========= The Price Of A Mile LYRICS =========
Hear the sound of a machinegun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortals firing rains the scene
Scars the fields
that once were green
It’s a stalemate at the frontline
where the soldiers rest in mud
roads and houses
all is gone
there is no glory to be won
know that many men will suffer
know that many men will die
half a million lives at stake
At the fields of Passchendaele
And as the night falls the general calls
and the battle carries on and on
And on
What is the purpose of it all
What’s the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men’s lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in a trench with no way out
Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Gone is the fields that once were green
Still a deadlock at the frontline
Where the soldiers die in mud
roads and houses since long gone
still no glory has been won
know that many men has suffered
know that many men has died
Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
And on
What’s the purpose of it all?
What’s the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men’s lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in a trench with no way out
Young men are dying
They pay the price
Oh how they suffer
So tell me what’s the price of a mile
That’s the price of a mile.
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men’s lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in a trench with no way out

105 years on, this song is still relevant, amd perhaps ready for an update. It kind of accurately tells the stories of the Russian mobiks in trenches around Bakhmut, Svatove, Avdiivka, and all the other places along the Donbas frontline. It kind of tell the stories of the Ukrainians, too, except for the fact that they are not far away from home, and they know full well what they are fighting for.

A direct reference to the Battle of the Somme. 6 miles of ground was won by the Allies; and all it cost us was 600,000 casualties on our side. Horrifying, isn't it? The definition of a human meat grinder. 59,000 casualties on the first day alone; and the battle lasted 140 days.

Squire nagged and bullied till I went to fight, (Under Lord Derby's Scheme). I died in hell - They called it Passchendaele. My wound was slight, And I was hobbling back; and then a shell Burst slick upon the duck-boards: so I fell Into the bottomless mud, and lost the light. At sermon-time while Squire is in his pew, He gives my gilded name a thoughtful stare: For, though low down upon the list, I'm there; "In proud and glorious memory"...that's my due. Two bleeding years I fought in France, for Squire: I suffered anguish that he's never guessed. Once I came home on leave: and then went west...

This almost hits me because my great, great grandad was in the Battle of the Somme (which we covered in school). He survived and got a medal, but lost an arm during the war. But from what I remember during school, I don’t think that we covered the Battle of Passchendaele. I liked learning about history in school, but I feel like every time I listen to your songs, I’m given a new history lesson. We didn’t cover as much as I would’ve loved to in school, which I feel like is almost an insult to the stories that we never hear. You have my deepest respect, thank you for keeping the memories of the fallen alive.

[@lonniebailey4989]

I salute your great great grandad. And I agree with you about the missed topics schools don’t teach us. There’s so many good things that interests me, but the interesting stuff doesn’t get mentioned in school, so I, when I have time, like to find good events that happened. Sabaton helped with that, along with Mark Felton, The Front, etc. who are all history channels.

Idk if anyone else has pointed out but I honestly can't get over how the song ends with the repeat of "Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair" over and over again, continuing on even as the song ends. It's reflective of WWI as a whole in a weird way. Men constantly being thrown in waves and waves towards the enemy, repeating the same tactic every single time hoping that this will be the one instance where they'll actually win. The line is chilling enough but the repeat is what always gets me a little emotional. Not a clue if Sabaton did this on purpose or I'm reading too much into it, but it really takes this song to another level imo.

[@Josephistry]

that’s not true at all. They didn’t just throw their men at the enemy , this was a transitional period in war, new tech, new tactics, new outlooks. Of course they weren’t rommel levels of tank commanders. This is obvious today, a large mixed assault with tanks, aircraft and tanks to break through a small area in the enemies defense to force them to retreat or flank them. This was the only the case at the tail end of the war where the fighting was more like what we’d see in ww2. This always happens with the help of foresight. (defending the ardennes as a example of foresight) let me remind you, the last major war was fought 110 years ago with muskets, large shoulder by shoulder line battalion, extensive use of cavalry, cannons so it’s pretty forgiving that they didn’t know how to use the new tech at top top shape. Not to mention this was the first major war to have a static line and not the old school going through the countryside then fight the enemy, then take the capital, this was a war fought with millions of men in a trench line going all the way through a border.

