========= Midway LYRICS ==========

Send them over the waves
Our sentinels
They report in the news
Position of our foes

This battlefield’s been chosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters
We’re soon in range

Midway
We’ll meet at Midway
Naval War

Calling all men to deck
Got to be airborne
Head out into the sun
Descending on our foes

This is the crucial moment, in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves

Midway
Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war
We’ll meet at Midway
To win the fight, tactics are crucial, naval war

Far from shore, a pacific war
bombs are falling from the skies
It’s a bombrun day, it’s the naval way
A bloodred sun is on the rise

Far from shore, a pacific war
bombs are falling from the skies
It’s a bombrun day, it’s the naval way
A bloodred sun is on the rise

Midway
Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war
We’ll meet at Midway
To win the fight, tactics are crucial, naval war

Midway
Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war
We’ll meet at Midway
To win the fight, tactics are crucial, naval war

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

The Battle of Midway began on June 4, 1942. It marked a turning point in the Pacific Theatre of World War II and was fought almost entirely with aircraft. During this battle, the USA destroyed most of Japan’s aircraft carriers and eliminated its best trained naval pilots. It subsequently ended the threat of a Japanese invasion in the Pacific.

One reason why the Sabaton community is so positive is that there isn't anything to argue about.Everyone agrees that every song is the best one.

[niktheson]

The “We’ll meet at Midway” is so commanding. Like he’s saying “No, that isn’t a request. You WILL be there, and you’re gonna like it!”

[cannibalfish]

Hell yea. One of my favourite song. Wish there was more naval songs, they are always amazing with sabaton!

[Furydragonstormer]

Midway was basically the turning point that also was where Japan realized how futile in the end the war against America was going to be, their Kido Butai was shattered, four of six carriers were brought down in a ruthless counter attack. Kaga was pummeled to oblivion with so many bombs that they lost count how many were dropped on her, Akagi was sent up in flames by the mistake of Nagumo by a single bomb from Dick Best, Soryu was brought down low by aircraft by the crippled Yorktown, and Hiryu's pilots gave one last effort but ended up being brought down as well. A battle that was inspiring to America and moral crippling to Japan, several thousands lost in pretty much one battle. Pearl Harbour was avenged, four of its six assailants were defeated, at only the cost of Yorktown and Hammann.

[agniteyt]

This song was so awesome that the US NAVY named a Aircraft Carrier after it...

[SilentGamin]

Honestly, They never fail to impress everyone of their songs... I love it

[cbell_]

Three, two, one... GO!

FAR FROM SHORE A PACIFIC WAR
BOMBS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKIES
IT'S A BOMB RUN DAY IT'S A NAVAL WAY
A BLOOD RED SUN IS ON THE RISE

One of the best chorus of all time
Powerful like battle of Midway!

[dumbsharkyboii]

Why is this song so underrated? This got to be one of the best songs Sabaton ever made. Keep going on like this guys :D

[b-byrd]

I've been listening to Sabaton since I was 10. Been listening 6 years and Sabaton will always be my favorite band.

[chunchuenhui]

Sabaton has song about Bismarck, song about Dreadnought. Now I hope Sabaton can make a song about Enterprise, she deserves it

[gizmoandbackgaming]

Short, yet very satisfying to hear. Love this groups power behind the lyrics. Another great song. Keep them coming.

[BelleauWood]

One of my favorite Sabaton songs
Then again, most of their songs are my favorite songs
Great to see you guys making official lyric videos for your older songs!
Rock on Sabaton!

[WindowBreaker]

I recently got into Sabaton on February this year and I love most of not all of their songs. I haven’t listened to every song yet but I will do it

[ninaerikasangco]

I started listening to sabaton when i was 9 and it still makes good music

[nevertrustbob]

I hope one day Sabaton you immortalize Pearl Harbor. My grandfather was on Ford Island that infamous day 😢 he lost many friends that day.

[orbital]

The only problem I've ever had with this song, is that if it wasn't for the lyrics specifying that it's at Midway, the song could be about any naval battle with aircraft carriers. This song focuses much more on the fact that aircraft carriers are doing the fighting, along with the tactics and naval intelligence that goes along with them than what actually happened in the battle.
Keep up making the great music! Maybe you can make an album focusing on the Pacific Theater at some point, and if you do, I hope you come back to Midway and sing about some of the coincidences that led up to those fateful 5 minutes.

[Sabaton]

How many times have you watched the Midway lyric video?

[madisondean]

This one truly hit home for me. My great-grandfather on my Dad's side served in the Pacific Theatre of WW2. He was shot during battle, but lived to tell the tale of the Pacific and its many horrors. Although from what my dad has told me, my great-grandfather didn't really talk about it. Shockingly, this was the very battle during which my great-grandfather was shot.

Happy 80 years Midway anniversary. Greetings from 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷.

This song was the first time I heard from Sabaton. That was back in 2012. Ohh the memories of better times. I never forget, listening to some Iron Maiden on YT, when out of nowhere there is a suggestion about a song, called Midway, from someone called Sabaton. I'm just like, hum, did someone write a song about the Battle of Midway? That's cool, let's hear it, see if a like it... That right there, I can put on the list with the best decisions I did in my life, I became a fan right from that moment, and from that moment, it only got better, every time Sabaton does a new song, is like the definitions of epic have been successful update. So afther all this years seing this, is really good surprise. Keep up the good work, and thank you for all the awesome songs you guys gave us every time.
