========= The End of the War to End All Wars LYRICS =========
Death, hard to ignore
One million lost five months into the war
Pain, fell one by one
Three years remained, it had only begun
Unable to restore
A map redrawn
Unlike what came before
The future of warfare has dawned
Do, what must be done
Send off your son, life cut short by a gun
Gas, cover the fields
Gone with the wind, reveal lethal ideals
And as the end draws near
November dawn
With losses so severe
Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn
Great war enter
Front and centre
Grand endeavour
Lost forever
November 11th settling the score
From 15 to 20 million
Almost half of the dead civilian
A new world will dawn from empires fallen
The end of the war to end war
========= Historic Fact ==========
The First World War ended on November 11, 1918. This bloody global conflict resulted in the death of approximately 9,722,000 soldiers and from 6-13 million civilians.

That choir always hits me like a ton of bricks. Being a Canadian, the first world war was always something I grew up knowing about, especially considering my father and older brother are huge military history nerds. But that choir...I had never known what people meant by "goosebumps" until I heard that for the first time. Discovering this album, I was intrigued by the historical anecdotes found in the lyric videos. And so, I went through them all. I was not ready. Every time I listen to it, I tear up at the choir. I don't break down and cry, but...it really put things into perspective for me. It's more than a number. They were people.

[@lilmallison2531]

If you haven't had a good cry recently and want one I advise you watch apocalypse, a documentary made for the 100 years of the most thouroughly pointless blood bath in history that has one tiny difference to most documentary : they use image filmed by cameraman of ww1 and only added sounds and colors to those images. I've watched it and it's heartwrenching because you know it's not make up, cgi or mannequins that you see.

[@JohnSmith-fj2yd]

The 20th century was very crazy. The end of many empires, rise and fall of very extreme ideologies such as fascism and for the most part communism. What did it cost?

The family crest is three red rosters on a yellow shield symbolizing the reckless loyalty and stubbornness in attacks. In the Great War, my great great grandfather was a sturmtruppen in the kaiserschlacht. He died from rifle fire a mere three days before the truce and end of the war. My great grandfather served in the German army during the second world war, my grandpa served western Germany during the cold war, and my father the US navy.

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

I like when songs feature a degree of interconnectedness within albums. Like how some of Greenday's American Idiot album had lyrics that referenced some of its other songs. Obviously in this case, because WWI was such a massive nigh-all-consuming conflict, some of the general subjects resurface when mentioning the Great War in this song. But I feel like that just helps hammer home how utterly and hopelessly *nightmarish* this war truly was. When the nature of this song, really, truly sunk in it came out of nowhere. I had listened to this song like 50 times before, but today, I suddenly started getting choked up partway through without knowing why. Then I started getting teary-eyed, and by the end I was without hyperbole crying harder than I had in *years* (with the only other time coming close being, fittingly, rewatching a playthrough of Valiant Hearts: The Great War to the end again) because the emotion of the song just hit me like damn train: The song is about the end of the war and reflecting on all that had lead up to its end, but the callbacks to other songs help to remind us of all the smaller, more intimate stories of horror in the war. Letting us see the macro scale suffering of the war but with the added _context_ of the micro. The choir and symphonic elements of the song convey a grand sense of scale, but at the same time are reminiscent of one of the lines in "Great War": "Where is this greatness I've been told?! This is the lies that we've been sold!" Which itself was a reference to how prior to WWI war was seen as a Spec Ops: The Line-esque chance for adventure and glory to be seized only rip away those notions out from under them. That grandiose tone fits the scale of the conflict, yet also has an irony to it; that for all the talk of glory that might have preceded the war, the true "accomplishment" was how tremendously widespread the bloodshed and misery the war wrought, yet ultimately solved absolutely *nothing.* The songs "referenced" by this, "The Future of Warfare", "Attack of the Dead Men" (The lines about gas), and "Great War" felt like little callbacks leading up to the gut-punch. The struggles of an individual or small group of soldiers gives us a micro perspective that shows us how the average person was pulled in by the war's previously unmatched scale. How there was almost no nation on Earth unaffected by it in some way, and how nearly every person who fought was irreversibly changed, or consumed by it entirely. But contrasted against that final tally of "15 to 20 million" it's no longer just a statistic. It's millions upon millions of *individual* stories of people sucked into this maelstrom of war, disease, famine, and death. Millions meeting their unceremonious end drowning in mud, at the hands of a distant sniper, or a slow agonizing death alone in No Man's Land following a failed charge into machinegun fire. Millions of people left with no choice but to fight and die in a war they didn't want. Waring for control over territory so scarred and ravaged by artillery shells that once-fertile forests gave way to horizons populated by nothing but the dead they would soon join and the skeletons of trees. With "almost half of the dead civilian[s]" who didn't even fight but lost their lives _anyway._ The other thing that makes it so overwhelming is the fact that those are just the people who _died._ 10s of millions *more* had to face the ravages of war and then *live* with it until the day they died. With the distinct possibility of having to do so *alone* since the deaths of their friends and family via the Spanish Flu was very much possible given that it was _also_ killing humanity en mass at the time. Even as we reel from the deaths, economic downturn, and crowding of hospitals wrought by Covid-19 today? It looks like the *Common Cold* compared to how devastating and deadly the Spanish Flu was at its peak. And the final twist in the knife to humanity was that name that was eventually tied to it: "The War to End All Wars." The idea that the war was so terrible, cruel, destructive, and ultimately amounted to nothing but a senseless loss of life that humanity would never bring about such senseless death again... yet did so with even greater malice and efficiency than before.

