Music for the battle II

Day 2,629, 04:16 • Published in Spain Italy • by Tito Berni

Hoy es día de holdeo VR, así que aprovecho para traer un grupo que he conocido gracias a Erwin Rommel DA, que lo tiene en su perfil. Se trata de Sabaton, un grupo sueco de heavy metal que se caracteriza por su estética militarizada y sus letras de contenido histórico-bélico. Su nombre proviene de la parte de la armadura medieval que cubre el empeine del pie y que en español se llama escarpe. Las letras me recuerdan a las canciones de los antiguos bardos, y a diferencia de otros grupos no toman partido por una ideología determinada.

Os dejo dos canciones representativas, la primera la favorita de Erwin Rommel DA, la segunda mi preferida por motivos obvios.


Sabaton - Ghost Division
Sabaton - Ghost Division

Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun
Shaking the ground with the force of thousand guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Tanks leading the way, leading the way
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm
Fast as the lighting phantoms swarm
200 miles at nightfall, taken within a day
Thus earning their name, earning the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Always ahead, as the blitzkrieg rages on
Breaking morale the with the sound of blazing guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Tanks leading the way, leading the way
Living a trail of destruction to a foreign land
(Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault made to serve the Nazi plan
(Wehrmacht's pride, ghost division)
Communication's broken, phantom's are far away
Thus earning their name, earning the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force
(Far ahead, breaks resistance)
Reaching the way for panzer corps
(Shows no fear, self-subsistent)
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Tanks leading the way, claiming the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread


Sabaton - The Hammer Has Fallen
Sabaton - The Hammer Has Fallen

Here I am standing, darkness all around.
Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold as ice
No one close to hear my voice
Did not leave me with a choice
Heaven will you wait for me?

Will I find a way, will I find a place?
Will you let me go in peace?
Will I find a way to the other side?

Sad are memories from the life I lived
Cannot go on, cannot go further
It has to end right here
For the things that I have done
All the girls I lost and won
Let me rest in peace at last

Will I find a way, will I find a place?
Will you let me go in peace?
Leave behind those dark days
Now I ask again will you hear my cries
Then you realize why oh why
I must find a way to the other side

Hear them whisper calling out my name
The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen
I have paid the price
Sad to realize too late death was meant to be my fate
All this pain will follow me
