Battlefield 5 OST - 'I Vow To Thee My Country'

beautiful rendition of English patriotic song

[lento]

The wound is healed, but the scar remains intact.
That's the war.

when you respawn, but the match is over, players go out from the server, and the only thing that remains is a peaceful's map, the memories of your team mates

_"If I should die, think only this of me:_
_That there’s some corner of a foreign field_
_That is for ever England."_

I still can't forget The Flight Of The Pigeon

[dastemplar]

A little girl walked up to an Old British Veteran, who had served from Dunkirk, 1940 to Holland, 1945, she asked him if he had to fight in the war again, would he do it? The Old Veteran smiled and replied in a gentle voice; “For you? Always.”

You can’t make this stuff up, we truly were blessed to have such beautiful souls guide our world through such dark and uncertain times.

[WendiGonerLH]

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell”

I did a little digging to find out who was singing near the end. Initially, I thought it was a girl, but it was actually done by a boy by the name of Lucas Rebato. He deserves more recognition.

(Flute)
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

(Vocal)
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
_We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;_
_Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;_
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
_And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace._

_Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn._
_At the going down of the sun and in the morning_
_We will remember them."_

Heard several versions of this. Might be the best one. Who says video games aren't art?

My great grandfather fought in ww2 in the german Wehrmacht in many battles including Stalingrad. He, his wife and son were hiding a jewish woman inside their House for the entirety of the war.

He was shattered by a grenade on the frontline and half his body was penetrated by Grenade fragments. Even tho he survived I never got the Chance to talk to him as he died before I was born.

BFV's funeral song after DICE just killed it officially.


R.I.P. Battlefield V.
You never stood a chance.

I had a great great grandfather who served in the U.S. Army during world war 2. Based off what my grandma told me, he was the sole reason why her and the rest of my family was able to come to America from the Philippines. He was deployed to the beaches of Normandy. He was supposedly killed there as they found his dog tag around the beach, but his body was never identified. He was declared M.I.A. The only way I remember him now is a picture of him and his dog tag in a frame.



He was a fighting Filipino. They will always fight for freedom.

Frodo:I can't do this Sam.
Sam:I know! It's all wrong, by rights we shouldn't even be here! But we are.

This is a British patriotic song. Lyrics to the parts that were sung:

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

The "country" refers to Heaven, the "King" refers to God. This song fits perfectly. As the soldiers fighting in the war died, they went the Heaven, hence the part about "soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase". Beautiful song.
