton twice when this video was released - when Covid scuttled the rest of The Great Tour, they release one video each saturday, shot during the tour from onstage.
    It was THIS video that made me decide to go see them in Sweden; just for the chance to be _in the crowd_, singing along with everyone else. I'm not Swedish, but have started learning the language to better understand their songs (they have one album that was done in both English and Swedish).
    I have now seen Sabaton 5 times in Sweden (between April 2022 and Feb 2023), flying from Vancouver Canada. This band has changed my life.

    En livstig i krig. One of the greatest stories from history in 5 mins song. I got opportunity to meet Sabaton in 2012 at polish Woodstock Festival (now Poland Rock festival) when on live show was 750k peoples or more (noone count that but after Scorpions in 2000 when we got over 1,5 mln peoples) we got oportunity first meet Sabaton on Scene and after live show i meet them at backstage (im musician too) This guys was super natural on scene and in public relations. I think i talk with all of them 10-15 mins after show and they all said that was the bigger ever live show that they done (and still was at this moment). Anyway, En livstig i krig got special place in my hearth maybe it unite men. But on the world was many many things (except sex music alcohol and all this normal things) that unite men faster than music it was respect, loyality and kidness - three much important things but you right the music of Sabaton unite mens, but not only mens on this show i meet my wife (we married in 2015 after Sabaton show at Wacken) my life was full os Sabaton. Remember peoples SABATON-UNITE ALL THE MEN??

    The lyrics are very emotional in this version. It describes the 30 years war in Europe (1618-1648) from a young Swedish boys perspective, sent out to a war far from home in a small village to a country he dont even know where it is. One can say that this conflict actually was the first world war, because so many nations was involved.

    The caroleans, named after Carolus the swedish king (Charles the 11:th and Charles the 12:th). 350000 men from Sweden, Finland and the Baltics died while fighting the russians, 230000 of those died during 1700-1709. Still today there are descendents from these men living in Ukraine and some of them can still speak swedish.

    In a similar vein, give Soldier of Heaven from Sabaton a listen (the official music video).
    It's a dedication to an event during WW1 called White Friday, where the fighting in the Alps caused avalanches that buried soldiers and civilians alike. Many bodies weren't able to be recovered until now as climate change is causing the ice and snow to melt and expose the bodies that were trapped.

    I like the reaction u did. The song is about sweden during the 30 year war at late 15 hundreds but thing is with the army a whole camp of people followed. There was hospital and family members and even prostitutes, so in some cases u had children growing up during this time in camp to at some point join the army and likely die in battle, hense "a lifetime of war". Sweden was at war for more than 200 years on and off taking a huge toll on men, Sweden never had a big population and this is one reason.
