    ======= The Lost Battalion LYRICS =======
    Far from their land, as they made their stand
    They stood strong and the legend still lives on
    1918 the great war rages on, a battalion is lost in the Argonne
    Under fire, there’s nothing they can do, there’s no way they can get a message through
    Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on, liberty division standing strong
    Far from their land, as they made their stand
    A disregarded demand
    It’s surrender or die, and the stakes are high
    They live or they die, there’s no time for good bye
    Weapon in hand, as they made their stand
    Still disregarding demand
    They would never comply they would rather die
    Broke through the blockade they were finally saved
    Friendly fire, munitions running low, the supplies they were dropped upon their foe
    1918 the war still rages on, the battalion (is) still trapped in the Argonne
    Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat, fallen brothers resting by their feet
    Far from their land, as they made their stand
    A disregarded demand
    It’s surrender or die, and the stakes are high
    Live or die, who can tell? there´s no good bye
    With a weapon in hand, as they made their stand
    Still disregarding demand
    They would never comply they would rather die
    They stood strong and the legend still lives on
    Suffered heavy losses through the great war they stood strong, but the memory of the fallen still lives on
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Though they were completely surrounded by the Germans and were subjected to friendly fire, 554 all-American soldiers, who were part of the 77th Division, continued fighting for a week during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918. They are known as The Lost Battalion.

      "Far from their land as they made their stand
      They stood strong and the legend still lives on
      1918 the great war rages on
      A battalion is lost in Argonne
      Under fire there's nothing they can do
      There's no way, they can get a message through
      Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on
      Liberty division standing strong
      Far from their land as they made their stand
      A disregarded demand
      It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
      They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye
      Weapon in hand, they made their stand
      Still disregarding demand
      They would never comply, they would rather die
      Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
      Friendly fire munitions running low
      The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe
      1918 the war still rages on
      The battalion still trapped in the Argonne
      Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat
      Fallen brothers resting by their feet
      Far from their land as they made their stand
      A disregarded demand
      It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
      They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye
      Weapon in hand, they made their stand
      Still disregarding demand
      They would never comply, they would rather die
      Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
      Far from their land as they made their stand
      A disregarded demand
      It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
      Live or die, who cal tell there's no goodbye
      With weapon in hand, they made their stand
      Still disregarding demand
      They would never comply, they would rather die
      They stood strong and the legend still lives on
      Suffered heavy losses through the great war they stood strong
      But the memory of the fallen still lives on
      Far from their land as they made their stand
      A disregarded demand
      It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
      They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye
      Weapon in hand, they made their stand
      Still disregarding demand
      They would never comply, they would rather die
      Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved!!!"

Charles White Whittlesey received the Medal of Honor for valor and it is presumed he committed suicide in 1921 due to survivor's guilt.

      Funny enough, that was in reference to the order given by the German command, for the Americans to surrender. Major Whittlesey, assuming that his order from American command to never surrender was still in play, pocketed it and kept fighting.

    My Great-Grandfather served during the First World War in the Argonne (though he wasn't a part of the Lost Battalion). He told my grandmother a really interesting story. He was by himself, lost in the Forest and a German soldier crashed into him. The soldier looked up at my great-grandfather and he (my GG) said it was like looking into a mirror. The man started speaking to him in German, trying to convey something. He then embraced my GG or shook his hand or something along those lines. They then ran off in opposite directions.
    The really interesting thing is, my GG was just the second generation of his family born in the U.S, and his grandfather was born in Germany. He was always convinced that he had experienced a chance encounter with a long-lost relative. I always thought it was sad that they had to meet under the circumstances they did.

    Hi Sabaton. I imagiene you won't see this comment, but I had to express my deep love for this album. As a history teacher I often teach students who believe history to be boring and unimportant. New ways of presenting history challenges that belief, and your new album is a definite example of that! I do believe I will present in to my students later, as an intro to their subjects :D So thanks for helping to make history "cool" again!

My other great grandfather survived a grenade blast and helped liberate Paris. I think he stormed Normandy too, which would mean he fought for France from the beginning to the end of the campaign. What a brave man.

It also inspired me to research further into my great grandfather's history, as he too was a soldier in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, in Company C of the 305th Infantry Regiment to be more specific. He didn't suffer through the trials The Lost Battalion faced, but he still came away with terrible memories and a deep hate of the smell of cheese. Thank you for the song and the honor it provides to the men of the 308th, 307th and 306th.

    There's no way, they can get a message through
    Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on
    Liberty division standing strong
    Far from their land as they made their stand
    A disregarded demand
    It's surrender or die and the stakes are high
    They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye
    Weapon in hand, they made their stand
    Still disregarding demand
    They would never comply, they would rather die
    Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
    Friendly fire munitions running low
    The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe
    1918 the war still rages on
    The battalion still trapped in the Argonne
    Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat
    Fallen brothers resting by their feet
    Far from their land as they made their stand

    Liberty Division isn't just part of the lyrics. Liberty was actually the nickname of the 77th Division.

    found you guys from an AH comment. they were telling Jeremy that he looks like the lead singer and I had to find out if it was true, and it is. your music freaking rocks. so I stayed and subscribed.
