The Swedish version is from the viewpoint of a Swedish soldier in the 30 year war, it's his thoughts and fears. The English version is from the point of a neutral observer who can see the losses and the politics behind the war. There's a lyric version with a translated version of the Swedish version.

[@InkanSpider]

As a Swede I think that's the beauty of it: the Swedish album is subjective, since it's from the Swedes perspective, while the English one is objective and about the history as a whole. They complete each other and that is so great

[@darkiee69]

@Lord Heax Based on what? Since the english version is about the 30 year war I see no reason that the Swedish version should be about the northern war.

[@MrCaome]

@Lord Heax It is the 30 years war, if it was the great northen war it would be placed later in the album. Not before the song "1648"

[@martinottesen1053]

@Lord Heax To quote the Sabaton wiki: "The Swedish version of this song tells the story of a common Swedish soldier fighting in the Thirty Years' War."

A lifetime of war Versions: #1#2 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 worhty end?

I was one of the many men, women and children who sang along to my dear Sweden's wonderful band Sabaton that day. TODAY when I watch this video over and over it is incredibly emotional. My father fought for freedom in Iraq, Bosnia, etc., and grandfather World War II, who fought voluntarily for freedom in other countries all over the world. I made the same decision and did military service for a time and now as a 46 year ex soldier I do not hesitate to protect our planet from the men of evil. This song is multinational, all countries in this world can recognize themselves from their countries history Continue with your reactions Alex // Hugs from Sweden

[@n0namesowhatblerp362]

I havent read all comments but i hope someone has mentioned it before. The 30 years war was between protestants and catholics, sweden sided with the protestants and fought with the german protestants gainst he catholics..they made some horrible war crimes...that a side..the fact that the audience sings with the band is corresponding very well to the sweidsh soldiers in the 30 years war because sweden had a small army even back then and we were underestimated. Historians believe the reason that sweden did so well in the 30 years war was because, even though they had a small army in comparission to the rest, the majoriy of the soldiers really and truly believed in what they were fighting for. This is an historical event that proves that deomocracy rules as long as you all fight for what you believe in. That the audience is singing in perfect unison feels to me like a perfectly, honoroable rememberance of our ancestors who died in that war. They stood and died together. But in the end they are all just dead.

"I look around and see my home disappear My time at home now feels far too short Only youth, hardly a man when duty called me If I get to see my home again, I do not know Among relatives from my village, I went out to battle And the world burned For the war it can Destroy a man I give my life for my homeland But who misses me? So see me as it A husband, a friend Father and son never coming home But who mourns me? Went out in battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood Out there, death awaits, not heroism In fields where relatives fall, no song is heard Challenging our destinies, once again Far from home Be baptized and die in battle And the world burned For the war it can Destroy a man I give my life for my homeland But who misses me? So see me as it A husband, a friend Father and son never coming home But who mourns me? "Guitar solo" And when my time has run out Who cares then? They are struggling Does a soldier get a dignified end? Get to sleep Disappear And never wake up For the war it can Destroy a man I give my life for my homeland But who misses me? So see me as it A husband, a friend Father and son never coming home But who mourns me?"

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?

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 creed Cause 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 Döpas och dö I strid Lifetime at war 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 creed Cause millions to bleed. Three decades of war. 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
