The official lyric video for the english version of the song "A Lifetime Of War" coming of SABATONs new album "Carolus Rex" - out May 25, 2012
Nuclear Blast Europe: www.nuclearblast.de/band/sabaton
Some people: Sabaton is glorifying war!!
Sabaton: Has man gone insane?
Hell his voice sounds sad in the beginning of the song just listening to the lyrics of so many of their songs yes they praise the hero's but songs like this make a point War Is Hell
Doctor Phil: Are you delusional?
They literally did a Q&A and this question was brought up jokim’s answer:
“Why glorify war it’s kinda stupid”
Sabaton is gloryfying WAR?.....stupid...hear the lyrics..and listen
@@eduardosousa6097 I dont want to harrass you but this profile pic reminds me of some conspiracy idiot I use to argue with a lot XD
Good Joke
Peace is a desire, war is a fact; and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals.

Greed is the origin of all sin
- Me
Oh wow, that's and epic quote!!
damn.
The hirony: because history is the human kind's making.
@@Klikoderat no pride is the origin of all sin
How can they be still people who think Sabaton would be war glorifying?
They probably get them confused with Man'oWar.
Michael Edmunds Manowar is fucking amazing! Sabaton even honoured them in their song "Man of War"
People don't pick on Manowar because no one takes them seriously.
CidGuerreiro1234 I'm not, I like Manowar. What I was saying was between the two of them Manowar is closer to glorifying war. Sabaton sings more about the regret of war, and valor in specific battles, where as Manowar is more generalized and pro-battle.
Michael Edmunds Oh, I love Manowar! But middle-aged men in black leather jumpsuits are just too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
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
Best lines ever.
Read this while listening to them sing it, and I agree.
I have learned to look at others and myself as dirt... Full Metal Jacket and history has taught me this, no one is above anyone
After each game king and a pawn goes to the same box
"When all of Europe's burning, what can be done?" and "Has man gone insane?" in my opinion
You're almost right but the best line is actually "religion and greed cause millions to bleed"
...and that's why we love Sabaton! They not only bring the epicness, but they're also historically relevant-something everyone can appreciate in one way or another! :)
Amen brother 👊 👍
yes
not only is this song about the 30 years war a lot of meaning in the lyrics can be applied to today. Sabaton is the best.
Sadly not everyone appreciates history. Too many are content to pretend it never happened. This is why Sabaton is so amazing. They do their best to make history interesting to those who would otherwise not have a chance to learn about it.

2. Cliffs Of Gallipolli
1. The Final Soloution
You are forgetting "The Hammer Has Fallen" it is one of the saddest they have, being about a soldier in his dying moments. To make matters worse they qoute their other sad songs. It nearly brought me to tears.

Sabaton pays respect to lonesome and nearly forgotten heroes in times of mankind's fail (again... and again...).
👊👍
In my opinion, this is best Sabaton's song.
I agree man :)
KajL my opinion is not only best song but best album
I'd say ALL OF THEM ARE SPECTACULAR!!

@@blitz5461 best album IMO is the last stand i like every single song in there
First thing that got to my mind today.
Same
This song is just... beautiful.
Idd... Almost as beautiful as Nightwish songs...
@@jd3k385 naaaah more beautiful
And somber at the same time
The Swedish version is even more hard hitting than this one
Sabaton during The Last Stand shows tremendous respect to the Swiss Guard and the faith they died for.
Sabaton during A Lifetime of War calls out the horror of religion and how men use it to justify their greed and unspeakable horror.
Not many people can be so fair and respect history like you guys do. You write and perform your songs in ways that can make you connect to both the history while also respecting the people who lived it. You are truly amazing, while I'm still new to you guys, the more of your work I discover the more amazed I become.
did the Christian religion ever say it was okay to cause wars and kill millions of people through war, I ask you was this war because of religion or greed? if you read even the slightest of was Jesus spoke on war and violence I believe your opinion on that question may be changed. I believe that sabaton was highlighting human greed and lust for power and not "the horrors of religion".
@@exkira_val I am a christian and go to Church every week and read Bible ever day. Its not about a christianity and religion but the people who thought they did it for christianity and religion but they did it for politics reasons. Same goes for from 3rd to 8th(or 9th) crusade 100 years war etc,... People are so blinded by their selfish desires that they bend the laws of God for they maniacal appetites.
I agree
Religion itself cannot cause a war, how people change the teachings can.
@@vindhallare783 humans cause war, religion is just one of the many tools we have used through-out history to justify them.
It is often forgotten just how devastating the Thirty Years' War was to Europe as a whole. This song embodies that saddening nightmare perfectly.
Has man gone insane? I think that's a fair thing to ask right about now.
new religion and old greed....are still causing millions to bleed.
Yep.
Always has been.
Ask hamas
War don't start with the country..... It starts with the people of who's country.....It's starts with the ideology and differences of what country.....Without understanding, without peaceful communication, war will always broke by greed and discrimination....
And, here, we are still fighting. Where this is men, there is war, eh? Man has gone insane.
Putin has

