========= White Death LYRICS ==========
Almost night, a crimson horizon painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach from the east, a hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun wanders into the wild
Tracks you down, you cannot hide once he is on to your trail
Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun
You’re in the sniper’s sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
You’re in the bullet’s way, the White Death’s prey, say goodbye
After the dawn when morning has broken, snow once white turned to red
Blood red snow tells what happened last night, a tale of a sniper is born
Snow in mouth hiding his breath, he is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come
Hundreds of kills. a man and his rifle embody the sisu of finns
Stay out of sight and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you’re dead
You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
Hundreds will fall by his gun
You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
White death is coming for you

I wish there was a reasonable way for them to fix the official recording of 82nd All The Way. York joined the 328th, not 338th. Joakim says it properly in live performances, but to have a mistake immortalized like that is pretty heartbreaking.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

That's not dedication or diligence, it's self corrective. Dedication and diligence would have not made such a whopping error that you call small, but the comment sections went nuts over, so not so small. As the other guy said here, their self admission is easy to see. They are rockers first and foremost, not historians. Those in charge of the history and the art got a woodshed moment, and we are lucky enough they cared to fix it. However, let's be real, a re-upload means plenty of more views too. So in the end it works for them twice, and against once, so still a win.

Then again, he did reply when asked how he became so skilled in shooting by simply stating; "Practice." Just pick up a gun and get to it.

[@jannehietavirta9744]

Actualy i heard somewhere (some army vet I think) that ironsights are beter than scopes if you zero them in right, but if it's miscalibrated it shoots very badly. In the modern day we have scopes because they don't get too thrownoff in the back of a truck.

Simon Hayha was a small man, just a bit over five feet. A brave warrior, doesn't seem to have been much for hand to hand combat, but he was a beast for long range sniping. He was a farmer who honed his skill hunting animals to feed his family. When his country was threatened by the Russians, he stepped to the fore. From what I've read, he was a gentle man who took no pleasure in killing, but did what had to be done.

Simo Häyhä's commanding officer Aarne Juutilainen would in my opinion also deserve his own song. The guy was in the French Foreign Legion in the 1930's and gained the nickname of "The Terror of Morocco" in Winter War because of that. He commanded one of the most decorated units and housed Simo in his own command bunker. He was known as person who would not break and his men would have followed him to hell and back Simo included. His line would hold if not told to run as he himself had said. He also served in the Continuation and Lapland wars.

What a great homage to a great and good man. Simo's extraordinary feats with his rifle and woodsman's skills are legendary and true. He preferred iron sights so he could keep his head down. Sabaton, my rifle is 6.5x55!

[@intergalacticbobcat6185]

Interviewer: “What did you feel when you killed those soldiers?” Simo Hayha: “The recoil”

[@JillLulamoon]

Post war, Hayha lived on a farm where he liked to hunt moose and breed dogs. Apparently he didn't really like to talk about the war much and suffered from loneliness and fear attacks, especially at night. I wonder if he suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Even knowing you have to do it to protect Finland, taking 500+ lives must've been pretty affecting mentally.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

Most likely.

[@Historyfrek4ever]

He wasn’t a killer hunting prey, he was a man telling an invader to get off his woods. (He sadly lost his home due to cession of territory as a war reparations.)

[@PhanthomKnight9]

After I heard about Simo Häyhä he inspired me to become a military sniper.

[@Sabaton]

That's awesome! 🤘

I hope you will defend your home country with same honor and performance as Simo Häyhä did.

[@infuglenn]

@ Unless he is your enemy, then you hope you never cross his sights.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Perhaps Hayha's greatest achievement wasn't all the kills, but rather surviving until the age of 92 despite getting his face shattered by an enemy bullet. It's as if he was determined to live long enough to see the Soviet Union fall, so he could get his own personal victory over them even if his nation couldn't during the war.

[@ForceKnight345]

Actually, he died at the age of 96 not 92

[@erikbergstrom258]

This song is just something else, words cannot explain how proud I am to be a finn when I hear this song. Rest in peace Simo Häyhä, your story will live on for generations to come!

[@KGB_un_official]

Showed this to my friend because he didn't know who The White Death was and he made a game character with the same name. He made it the guy's theme. You have a new fan, now.

[@agent1018]

‘Snow in mouth, hiding his breath’ very accurate

[@redarogallo5154]

This remains one of my favourites. A good song about the deadliest sniper ever, and why finnish speaking snow is in the same league as vietnamese speaking trees.

[@kacperskodowski1125]

Glory to our Finnish brothers from Poland

[@egertroos-qh7hw]

Thanks from Estonia

[@nightowlrally]

I feel it's important to expand upon something because it's a word I recognize from the Finnish rally scene - there's a word they use to describe what a driver should have to be a good driver - SISU. I was told it simply meant "heart" or "courage." If anyone wants to know, the 1000 Lakes Rally had incredibly fast roads with lots of blind corners, crests, jumps, and so forth so a driver needed to have confidence (Sisu) to get the most out of their cars.

[@norwinagustin3944]

In Shuumatsu no Walkure Loki vs Simo, Loki will use deception while Simo Hayha will use misdirection... Two trickster clash in a great battle of ragnarok...Who will be the deciever and who will be decieved in this war...

