Sabaton | Inmate 4859 | Lyrics

Показать описание

I do not own this song, only the lyric video.

Lyrics:
The dawn of century, a boy born by a lake
Resettled from Karelia’s plains
Grown to a man in exile as the great war came
Unleashed it’s shadow on his world

Oh, no
Oh, no
Who knows his name?

Inmate in hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?

Outside help never came, decided to break free
The end of april -43,
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank
Takes command all while serving his country in need.

Sent to a prison, where the heroes are judged as traitors
Accused of treason by his own
Sentenced by countrymen under pressure of foreign influence
Men he once fought to free

Oh, no
Oh, no
We know his name!

Inmate in hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, we know his name!
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, he hides behind 4859!

White eagle
Blood of Heroes
In Heaven

Forever
Rest in Heaven
Our True Hero

Witold Pilecki of the Leliwa coat of arms "Witold", "Druh"; underground names "Roman Jezierski", "Tomasz Serafiński", "Leon Bryjak", "Jan Uznański", "Witold Smoliński"; codenamed T-IV (born May 13, 1901 in Ołońiec, died May 25, 1948 in Warsaw) - cavalry captain of the Polish Army, co-founder of the Secret Polish Army, soldier of the Home Army, prisoner and organizer of the resistance movement in KL Auschwitz. Author of reports on the Holocaust, so-called Pilecki reports. Accused and sentenced by the communist authorities of the People's Poland to death, executed in 1948. The judgment was annulled in 1990. Posthumously, in 2006 he received the Order of the White Eagle, and in 2013 he was promoted to the rank of colonel. In 1943–1944 he served in the branch of III Kedyw of the Home Army KG (among others as the deputy commander of the 'Chameleon' - 'Jeż' Information and Intelligence Brigade), he took part in the Warsaw Uprising. Initially, he fought as a regular gunner in the NSZ "Warszawianka" company, later he commanded one of the Chrobry II group's units, in Witold's Redoubt (former headquarters of the Rzeczpospolita editorial office.) In 1944–1945 he was in German captivity in Stalag 344 Lamsdorf (Polish: Łambinowice), of VII A in Murnau. He was probably detained on May 8, 1947 by the communist security service of People's Poland. In detention he was tortured by officers of the Security Office, including by one of the cruelest investigators Eugeniusz Chimczak. On March 15, 1948, the captain was sentenced to death. In the second instance, on May 3, 1948, the Supreme Military Court upheld this sentence. The sentence was carried out on May 25 in Mokotow prison on Rakowiecka, by a shot in the back of the head. The executor of the judgment was Piotr Śmietański called "Executioner from Mokotów".

After the exhumations and examinations carried out in 2012, the burial place was not established, although it is suspected that it was the headquarters on the Meadow, where secret victims of UB were secretly hidden so that the memory in Poland would be lost after them. An alternative place to hide the corpse may be the prison area at ul. Rakowiecka in Warsaw.

I love how the lyrics change from "Who knows his name" to "We know his name" at the end of the song. Cool touch

Read the book about him, Volunteer, it is a horrifying account of what he did and what he went through, I couldn't put it down

Cannot remember where but there's a statue of this incredible man in...I want to say Krakow but it might have been warsaw (visited both on holiday and keep getting the two mixed up!) I was fascinated by his story so I looked him up...which lead me to this song! Thanks for the lyrics man!

An idea for a music video of this is him sitting in a cell drawing layouts of the prison. A German officer drops a key his face concealed by darkness it then cuts to him escaping through the sewer system and delivering the drawing of auschwitz to the allies who kill him by firing squad it zooms in and out of his eye showing he was the German officer (in angel form) who dropped the key. It sounds stupid but it would be a cool music video for this