@@johnscaramis2515 as an American, sometimes I can't help but feel we're one insurrection away-real or falsified-from yet another Civil War.

This song can also be about Afghanistan. History changes so much and yet so little.
Eh, not really.
Afghanistan lasted for 2 decades, not 3
Casus Belli:Your music is too epic.
The more I listen to this song, the more it hits home even today. As a combat vet, I can't help but sometimes feel like I was a pawn in a war between the elites.
I love my country and the citizens that I served. The problem is, I hate most of the politicians who run it. This applies to just about every country. We, the people of the world, need to realize that.
Thank you for your service
Politicians are worse than any disease we have encountered. they should be kept in line by the people they are supposed to serve, yet they infect anything and everyone with their lies and greed.
I agree with you, those in power should serve the people, not the people serve them. We are the reason they have that power and together the people can do anything.
And thank you for your service
I’m a vet as well. The English version is ok but turn subtitles on the Swedish version and try fight back the tears.
I'm gonna guess they play as Sweeds in EU4.

Now I am back here after recent events in the middle east.
here's to all the people saying that sabaton glorifies war and nationalism... this is one of the saddest songs about war i have ever heard
@ when political scum uses it - totally bad
Sauromatae I'd rather have nationalist politician than scum that sells my country to others
Yeah Nationalism is better than Globalism
They are patriotic and shows love for their country but they are not glorifying war. The lyrics in the swedish version is much more personal and about an unknown soldier who goes out to war. The lyrics say a lot about husbands and sons who never returns home and is sent out to death and not heroism so it's very much about the suffering of men who go out to war and most likely sent to their deaths.
cuz nationalism is something bad, yeaa f*ck off
"Religion and greed cause millions to bleed"
That's it. Chant it.
Those things cause no harm without politicians, but politicians without those things are no less deadly.
@@ixelhaine That is a fundamental misunderstanding of history. It's easy to misinterpret that Marx quote about religion being the opiate of the masses as trying to say that religion is a tool of the state to keep the masses oppressed, but far from it, religion is its own, independently malevolent force.
@@plasmakitten4261 religion itself is not malevolent, but how it is used
one finds comfort in belief that there's an afterlife, while another finds justification for violence
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 When there's a thousand years of empirical evidence that one usage is more common than the other, maybe that indicates that there's something causal at play.
@@plasmakitten4261 which would be the people in religious organizations that have power
I don't want to excuse the actions of anyone, religious or not, but some people just do horrible things for various reasons, and some of those people happened to see religion as a means to those ends
Every Sabaton songs carries a strong emotion, but this one completely tore me apart.
This is a masterpiece. Most bands are happy to make 1 or 2 songs this epic, but sabaton has so many...
with more than 40 active conflicts around the globe right now, man has indeed gone insane.
Why am i suddenly reminded of how long overdue we are for another cataclysmic war?
@Legitpenguins69 Thank you for jinxing us all, appreciate that.
Well we got a very destructive virus instead so yea

We (the us) just deployed to Taiwan... I see a large conflict in the pacific happening
This hits different now specially when he sings religion and greed
I was hearing this back when I was losing a match in Total War. It started playing and all of the sudden I had tears in my eyes and I was like "I REFUSE TO LOSE, I MUST END THIS CONFLICT AND SEND MY BROTHERS HOME TO THE COMFORT OF THEIR FAMILIES. THIS WILL BE THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD SHED."
Thanks, Sabaton.
Damn
You win?
Yea. Good times.
+João Victor Mazzei That was deep, real deep. Good thing you won to send them back. But that begs the question... What happened to the other side?
Don't remember exactly. Killed most? Some routed? Some prisoners?
"Religion and greed cause millions to bleed"
So true!
Literally every single thing in human history has at one point or another caused millions to bleed. We're just violent beasts that will use any excuse to kill eachother, but wear a veneer of civilization.

