========= Counterstrike LYRICS ==========

Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king race to win
Afterburners roaring

Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise

Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven

Jordan attacks
Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem

Drive back, surprise attack
Take the western wall
Next day make them pay
Over river Jordan

Syria last in line
Head for Golan Heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling

Syria attacks
Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling the Golan Heights

Six days of fire, one day of rest
June 67′
Taught them respect
Control Jerusalem

Three nations fallen in six days of war
Traitorous neighbours
Received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
One nation standing stronger than before

First into Egypt and sent them to hell
Then turned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains, where Syria awaits
Break them in hours
Protect holy land

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

Already fragile peace in the Middle East was broken when Egypt closed a major shipping canal to Israeli vessels. Israel declared war, launching pre-emptive airstrikes. Jordan and Syria intervened, but all three nations were defeated, losing 20,000 troops.

I think this song is going to have a new wave of popularity.

[adham]

as an egyptian this hits harder than the airstrikes

[zubbec]

0% drugs
0% nudity
100% control of the Jerusalem

[marekegert]

Sabaton guys have balls, to keep the comment section open..

[potato]

Egypt: *Stops access into shipping canal for Israeli vessels*

Israel: *Stops 3 countries' militaries from existing*

[LG_Official.]

Comments from 3 months ago: Man this song is so good.
Comments 1 month later: So who's ready for part 2!?

[MortalinaMortifera]

“SIX DAYS OF FIRE! ONE DAY OF REST! TAUGHT THEM RESPECT! CONTROL JERUSALEM!” Such a badass line

[czerwony]

never ask a woman her age
a man his salary
an egyptian where their air force went

[Bruno-G]

A few decades later, history repeats itself

[Aleyander]

Yesterday Ismail Haniyeh got his personal counterstrike for october 7.

[Strettger]

Hamas : "Why do I hear Boss music?"

[BelleauWood]

Me and my best friend love blasting Sabaton songs literally anywhere we can. In class? Sabaton. Playing War Thunder? Sabaton. Exploring an abandoned house? Sabaton. Going 80 down the highway? Sabaton!!!

[radio-tprh]

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO TEACH YOU RESPECT OLD MAN?

[GhostOfDamned]

Sabaton always delivers, who wants a boring history teacher anyway?

[hirschmeistr]

“6 days of fire, one day of rest”

I love random Biblical/Torah references

[qu_gnsnifflesss]

This song is becoming more relevant, but not because of it being a banger

[fst]

Glad to see I’m not the only one making a return to this song

[yustesu]

Don’t start a war if you don’t want a Counterstrike. Still relevant.

[TheCombatEditor]

Oh my gosh, how have I not heard this song until now?
I absolutely love the biblical undertone of "six days of fire, one day of rest!"

[mendyleitner]

As an Israeli Jew and huge metal fan, with family that fought in the six day war, I'd just like to express my thanks to Sabaton for all this song has done to help spread the incredible story behind one of Israels most fascinating struggles
