========= Reign of Terror LYRICS ==========

The sky is on fire, burning black gold
Eyes of the west turn to east
Driven by greed and an urge to destroy
Merciless killing your own

Slave to the power, a slave to the gold
Ruthlessly ruling the east
Your reign of terror must come to an end
Fighting your unholy war

Now you will pay, we’ll charge you our way
Sooner or later we’ll get you
Don’t try to hide in your holes underground
Just like an insect we’ll smoke you right out

Night time primetime
Ancient legacy of crime
One day we will make you pay for

Night time primetime
Law and order pays the fine
Genocide you cannot justify

Chaos in east, disorder in west
Desert storm is a go
Fighters are launched from the carriers at sea
Infantry coming your way

Armoured brigades engaging their lines
Regain control of black gold
Your reign of terror will come to an end
Forcing you out of control

Countdown to death we’re coming for you
Making our way through the desert
Soon you will pay for the pain that you caused
Captured or dead you will cause no more harm

Feet after feet, mile after mile
Allies regaining control
Your cities in ruins a people in need
Still you go on as before

Feet after feet, mile after mile
Allies returning the land
Hide underground as the coward you are
One day we’re coming for you

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

The Gulf War began on August 2, 1990 and concluded on February 28, 1991 after 1,000 hours of war in the air and 100 hours of fighting on the ground. 35 nations, led by the USA, had defeated Iraq, which was armed with one of the largest armies on the planet.

I was in the U.S. Air Force at this time and loaded weapons on to jets for this operation. This is a song about something I was involved with. Gives you a strange feeling when it's about something you were involved with. Always thanks to Sabaton.

[thehawkkommandant]

while I wanna ask who just said placing random stuff down in Gmod is a good way to make a background for a music video I gotta say music goes hard as usual

[robwoolley]

As a veteran of desert shield and desert storm thankyou Sabaton for we get overlooked and ignored in favour of the 2nd Gulf War, sometimes feels like we are the forgotten war

[robertlewis]

Recently, I learned that the reason we went to war in Iraq was in order to provide material for a Sabaton song. Frankly, this makes perfect sense.

[NauticalAce]

Finally! This song rocks, and finally it got a official lyric video, thank you Sabaton!

[Wolfpackhunter]

I actually know a Navy Seal who fought here and a Polish sailor who was stationed here, I’m gonna try and get both of them to listen to this awesome song

[carlh]

One of my absolute favourites! The song just never slows down!

[coppergamemaster]

It’s always a good time when Sabaton uploads a song here. Keep up the good work!

[boneheap]

I wish they'd bring back the old thrashy aggression once in a while. Underrated song and album.

[delpoxi]

i love the aggressive feel this song gives off

[ShadesMF]

Out of all songs, i could never have predicted this one getting a music video!


Regardless, this is awesome 🔥

[Empiriarch]

Would be cool if Sabaton made these types of songs again in their next album!

[noobsaibot]

I swear this song NEEDS TO BE PLAYED LIVE. Literally one of your heavist songs yet

If you're looking forward to making more songs of the post-ww2 era you should definitely check the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Truly a complicated conflict with many incredible stories.

Like when a single Greek commando from Crete, Manolis Bilakis, repelled a Turkish tank company(at least 8 tanks but they probably had more)supported by a whole infantry battalion with just his PAO and 8 missiles for it. He had been separated from his comrade after an aerial strike who reported him dead. With no reinforcements coming and no way to come back to his unit he stayed in his position and faught the Turks. He destroyed 6 tanks with 6 shots and when the Turkish battalion supporting the tanks tried to retreat to a nearby house, Bikakis spotted them and attacked. With his remaining two missiles he caused hundreds of casualties and forced the rest to flee, thus preventing an incirclement of Nicosia(the capital)which the Turks were close to achieving. But he still was separated from his unit and now he was out of ammunition, so naturally he started walking around the island with an empty PAO for 4 days trying to find his unit. No one dared attack him. He came back to his unit and continued fighting until the end. The invasion as a whole wasn't repelled but it could have gone much worse without his contribution.

Unfortunately he wasn't awarded any military honors before his death but he was after he died. To this day he is a Greek military hero and has earned the nickname "the Greek rambo"

You know, I love sabaton even not for their songs in general, but for their themes and Joachim's voice. Overall the song is good and the lyric video just adds to the song's appeal, I love you and I hope that you will continue to release new hits that will be a pleasure to listen to, ❤.

[brandonarmienti]

It's always a good sign when Sabaton releases a new lyric video.