As a historian. I thank you for typing this.

[@tyrtex5108]

As a soon-to-be-sailor, I thank you for typing this. There are no glories to be had at sea, nor glories to be had *anywhere* ashore anyway during any war. Whether it be on my deathbed 80 years hence, or 20 days forward, I will always remember the Great War. *We must remember.* There's no choice in the matter, no sense of duty, nor insipid and arbitrary tie to human history demanding we do so. Should the war be forgotten, be it at the hands of an increasingly WWII-focused curriculum or the onslaught of history-rewriters, we won't remember the sacrifices of so many for what ultimately amounts to so little in historical reflection. Can we even count them? *Can we even count the dead?* For the World Wars, I cannot find an answer that fits within the little box lined out for me by my history books and surface research. You call them statistics because that is what they've become, *statistics.* Numbers subject to opinion and bias and change and never quite concrete. Blood help us all.

[@Joghurt2499]

@@tyrtex5108 I am a physics student, so numbers are just what I do. Numbers carry a lot of meaning and no meaning at all. Like, we all know that light speed is incredibly fast but it doesn't really carry any meaning for me besides being a number. Our brains aren't really meant to grasp numbers bigger than... 20? maybe 50? You don't ever really _have_ more than 50 of something without wrapping it up in some way (you can have 10.000 grains of rice but at that point you don't say "10.000 grains of rice" anymore). It is incredibly hard to give meaning to numbers. Hence the saying "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic". I love this song. Because it wraps the abhorrent numbers up in a way that I can grasp. Art is important. Art is what gives meaning and weight to the beauty and the horror of life that pure statistical analysis can't. Art can bridge so many different kinds of gaps, be it cultural or be it in our understanding of things that are almost impossible to grasp in any other way.

[@ottoleois9323]

And adding upon all this, in tying in to the modern era, is the fact that this SOLVED *NOTHING*! As hindsight knows, it took only *twenty years* for a second war like this to erupt, on a MUCH GREATER scale and with even greater losses of life, thus nullifying the given moniker. Imagine the horror of not only serving in the first war only to end up not only facing something *EVEN WORSE* on the same scale, but to have your own children suffer along with you, maybe even dying because of the mistakes that you had experienced!!! And only now are we seeing such a renaissance in entertainment works based in the period. With many, if not all, of those who had personally experienced this tragedy dead, only now are we returning to fully understand the consequences and horrors because the actions of the second were in prime focus of our society for decades! We must never forget this tragedy, for everyone should know what becomes of it.

@@Cassius4 Hmm yes but the kaiser went on vacation right after, that's not really something you do if you expect a war to be honest, and the whole Balkan region was as Bismarck said, "a powder keg" (I think it was him who said it) And if your monarch in that time was just shot dead I'd think most people would want some sort of retribution, granted Austria's ultimatum was kind of impossible to agree on for Serbia. France wanted territory back, Italy wanted territory too, which is why they joined the Axis in world war 2 due to them feeling like they got left out of their promises. It was just a thing that spiraled out of control. Germany invaded Belgium to walk around the French defensive lines, which granted, was a good idea on paper, and it did almost work. The idea was to knock out France before Britan could send troops. because then it wouldn't matter too much if Britan declared war, as they would most likely sue for peace if they were fighting alone in world war 1. Back then they didn't have the tech to make a D-day landing, and if France was defeated, the Germans wouldn't really need to sink American convoys most likely, like France, like Germany is fertile land and it would make it a lot harder for Britan to blockade Germany.
