========= We Burn LYRICS ==========

I’ve had a vision it’s clear to me now
I know what has to be done
Different religions cannot share a land
A plague and I have the cure

Chase them down, let them suffer in pain
Dig them down, they´ll be gone for a while
Evidence lost

We burn
Plunder and rape
Show them no mercy, just burn
Flesh turn to ash

Inspired by deeds that were done long ago
I know what has to be done
Filth of my land must be washed clean and pure
Now let the cleansing begin

Genocide?
Who will drag me to court?
There´s no crime if you do not get caught
I am the law. We burn

Privates, sergeants and generals hear
It’s our chance we’ve been waiting too long
Your orders are: to start to burn

========= Historic Fact ==========

The Srebrenica Massacre began on July 11, 1995. Over 8,000 Bosniak Muslim males between the ages of 12 and 77 were captured and brutally executed. This song was written from the perspective of Radovan Karadzic, the former President of The Republika Srpska, head of the Serbian Democratic Party and commander of the Bosnian Serb Army, from 1991-1995.

Oh boy, I do hope the comment section would be peaceful just like the Balkans!

[T-h-a-t_G-u-y]

I always thought they were saying “thunder and flame” and thought that sounded cool until I read the actual lyrics.

[a_balloon]

Definitely the darkest song Sabaton ever made

[ComradeKevin.]

"Inspired by deeds that were done long ago" is, if it does indeed mean what I think it means, the most chilling line (in my personal opinion) of the song.

[bkam]

"Inspired by deeds done long ago, " Is a line that always gives me chills.

[Stefan_Ethishan]

on god, they literally took the phrase "It's not a crime if you don't get caught" too seriously.

[inevitablejedi]

Lets go attero dominatus finally getting the attention it deserves

[grumpyforeigner]

This song is supposed to be aimed at Srebrenica but it literally just perfectly describes the mentality of every faction during that war

[Arraos]

@Sabaton - UNIT 731 - You're a good history teacher. Let the world know about UNIT 731.

[nuhhha]

As a Bosniak, I appreciate you guys so much for making this song. Nothing but love! <3

POV: You found the darker side of sabaton

[Checkmate]

Why is a song with a dark and horrible history written in such a way to sound cool and kick-ass?

[SevyS]

here it is, glad they gave one of their darker songs a good shiny new music video

[unclesev]

Babe, wake up, Sabaton posted a banger once again

[alansmithee]

I've listened to this song since years ago and the fact that I wasn't sure until today which country or which period of history it refers to is kind of depressing.

[JohnSmith-qews]

I think one of the most unsettling things about this song is that the guy who ordered the genocide, whose perspective this song is from, *is still alive.* Rotting in jail for his crimes, thank god.

[WeePinbell]

For a song about a terrible person, this song is so damn good 😭

[godofflames]

my dad was there with IFOR he told me they came across multiple mass graves but one he said hed never forget they found a entire village massacred with only 2 survivors a young boy and a old man the man had his skull caved in from a club and the boy escaped by running into the woods my dad set up a campaign to get the boy glasses and send him to the us for a education

[rafail]

I didn't know sabaton had a song set in the yugoslav wars

[alfiewilliams]

Back to the good type of lyric videos, nice.