@@wouterkessel4852 So if the Israelis and Palestinians stopped being religious, they would still be building walls and fighting each other?
@@w-james9277 Of course we're human and the main reason for the fighting is to be the one that controls the region with religion only being used by both sides to strengthen their claim a little more.
@@wouterkessel4852 That is false. Religion has been the cause of nearly all major wars in history. The 40 years war (which this album is mostly about) was catholics and protestants fighting for control of Europe. These countries have no reason to fight each other yet because of their religion, they killed each other for 40 years.
The mist settled on Charles Bridge. The young Prague militiaman clutched at a wound on his flank. He saw a movement. A Swedish soldier with a bayonet. The young militiaman lay stock still, and suddenly, he twitched. The Swedish man noticed him. The Swedish man walked over. The young militiaman awaited, anticipated, expected that bayonet thrust, but the Swedish soldier put aside the bayonet. "I spare you..." he whispered in broken Czech, then broke down in tears. As the mist settled, the Bohemian and the Swede sat side by side. Both thought about war. The crying Swede looked up. "Who let this happen..." they both said.
Now that the war has started in Ukraine due to Russia this song immediately came back to my mind.
Same here.
Me too, bro
Me too bro
Exactly same here...:(
Hits different now
eu4 started to play when i was developing my country. Great sing!
song
Isn't a little be hypocritical for this song to play on a game where you can't do anything else than waging wars on your neighbors? You could try to play the trade game but, you know...It's much more easier and efficient just to conquer all the rich trade nodes and be done with.
Yeah, EU4 is very narrow designed.
lol this rage
You can always try the 'PU ALL THE THINGS' method. Involves less war.
Used this song last year as an intro to protestant reformation lesson. My 10th grade students loved it!
The best way to teach religion is by the Bible but with music ❤. King David got it sooooo right.
just learning EU4 has sabaton in guess i need to buy more dlcs
Don't. Paradox is evil
Paradox is fine. A lot of the DLC is just unit art packs and music. Many of us enjoy having games that we play being updated and improved years after release. I'm glad they've planned for 3 more years of DLC, it keeps the game fresh. Want to stick to the game they released? No problem, you can.
all their latest DLC's and updates make the game unplayable unless you have the new DLC. they became nothing but money grabbers
well that's not true, it's simple to roll back on patches if that's what you want to do. Most mods require rolling back too.
No they don't... I've been playing eu4 without the last 2 dlcs for months and it played just fine.
Probably the best Sabaton's official lyric video *ever*, in my opinion anyway.
Well, looks like I have to Resist And Bite :D. But they are quite different so opinion is urs ofc.

Favorite song from album :)
"You have goosebumps. Are you cold?"
"No, I am just listening to "A Lifetime Of War" by Sabaton."
I'm turning 29 this year. It's insane to think about that if this war had started when I was born, it would still have one year left. Truly a lifetime of war. I can't even begin to grasp the sheer scale of what this means.
11 months 27 days and 13 hours. Not a year
And again another masterpiece of music by Sabaton. I first stumbled upon Ghost Division on a World of Tanks Video. About a year later I listened to more songs of you....and boy. I am impressed. I love history and I (surprisingly) love Power Metal, at least your stuff.
I guess this can be considered the deep and beautiful ballade-like song every metal formation. has to deliver. It is so good.
Cheers and Greetings from Germany! :')
Thats exactly how I landed upon Sabaton.
19Frank12 Same happened to me.Listened to Panzerkampf song by Sabaton on a World of Tanks video, and then listened to the other Sabaton songs and boy...Sabaon turned in my favorite band, EVA.
My first sabaton song was also ghost division, and now they are my favorite band, saw them live a few weeks ago, just amazing....
My first Sabaton song was Primo Victoria and I immediately got hooked. Typically power metal isn't my type but I love history a great deal.
Cheers and Greetings from the United States!
Mine was Uprising
The way the song ends... By not ending. The wars never stopped, not for long. Bless you Sabaton, singing of heroes and bravery in tragedy
This song helps me cope with the fall of Afghanistan…. Feels like all our efforts were for not. Thank you Sabaton. 🤘🏼
No more brother wars. Too long have we shed eachother's blood in vain. Together the sons of Europe shall rise once again from the ashes

