========= Father LYRICS ==========
A long ago in eastern Prussia
Young men with great ambitions rise
So who can tell me who can say for sure
Which one will win the Nobel Prize?
It was a golden age for science
The kaiserreich would hold the key
And as the conflict came and tensions rose
The manifest of the 93
Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where’s the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man’s land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
“Perversions of ideals of science”
Lost words of alienated wife
And in the trenches of the western front
Unknowing soldiers pay the price
And on the battlefield they’re dying
And on the fields the crops are grown
So who can tell us what is right or wrong
Maths or morality alone?
During times when there’s peace he belonged to the world
During times when there’s war he belonged to his place of birth
Where, will this lead? What’s coming next?
From your inventions?
We wonder where, where does it end?
Who can foresee, see what will be?
========= Historic Fact ==========
Fritz Haber, often referred to as the “father of chemical warfare”, weaponised lethal gas for the Germans during World War I. Haber is also responsible for the Haber-Bosch process, an invention that resulted in a boom in the world’s population due to a significant increase in agricultural produce.

[@scholaroftheworldalternatehist]

@@gurrapalm2051 It kind of does. The billions that now exist because of the Haber process is mind bogglingly larger than the millions that died bc of Haber's gas/related products

[@Plazmasoldier]

@@gurrapalm2051 Its not just allowing for more people to be born. His invention of artificial fertilizer has both directly and indirectly helped to feed hundreds of millions, if not over a billion people or more from starving. According to an article from 2017, at that point in time, around 50% of the world's population was supported by artificial fertilizers. While that percentage has almost undoubtedly changed, the point still stands. His invention of mustard gas, chlorine gas, and chemical warfare in general helped to slaughter countless soldiers on the battlefield and would later aid in the extermination of many others and likely countless more in future years. His invention of chemical fertilizer has, by extension, has allowed humanity to support billions through increased crop yields. It's likely that each of us here have him to thank in some way for the vegetables on our plates. This is why it's such a good question and an even hard one to answer.

[@thetinfoilfreak]

@@gurrapalm2051 either way, someone would have discovered both. At that time, like 50 other scientists were about to discover poison gas, and even more were about to discover the process used to reintroduce nitrogen into the soil. It's just less likely that the same person would have discovered both had he not discovered them.

[@aaronwright5641]

The lyrics to this song are some powerful stuff. The Haber-Bosch process was developed in the early 1900's and was the first feasible method to produce ammonia in a laboratory. That was a very big deal. It allowed for mass scale production of fertilizer to feed the growing world population. Half of the world's population today relies on food grown using ammonia from this method. In 1918, the German chemist Fritz Haber was awarded a Nobel Prize for the discovery. But then it gets uglier. WWI happens, and it turns out that the ammonia is also a critical component of explosives. Even worse, Haber himself was called the "father of chemical warfare" because he studied ways to build chemical weapons out of chlorine gas. He even showed up at the Second Battle of Ypres to see chlorine gas used in combat for the first time. He defended the use of chemical weapons and his contributions to military research in general, at one point saying: "during peace time a scientist belongs to the World, but during war time he belongs to his country." (2:34) He came from a Jewish family but he died before WWII started, so he never witnessed the millions being murdered by poison gas in concentration camps, including a few members of his extended family. The discovery that has fed millions of people also led to one of the most horrific weapons ever created. Science is a double-edged sword.

[@akessel92train]

Ironically he did face the Nazis in the days of Hitler’s rise to power. Hitler hated Haber not just him being ethnically Jewish and being one of Germany’s top scientists but because he invented toxic gas and Hitler suffered along with his fellow WWI soldiers on the front from the very weapon he made. The nazis forced him to fire associates and blacklist associates under the Nazi regime when they took over all the institutions for themselves. Haber refused and resigned from his position in the top scientific academy he worked at and fled to Switzerland. the nazis ultimately got a hold of the last gas Haber and his colleagues were working on, a pesticide called Zyklon A.

Nothing is right and nothing is wrong. But the horrors of the war were just. Did the peoples want war? Yes, they wanted it. Moreover, they demanded it, and they rejoiced at its beginning. So, the death, horror, hunger and grief that these people received, they received fairly - they made them themselves (though they wished for other people, not for themselves). Did the rulers of these people want war? Yes. Moreover, they were preparing this war and tried to start it several times (Anglo-Boer, Russian-Japanese). Kings expand their power at the expense of other people's grief. So, what they got is fair: the Bolsheviks quite rightly shot the tsar and his family, the Germans quite rightly drove the Kaiser away, the nobles, officials and officers quite rightly found themselves on bayonets and in firing pits. They purposefully created such a world themselves.

People often fail to realize Russia today is far different from the Soviet Union in the late 80s and early 90s. Russia is borderline fascist and is for sure against communism and definitely against a return to it. Their soldiers may have flown that flag at the beginning of the war, that was an attempt to signify unity under one banner instead of coming off as occupiers, but when Ukrainians didn’t buy it and fought back they ditched the flag and any attempt at hiding their intentions, hence the merciless bombardment of civilians. Still, I think it’s preferable for Sabaton to make songs about Ukraine, but that won’t be for some time. Not to mention their adamant stance on neutrality from any one faction.

