========= In Flanders Fields LYRICS =========

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

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

Known for his poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’, John McCrae was a military doctor and a Major of the 1st Brigade of Canadian Field Artillery. He wrote the poem after witnessing the death of a close friend.

"Sabaton is rock, its badass!"

"In Flanders

*Loud sobbing and wailing*

[russianbear]

Remember the 20 million who lost their lives.

Remember the generation that was lost to the world.

Remember the 65 million men who fought the war that ended nothing.

Remember that in war, there is no glory, only young boys resting side by side.

Remember them, and never forget.

[antagonist]

I can watch realistic depictions of cruelty that actually happened during wartime in film without blinking twice, but listening to this poem has me fighting back tears for minutes afterwards.

[evanmiller]

We’re learning about WWI in AP World History and everyone thinks it’s weird I have this poem memorized

[ChaosZer]

Get this played in my school this November

[PhilipFry.]

A true Soldier doesnt fight because he hates whats in Front of him, he fights because he loves whats behind him.

[TheWhenTheWhenItheWhen]

Sabbaton: sings a badass song about the pride of the kriegzmarine

Also sabaton:

[heroofsparta]

They shall not grow old. Least we forget friends the Brave Young Man that Gave their lives to a war that was in fact a tragedy without numbers and sides.

We had to sing this song in 2nd grade for Veterans Day. We didn’t understand the weight it carried, or the meaning of it, but it still struck a nerve with me

[HonestBob_]

STANDING IN THE LINE OF FIRE!!!

Oh wait, this isn't the future of warfare...

"If ye break faith with us who die..."

*Starts sobbing*

[nobodysman]

"They shall not grow old, as we grow old
Age shall weary them, nor the years condemn
We Will Remember them, we will remember them.
Lest We forget."
The Ode, often recited at The Last Call at Meinen Gate in Ypres, Belgium

[makeromaniagreatagain]

This song is about history, so I wonder how long it will take YouTube to demonize it

[zachearwood]

“Metal is the devils music!”

Sabaton: In Flanders Fields...

Me and everyone in the comment section: *LOUD SOBBING AND SCREAMING*

[banzeyegaming]

Everyone: Pff, Sabaton making sad songs? Right, and Canada has a great army.

Canadian poets and Sabaton: *Allow us to introduce ourselves.*

[OrdoBarabas]

103 years ago today, the guns had finally fell silent. many wouldn't get to see this day Including my great grandfather, he would die just a few weeks before, still wondering in his journals if the boy from Bristol he met during the christmas truce was faring well. Lest We Forget.

[L.J.Kommer]

This is just a choir singing John McCrae's famous poem, and decidedly not metal; but it is also my favorite song on this amazing album.

[insertcoolnamehere]

I'm from Belgium, (Flanders).

And most people still honor the losses of ww1. But it's slowly going away.

But Ypres is still doing it.
Every 8 pm, they play 'the last post' on trumpet. No matter what weather.

They continued it in ww2 but had to stop since Germany had taken Ypres. But the day they got it back. They started again.

And in my own family there's a little tradition. To find a blooming flower and place it in a vase. Every 11 November.

That tradition came because a German soldier died because he protected my great-great- grandmother.

She putted the flower in a vase to honor him, and it later became to honor evryone who died in the war.

Me: The dislikes are the people who cried till they can't see the screen and wanted to press the like button but accidentally press the dislike button.

Also me: ok who tf dislike this video.

[evad.]

I'm getting lots of weird looks because of my remembrance tattoo. "Why?" Cause it's the least what I could do. Dedicate a silent memory everyday. They did sacrifice more than a piece of skin. I was really moved how respectful version of this poem did my favorite band made. Thank you! 💙💛