[@jamesharding3459]

@@Josephistry Well, no, actually. The Crimean and Franco-Prussian wars were both large scale conflicts fought with weapons more in line with WWI than the Napoleonic era, and both resulted in large-scale losses and _temporary_ changes by the officers present in theater. There were also large colonial conflicts like the Boer War. But the lessons were almost immediately forgotten.

[@Josephistry]

@@jamesharding3459 the Franco Prussian war was between just two nations and a swift victory and not a trench warfare struggle, and the Crimean war wasn't that big in terms of battles it was called the Crimean war for a reason, IT WAS THE ONLY REAL BATTLE, not too mention it started in 1853, WW1 WAS 51 YEARS LATER! That wasn't a good comparison at all. Not to mention basically all the of the command structure who fought during that time are retired and dead with not that much to learn from. WW1's problems wasn't a tactics thing. It was a tech thing, with no tanks and trench sweepers as well as not ss low morale divisions in the trenches that aren't deserting en mass like in 1917 an 1918 to effectively punch through, nothing was changing. Don't ever think you know more than people who've participated in actual war like you could've done any better without ya know 2021 experience. Not every conflict is big enough to learn from.

I think a lot of people don't appreciate how horrific WW1 was. We know about it and hear about it, but a lot of people (especially in America) consider WW2 worse due to the non-war atrocities. The US not being involved at the onset also plays a part. Still, the fighting that occurred was horrific. Gasses, trench warfare. WW2 had a purpose. WW1 is all the more horrible because what was it for?

@@Gokes93 Nah. The Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires were broken, the Russian simply changed its name and the British continued on and wouldn't be broken until much later. The purpose of WW1 was to create the conditions necessary for WW2.

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

When Sabaton cry out. Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an amry in despair. Knee deep in mud. Stuck in a trench with no way OUT. Instant chills.

[@Admiral45-10]

Just imagine this situation: you're walking around in probably only place you could feel anyhow safe, heavy rain starts, and then you fall deep into mud. The trench is filling with water, you beg for help but noone can help you. You're stuck, just crying and waiting for your slow and painful demise, as water level increases and it starts reaching your neck and is still going up. This is terrible.

[@cz1822]

The chorus repeating at the end got to me. Thousands of young men marching through the mud, living in despair, losing their lives in the trenches. Over and over and over and over and over again.

Passchendaele, where heavy rain, and the failure of an ancient drainage system, created one of the muddiest battles of the war. Men swallowed whole never to be seen again. Many bodies couldn't be recovered due to the mud taking them.

I never would have thought that Heavy Metal could be so emotional and touch me like that.

[@delighkj2888]

[@bairdrew]

I think this song, of all Sabaton's songs penned about the Great War, gets to the truth of the thing the most. Harrowing, awful, unremitting slaughter in a hopeless land with no escape. Every time i hear it i cry, because whilst the song is specifically about Paschendaele, the truth at the heart of it is the same regardless of the place during those horrible years. It could be Verdun, Brest Fortress, the elevenfold slaughters of Isonzo, the Kaisarschlacht and 100 Days, and dozens more such horrors besides, whether they be (relatively) small affairs between a few score men, or the butchery of whole nations of the young...the truth of this song is the same.

[@friedquiver4606]

I never experience any emotional reaction to songs, but this made me tear up. The anti-war genre is best when it combines the tragic deaths with a sense of pointlessness to it all, and that feeling is so well evoked in this song.

This song always make me think about the battle that happened in my hometown. In my hometown,at Predeal happend one of the most cruel battels on romanian teritory in WW1 similar to the battle in the song with one year before. For 7 days,the village and the surrounding area were bombed to force romanian army out of the woods. We repeled wave after wave of germans and austro-hungarians for another 2 weeks but the little border village fell after 40-50k deaths.The war ended.And our elders in an act of kindness burried all the people they could find, romanians but also germans,austrians,hungarians in one place without separation beacouse we all are humans.Forests grew back and green engoulfed the land once again. But the scars remaind and they are still visible to this day. Everywhere you look around,in forests,on hills the scars of shell holes and trenches are still visible. And the sad part is that nobody realise the pain and suffering that men endured.

In the comments on both sides, people are genuinely happy about the death of others. God, when is this going to end?
