Sabaton - "Great War" (Live at Wacken 2019)

Where dead men lies I’m paralyzed, my brothers’ eyes are gone
And he shall be buried here, nameless marks his grave
Mother home, get a telegram and shed a tear of grief
Mud and blood, in foreign land, trying to understand

Where is this greatness I’ve been told?
This is the lies that we been sold
Is this a worthy sacrifice?

Great war
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

I’m standing here, I’m full of fear, with bodies at my feet
Over there in the other trench, bullets wear my name
Lead ahead, as the captain said and show them no remorse
Who am I to understand what have I become?

I do my duties, pay the price
I’ll do the worthy sacrifice
I know my deeds are not in vain

Great war
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

And feet by feet
We pay the price of a mile here
Though men are falling, we see Heroes rise
We face the heat
As we are fighting until the dawn
So follow me and we will write our own history

Great war
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

Παρακολουθήστε το βίντεο των Sabaton με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του τραγουδιού "The Great War" (από την εμφάνισή τους στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Wacken Open Air του 2019), το οποίο πρωτακούσαμε στον πλέον πρόσφατο ομότιτλο δίσκο των Σουηδών metallers που κυκλοφόρησε πρόπερσι. Η Σουηδική μπάντα έχει προγραμματίσει τον διάδοχό του ("The War to End All Wars") το νέο έτος (4 Μαρτίου 2022)...

Sabaton: «For the greater part of the Wacken concert, we commandeered the festival’s two main stages, the side-by-side-and-connected Faster and Harder Stages, becoming the first artist in Wacken’s 30-year history to utilize both stages simultaneously in this way. During this show we were joined by the Great War choir, a bunch of previous Sabaton members as well as the internationally acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated virtuoso cellist Tina Guo for the encore.»