@@EskChan19 You see more reluctance when the weapon is born out of “mutual plausibility”, that is, someone on each side is merely “talking about” a new discovery being possibly applied to war, but not really wanting to go that far since it’s too powerful, then some spy or other hears and reports on them “talking about it”, and the same happens with the OTHER side’s spies. If the spies don’t catch on to the discussion of the REALLY bad weapons, than they might, ironically, never get off the drawing board. I think that was the case with nukes, the German and American spies creating a feedback loop between their top intelligence and weapons development departments, until you had Germany’s hard water project (that was ultimately stopped by professional skiers, of all people), and the Manhattan Project. The war in Europe ended just before America completed its first prototype, but it could still be used against Japan. I’ve had to rethink this, and I wish they hadn’t. It was really only justified as part of the German nuclear feedback phenomenon, and Hitler never authorized the hard water project to be shared with Hirohito’s generals; he wanted it for Germany alone; even as his defeat inevitably loomed, he sent no warning to Japan that such a weapon was at least possible, which could have made a difference. So Japan had no idea such a thing was even possible.

[@johnmcmanus2447]

Sabaton has become my go-to band. Every day at work i put on a mix, pop in my earbuds and strap in for a history lesson! You guys are amazing!

[@eb9832]

Man, the lyrics really capture this so well.

[@jotaro_tokyskiy]

Обожаю химию и обожаю Сабатон, а когда эти два кумира соединяются вместе, то получаются великие произведения. I love chemistry and I love Sabaton, and when these two idols come together, you get great works.

"Father of Toxic gas and Chemical warfare". INCREDIBLE PHRASE! THIS BAND SABATON IS FANTASTIC!

[@crystalbockelie6605]

Love all of sabatons music.

[@infamous-bd]

Great guitar riffs by Sabaton

[@Sabaton]

Thank you so much! 🤘

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

A real winner and a gruesome tune for Halloween, a spooktastic haunting song of warfare and nightmares! You really captured the mad scientist vibe of this man, makes you wonder whether to revere or revile this man for giving WWI the infamous cloud of death that was immortalized on the Western Front. The same gas that would make 100 Russian troops famous at the same time.

The ded man's marching

[@xeon39688]

He wasn't a man scientist

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

@@xeon39688 I would believe that, but it captures an aura of one, that maybe he thought it was madness he was brewing; maybe or maybe not seeing what a nightmarish chemical he was crafting.

[@dominiklehn2866]

Before you decide if you like or hate him, remember poison gas wasn't his only invention. The Haber-Bocsch process mentioned here is used a lot in agriculture, hence the line "fed the world" unfortunately the sane ammonia that's so effective as fertilizer is also effective as an explosive

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

How can there be a band where not a single song is a miss? Every song ever released by Sabaton is a BANGER

[@Nexandr]

Only a few can manage that, and SABATON is one of them.

[@NathanTAK]

Have you actually listened to every single Sabaton song?

[@stephenmeji3057]

Passion and humble persistent efforts to improve.... I guess.

[@PS_Artorias]

You're in the army now is the only song they've got that I'm on the fence about because the message is there but the lyrics and the music are kinda off

[@felsgamer]

Because its basically the same stuff over and over again. They literally use the same chord progressions everytime

[@miketheant1107]

As a chemestry student, I would just like to say that everything about this terrifies me. The music,the lyrics, Fritz Haber's contradictory achievements... it's a great song.

[@matthewhoutchens6088]

your music is beautiful. this is the kind of music i listen to for every thing.

[@tetsugazangetsu]

I already get a goosebumps in the intro, Sabaton really is the modern bard there songs need to be secured in a doomsday vault with other great songs to be preserve so that the next generation can hear there songs

[@theeccentrictripper3863]

Music like this preserves history just as well, if not better, than written accounts, because we'll always be able to sing the songs, even if we lose our ability to read/write a particular language.

[@Draven_Shadow_Walker]

This song is awesome. I have always enjoyed learning about the use of chemical weapons in history and the story of Dr. Fritz Haber was such a interesting story about good, evil and patriotism.

[@hellionshark3197]

I like how deep the vocal is in this one. The song sounds almost creepy and nightmarish, and yet hopeful. Very interesting story as well. Makes me wonder what he was thinking doing both things...

[@fresh09ify]

This song hits me double: 1. I´m an history nerd; 2. I´m a chemist. Can´t wait for the rest of "Weapons of the Modern Age". Great Work Guys 🤟

[@brunosuicida6791]

This is the only new song though, the others are not

[@jman5949]

Can't wait for thier one covering Oppenheimer.

[@olafgurke4699]

This was not the song I expected to this title. And just on my father's birthday, nonetheless. This is an absolute banger, like always. The eerie, haunting ambience works really well. Please more songs like this!

[@mtgemperor]

Yeah, on the eve of the month of Halloween, no less.

[@jessegd6306]

Drums? Steadily pounding. Guitar? Optimistic story. Bass? Calculated restraint. Vocals? Bardic inspiration. Piano? Somber tragedy. First heard of this song in someone's hour-long Sabaton's Best Of on KZbin during my drive to-from work. Been stuck in my head only vaguely remembered in feel, but I knew I liked it.

[@Anti-FurryBlackSkull27]

[@Sabaton]

Oh WOW! 😂

[@A_Dragovich]

One absolutely minor and unrelated thing, but I love that Sabaton doesn't put a very long, silent ending at the end of the video. So that each song loops perfectly, or there's no awkward pauses when you are listening to them in a playlist... Quality band in all aspects!

[@opasnifTEW]

Sabaton is the band that helps me not to drown in depression and keep looking for inspiration in your songs. Keep up the good work you guys are the best