Mike Rex I dont really agree, china has lots of problems with censorship, india with woman discrimination and rights and usa with racism :)
Mike Rex Ah you again, let's wreck your argument shall we :)
1: The EU is the most powerful economic block in the world, beating both the US by a small margin and China by a huge margin.
2: Racism is very very minimal in the western world, especially compared to the rest of the world, people of every ethnicity can live there, practice their religion there, work there and so forth, not a lot of nations allow this especially not on large scale. The dislike some Immigrants get is primarily due to their own actionsand that aside a nation has the right to regulate their Immigration which has nothing to do with Racism. If you want Racism try to be a Muslim in India :)
3: China is indeed becoming very powerful, but that has a lot to do due to western consumers, if they were to lose the US and Europe as trading partners their economy would take a massive impact causing it to crash, that is the downside of a production economy.
4: The Indian government might try to do something about it, but so far it is a mess of rape and violence, while in Europe the chances of getting raped are extremely slim so is the amount of violence in the same respect.
5: Obviously you are incapable to keep up with the news, Europe has dug itself out of the recent economic depression besides the fact, Europa's golden age will soon come again as Nationalism is rising, so yeah have fun with that.
6: On your accounts of Racism, in case you mean the Cop violence in the USA, statistics have shown that Black people in the US make up around 12 to 17% of the population yet commit 45% of the violent crimes{Murder, armed robbery, gang violence and so forth.} Whites make up around 70% of the population and commit about an equal amount of violent crimes. Yet statistics also show that for the 1000 black people died by Cop violence 2000 white people were killed by cops and added to that a white person is atleast 30 times more likely to be robbed or killed by a black person in the USA then the other way around, should I interpret that as Racism against whites? In Europe we got the same disproportionate crime numbers when it pertains to primarily Middle eastern and Eastern and Northern African people, added to a dose of Religious extremism from the same group, for that reason right wing parties are growing, is that strange as well?
If you truly think Europe and the USA are so bad, here is a tip. Don't go there and keep to your own business. I mean it seems tons of your countrymen disagree with your statements as they come here to seek a better life. xD
I showed this song to someone who spent the last hour talking about how most modern songs are garbage (to which I agree). He picked up almost all of the messages in this song and loved it.

The Thirty Years War was incredibly bloody, the only reason it isn't talked about more is because it was overshadowed by the carnage of WWI.
For the people I think the thirty years war was a lot worse than WW1 and even WW2. Germany lost about 30% of its population in this war, in some regions more than 2/3. In WW1 it was about 4%.
@@pg1448 Here in South America we had something similar. The Paraguayan war of 1864. (Also known as the War of the Triple Alliance) It was the bloodiest war in the region since the independence wars. It faced the Triple Alliance (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) vs Paraguay, long story short, Paraguay had to appeal to use civilians and children as local militia, cause they have already lost almost all of his soldiers. Estimated after war reports said that Paraguay had lost at least 300K Soldiers and an unknown amount of civilians, leaving an estimated of 60% of total male population killed. As a result it leaved a woman/man ratio of 4 to 1. ( or even as high as 20 to 1, in the most devastated areas) And all of that thanks to territorial disputes.
@@pg1448 That was 296 years before WW1. Germany had a lot more people in 1914 than Germany did in 1618. ww1 was actually a lot worse than the 30 years' war in my opinion because the treaty of Versailles basically the end of WW1 set the course for WW2 to begin. and WW2 alone had more German deaths than almost all of the casualties of the 30-year war combined. all three of these wars were terrible but the worse one to participate in, in my opinion is WW1. the trench system was disgusting, cramped and was constantly bombarded by artillery.
@@shrimpbayless3965 Well I think the proportion of deaths relative to population numbers is more indicative of how "bad" it must have been to live through a war rather than absolute numbers. Because of course WW1 and WW2 had a lot more deaths simply because the population size was much bigger. Nevertheless the mortality rate pales in comparison to the thirty years war meaning the average person was way more likely to survive the world wars than the thirty years war. The soldiers in the trenches of WW1 are an exception though, I grant you that, the conditions were awful and the life expectancy of a soldier very short

Absolutely stunning song.
Sabaton.

