======== Swedish Pagans LYRICS =======

The wise woman said:
“Once you’re hardened in battle
There’s no coming back.
Fight or Fall!”

And before the attack
Feel your blood start to boil in your veins as you charge
Hundreds fallen

As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls

Swedish Pagans, marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again!

Where our brothers have fought
Is where we will be proven
On ground stained by blood
Standing tall!

And we know, if we fall
Our comrades awaits in Valhall
Odin’s calling!

As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls

Swedish Pagans, marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again!

First to the battle
First to the feast
Destiny waiting,
No retreat,
Retreat!

Swedish Pagans, marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again!

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

Vikings were the seafaring Norse people from southern Scandinavia (present-day Denmark, Norway and Sweden) who from the late 8th to late 11th centuries raided, pirated, traded and settled throughout parts of Europe, and explored westward to Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland. In the countries they raided and settled, the period is known as the Viking Age, and the term 'Viking' also commonly includes the inhabitants of the Norse homelands. The Vikings had a profound impact on the early medieval history of Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Estonia, Kievan Rus' and Sicily.

Joakim: “I don’t want to sing Swedish Pagans”
Everyone else: oooOOOoooOOOoo!!!

[shyasaturtle]

When Sabaton plays Swedish Pagans not as a joke: *ODIN IS WITH US!*

[krthecarguy]

Hold up, a Swedish Pagans performance that wasn't a joke from band members?! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!!

[darthhaider]

Funfact: on World Wide Wacken Joakim and Tommy made an agreement that whoever empties a glass of beer (they called it "noch ein Bier") faster can decide what song they play next. Tommy won and they played this, obviously.

[jwhbos]

Crowd: oooOOWAAAooo
Sabaton: NO!
Crowd: oooOOWAAAooo
Sabaton: NO!
Sabaton: *ARE YOU READY FOR SWEDISH PAGANS?!*

[potatopcz]

First time that I saw Joakim be happy to sing Swedish pagans

[colinplante]

I wonder if they actually put it on the set list or were bullied into playing by the crowd like they usually do lmao

[ibbi]

When you are so fast that assassin's Creed Valhalla isn't out yet
Britian: *laugh in non burning church*

[TheMmus]

I was kinda hoping Joakim would have had the hammer of Thor to bash his knee with. Oh well, you can't have everything, but at least we got the Swedish Pagans at last!

[bloxpizza]

That melody will never leave my head.
Also is there gonna be a sabaton history on Swedish Pagans?

[metalheadmaniac]

The Sabaton Profecy said that one day we would get swedish pagans
that day is finally here

[gravewalker]

God please yes this is by far one of their best songs

[ferowaw]

0:50 Joakim doing this dance is the most precious thing

[demowons]

On a balcony in a quiet finnish neighbourhood, I'm sitting with a bowl of mozzarella sticks and chili sauce, listening to this. I love being home alone.

[RedditzGG]

Joakim: Not Again. . .

Pär, Tommy and Everybody else: Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

[maxos-]

Missed an opportunity to post Uprising on August 1st. The day when The Warsaw Uprising begun

[isdrevenge]

I think I've watched every single song in their Great Tour playlist but I've never heard the crowd sing so loud !

Pure eargasm

[phremg]

Joakim: yes we’re gonna sing Swedish Pagans
Tommy, who has been waiting for this for so long, crying:

[mikewhicker]

Hope everyone's staying safe and as sane as possible.
Also, I hope the polish sabaton fans were still able to commemorate the events that took place on this day 76 years ago!

I am a native hispanic, but someday, I will learn the Swedish language, go to Sweden, and sing these hymns at the top of my lungs, in that great language, in that great country.