[@DRIVEFROMHOME4K]

Another addictive hymn from Sabaton ❤ Glory to Simo and Finland's heroes ❤

[@Real_Mysticall]

My favorite sniper i got book about him called White Death. I like how he was sniping without scope but with iron sights he didnt used scope because it would give away his position he also ate snow to make his breath colder or something like that and Soviets were calling artilerry on him alot and they only managed to wound him once they wounded his jaw.

[@themanonthewall7029]

take comfort in that centuries from now people will still be telling tales about this guy.

[@aleahbrost9979]

when he was asked what he felt when he killed soviets he said ''the recoil'' truly the best response

[@SparkDragon42]

It makes me smile to see people react to lyrics video like this one as if it was a new song, I'm like "yeah, you just discovered this banger but I listen to it since a few years" and I don't really know why but I feel a bit proud of knowing them before some people ^^

[@CidVeldoril]

That does sound pretty hipster though "I liked it before it was cool!" :P

[@Ask4This]

hipster's have done nothing of their own to be proud of.

One tiny yet very impressive detail they've put in is the earlier Mosin M28 rifle he used did not have a hood over the front sight and also has a thinner grip than the later Finnish Mosins, the one pictured is as accurate as you could get, very good job guys

One of the most badass human beings to walk this Earth. RIP Simo

[@chipaguasustudios]

I didn't know if Sabaton already made a music about the "White Death", but I looked for it just for my curiosity and they just uploaded it today, what a coincidence!

[@chasetoyama8184]

“Made a music” lol Don’t worry, English is hard. And stupid (WHY do we have SO MANY WORDS for ONE THING?”

[@aaergplay6022]

As a Polish I adore Simo. For obvious reasons. Thanks to people like him, Finland is still Finland.

Same for us estonians

Simo Hayha will forever be the top sniper for me, no matter what records newer snipers made, nobody will ever replace Simo

[@Shadow.behind.mountains]

Yeah, I mean quite literally. He had no scope

[@wooblydooblygod3857]

He was probably the best sniper ever seen. Pega was a batter soldier though but couldn't snipe as well.

He lost half of the bones in his face after that round finally found him, but he woke up. But he woke up to his celebrating comrades, and knew he'd won.

[@SPARTAN_Cayde-26]

The fact he used a damn hunting rifle against the Soviets… Damn he was a true marksman! Suomi Perkele!

[@cameronnewton7053]

It is absolutely amazing that Sabaton would go through the effort of pulling down and re posting the video just to fix a minor error, but one important to the history, also from what I understand haya was hit with an illegal exploding Bullet and was thrown a pile of bodies, butt someone saw him twitching and pulled him out they did several surgeries to heal his jaw.

Simo Häyhä was born in my town Rautjärvi. All honor to the war veterans and their sacrifices. This is very good song.

[@alexdeere5990]

I have been listening to Sabaton since the fall of 2021, but I can safely say that this is my favorite band! I even learned the Night Witches song on the drums, and now I'm learning the Ghost Division song. Unfortunately "White Death" I heard just now, but I can say that it sounds great! Tack för din musik och hälsningar från Ryssland!

[@wigligigly3375]

My best mate is half Finnish. We always take the mick out of each other for our differing heritages. But I do make an effort to be genuine because Finland is nothing short of badass. They won a war against the Soviets, on skiis.

Sabaton: Proof that not only can you Rock Out,but get a Lesson in Military History at the same time!!!

[@caeruleum]

A year ago I needed to do a project with someone in my class. He introduced me to this kind of music and this band. I’m so grateful, I don’t think I can ever fully repay him.

My friend was reading a manga and it was like Gods vs Humans and one of the humans picked was Simo Häyhä, but they didn’t pick the unkillable soldier but Tesla made the list.

[@eddykidplayzyt]

Sabaton team, I’d like to congratulate you on being so popular. At first glance, metal music about history seems like it would be too niche to succeed. But you absolute legends pulled it off! You make absolutely incredible songs and I’m glad you’re getting the support you deserve. Hats off to you, sabaton!

[@Sabaton]

Thank you very much for your message!

[@remekesbr5204]

​@@jokerknarkernApolo is not possible now, i think anubis, odin or even Loki, but i don't know haha

[@darkensama1390]

Probably Anubis. "GOD OF DEATH". Desert VS Snow. Egypt VS Scandinavia. Beast VS Hunter. Loud VS Mute. And probably will be round 11 as Anubis is waiting to fight, and Simo Hayha would be the best option. But the Ring has to be changed to match Simo's abilities. Probably a Wintry Finish Forest with lot of places to Simo to be hid or to anubis to move around. And probably Simo will have a "finisher" similar and how he defeated Stalin's most deadly Sniper "Vasily" and he will be in the crowd.

[@sephtis]

Fun fact, Simo Häyhä had as many kills with his Suomi KP/-31 smg as he did with his rifle, so he was also devastating when out with his squad, not just as a sniper

[@jaredf5000]

The book about him is great, very repetitive, but still very cool to read actual interviews conducted by the author, makes you feel like you met simo. And lots of pictures of the lad. I have alot of respect for simo.