I remember when this song kicked out on my UA-cam subscriptions 12 years ago when I was playing League of Legends in the night. I instantly hit this video to listen. Magic night, I remember till now. I was 12 years younger, I was teenager living his calm and chill life with games and Sabaton music. Many things changed but not my love to Sabaton. Now I am 28 and still with you guys, I hope that I will find this comment by next 12 years and follow-up with new experience and memories in my head, but what's more, I will be still rocking with you guys! Long live the king, long live Sabaton \m/

Everything I've heard from Sabaton hitherto has made me feel mighty, but I can honestly say this one had me bawling like a baby. Excellent job, Sabaton. Respect to Sweden 🇸🇪 from the USA 🇺🇸
This song is still relevant today
Imagine that time. You will be born in a time of war. You grow up in war. And you die in war as a soldier. You will never know peace.
I'm from the Czech Republic. We call the time after the war the time of darkness. One third of the population Lands of the Bohemian Crown died.

"To live one more day" There are added hints of a higher pitch in this line, and i absolutely love it!
With a few changes, this song would be perfect for the Syrian Civil War:
Two ways to view 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 speak, those words been heard before.
Two ways to view the world brought Syria down in flames.
Two ways to rule...

It's the same stuff. In essence, the Syrian war is about rebellious shia vs radical sunnis, but on the surface in a more tangible way there's party politics and geopolitics dictating the tides of the war. It's really similar to the 30 year war, superficially Catholics vs Protestants but in actuality about geopolitics and greed.

"Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: 'Do not march on Moscow'"

Why so afraid of the russians, they are not that hard to defeat. All of her neighbours and many from a far had done it.

Montgomery may have read the book, but he didn't study it.
What have the Russians ever done that's so amazing?
thank you paradox. you are the best game studio out there
Well, if you forgive those DLC
I mean, yeah, the big ones are justifiable, but the small ones might as well have been vanilla
+NinjaKatti the small ones are for people like me who want the small detailes and dont mind paying for them
I shall withdraw what I said, I remembered something wrong.
Those DLC arent small details or more content.
Basic version of game is basically early access or beta while DLC are just patched that balance things or fix mechanics.
Small ones are not for poeple like you who want small details. Small ones and big ones are there to milk money from loosers. They just made DLC trap like Payday 2.
Errare humanum est.
Just heard this in EU 4 for the first time, and immediately had to come find it here.
I plan to be an officer in the US Army, and this is my favorite song. War is a part of the human mind, and cannot be avoided. But for the good of humanity, large scale wars need to end.
having this type of felling you will be an exellent officer
Often war is necessary to stop bad men and women from hurting innocents. But the fewer dead good men and women the better.
Yup
True.... But the sad part about war is that millions have died because of people with money and titles... Even worse is that we still allow it to happen. Like if Trump sends you to Iran you have to go to not spend time in jail and get you're life ruined
Si vis pacem, para bellum still remains the primary reason for all countries to have armed forces. You could say soldiers have succeeded in their mission perfectly when a war doesn't happen at all. Or like Sun Tzu said, the apex of the art of war is to defeat your enemy without a single battle.
From religion to politics. Man will truly never learn, will he?
@@cornpop3159 👏👏👏👏 hit the friggin nail on the head. Respect brother.
Like they sang in "Come Join The Murder" from Sons of Anarchy: "He [the murderous crow] laughed aloud as he flew from Eden. You always knew you never learn."
Here's my translation of the swedish lyric, that also goes well with the melody. Let me know what you think.
I turn around to see my homestead fade away
I wish I could have stayed there, just another day
Not yet a man, though called to arms to do my part
Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart
With kinsmen from my village I went out to war
In a world of flames
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who’s never seen again
But who mourns over me?
Went out to war for Sweden, baptized in blood
No gallantry awaits us, dying in the mud
In fields where friends has fallen, there’ll be no songs
Our fate once more we challenge, and marches on
Far away from home
(To be baptized and die in war)
In a world of flames
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who’s never seen again
But who mourns over me?
And when my time is finally here
Who’ll sing my song?
They’re fighting on
I hope to die without much fear
I fall asleep, and fade away
And never wake up
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who’s never seen again
But who mourns over me?
Thanks
I love how you took the effort to make the lyrics rhyme.
the chorus gave me all of the goosebumps
lifetime of war triggers everytime you start religious war in the HRE in EU4 to make you feel bad LOL
Great song btw, one of the best made by Sabaton
Reminds me of the nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan. Do we need another one to go anymore?
The great thing about the song, is that the English describes the causes and conduct of the Thirty Years' War. While the Swedish version of the song tells the story of a common Swedish soldier fighting in the Thirty Years' War.
Both versions are fantastic!
Damn what a song...
You know what is kinda sad:
That you could change only some lyrics and apply this to many other wars that happend........
Example:
Eastern Front WW2:
"Two ways to view the world
So similar at times
Two ways to rule the world
To justify their crimes
By Dicators, young men are sent
To die in war
Their propaganda speaks
Those words were heard before(...)"
(...)Through years of war
It feels like diesease there is no sign of peace
Ideology and greed, now milions will bleed
Four years of war"
Or free men dead in war instead of 4 years of war
So should have Stalin just let all of Russia be genocided instead of sending men to war?
When you dont have the DLC so you come to youtube
Imagine not hoisting the black flag lmao
I'm Christian and he is absolutely right about religion. It has to be a relationship between God and man, then that man and the rest of humanity. I believe in the Bible as the word of God for sure And i do have concerns about other religions but at the end of the day Christ tells me to love my neighbor as myself.
If I had a time machine, ad go back and give these men a warm bowl of porridge. And a hug.
I love how this song and "En Livstid I Krig" share the same melody and theme, but the lyrics are about a Swedish soldier POV.
En Livstid I Krig's lyrics are definitively worth a read.
'religion and greed cause millions to bleed' truer words have never been spoken
To those who say sabaton is glorifying war. You,re all wrong. The song was made for entertainment and in both Swedish and English they depict the horrors of war. Theres also only small differences beetween the Swedish and English songs such as in This version they say ” Three decades of war” while in the swedish one they say ” En livstid i krig.” Which means” A lifetime of war.” So in neither versions there glorifying war in any way. Sorry for bad English I just wanted this to be clear
Well, in livstid I krig, it is sung in a swedish soldiers point of view.
This one just makes me cry every single time.
A lot of this song, sadly, is becoming relevant to the world in 2016.
Bring your own alcohol
History repeats itself. - Many men and women of history
You're delusional if you think any of our modern issues are even remotely comparable to the 30 Years' War.
Hmm I'm a British person who supports brexit the Eu will fall soon
and then 2020 arrived
Many European nations claimed that God is staying on their side. Ironically, even when they fought with each other. Don't blame religion, blame humanity and it's desire for expansion.
Felix silverberg lol
Voi Pawlov humanity created religion.
you guys realize all of humanity's nations have done things that are pretty fucked up except india (never heard they have done anything)
Peter Ricks How could a powerless nation do anything?
i personnal don't i think all people are different some share the same views and the happen to be of that religon but i dont think they are all like that
"Has man gone insane" can be used pretty much every as a lyrics to song about any war
History repeats itself.
Somebody said "the only thing we learn from history; is we learn NOTHING from history."
Every time I listen to this song it gives me chills
As a history lover I love Sabaton, their songs are amazing because they’re based on historical events what makes them so cool
I'm a Hungarian guy and i am proud of my country. But the fact, that we've always on the "bad" side in the history. My people is often suffered about the Soviets and the Germans. :( So good of you Swedes :) I'm jealous :D
Sorry for my bad English!
Orthodox Clay best Clay
+H. Leo What do you mean? :)
***** Same shit who cares about it?
+XCashfull Hungary has been on the good side with the refugees this time.
one of the best sabaton songs
