      I always love when I see non-swedish speakers hearing the song with the translated lyrics. I'd say its about 98% correct (there are some things I'd have translated differently) because the lyrics hit so hard in that it tells such a deep story.

      @@cuffzter I agree, although I'd give a bit lower percentage since I think there's both some relatively bad translations in terms of meaning, and some other things could be phrased better in English to capture the feel of how the Swedish lyrics are written. The translation is not of the same quality as the band's English lyrics but it should still be a very enjoyable experience for those relying on the translation.

      I hope you get a chance to see this as it looks like my earlier comment was lost. But I wanted to make a recommendation for a reaction that I think you could love, especially as a Rammstein fan. I wanted to request a reaction to the song "Ohne Dich" (without you) by Rammstein off their albums Reise Reise and Made In Germany. These are technically two different versions of the song and both versions are absolutely beautiful. The live in Paris version is stunning as well. It's a much softer ballad and really shows off Rammsteins gentler side. It's a song packed with emotion and heart, which I think you may appreciate. Thank you for the consideration and take care.

    The set is from their "Great War Tour". The album was called "The Great War", which was inspired by the end of "the war to end all wars", WWI. That is why the sandbags and barbed wire.
    "En Livtid i Krig" is, as some have commended down below, about the thirty years war (1618-1648) in Germany, where, VERY basically(!!!), the catholic south (and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE)) fought the protestant north. Different rulers from different countries where supporting the different factions ... Not ALWAYS logically, i.e. catholic France were supporting the protestant north, because France didn't want the HRE to become TOO powerful ... Gotta love politics, right?
    This is also why Denmark became involved (Hey, can't say no to being the "Protector of the Protestant Faith", right!) ... Which ended up with a costing A LOT of money, lives and defeat! Sweden took over as "protector", and this song is about the common Swedish soldier in this struggle to survive and (HOPEFULLY!) get to see his home again ...

    This song is about the Thirty Years' War that dominated central Europe in the 17th century (1618-1648). To this day it is one of the longest and bloodiest wars in history, with the death toll falling between 4 million and 8 million. Many of the fatalities were not even from active warfare, but famine and disease also plagued the area, upping the casualties that much more. Casualties reached such a high number that many Swedish men were forced to fight when they had barely reached manhood, and sometimes even before then. Which really makes the title of the song ("A Lifetime of War" in English) hit a little harder. Men basically spent their entire lives at war, no chance for a peaceful life.
    The was about the battle between Catholics and Protestants, and at some point during the war almost every major player/Country in Europe was a part of it.
    This Swedish version of the song tells the story from a Swedish soldier's point of view. You should also check out the English version; it is not a direct translation from the Swedish, but it rather tells the story of the war from the perspective of the outside people, those not involved directly in the war but were affected by it.
    The lyrics hits hard, but it also shows that even when times change, new technology comes, one thing remains constant and that is the horrors of the war, both those who fall in it and those who survive and have to live with nightmare every day (ptsd)

      It should be added that while many swedish villages were almost emptied of men of adult age, Sweden "only" participated for 17 out of 30 years, so it was not as devastating for the population as it was for what today is Germany, the Czech republic and Austria who suffered through all 30 years of war and suffered worse than during WW2.

      @@lavrentivs9891 I cannot remember where I read this from so take this with a large pinch of salt. In Finland (back then part of Sweden) some of the large estates were tasked with equiping cavalry for the Swedish army. Later during the war there was a joke if they could just kill the man back in Finland and save the trouble of transporting him all the way to the Swedish army and spare the horse and equipment.

      @@VompoVompatti Yeah, a majority of swedish (meaning everyone living in the kingdom of Sweden at the time) soldiers died of disease before ever seeing battle. Interestingly it was recognised as a problem and after the initial years of fighting swedish troops were often used for garrison duties, with only a core brigade of swedish soldiers remaining in the main army.
      Scottish and primarily german mercenaries were the bulk of the swedish armies, in part because they had a greater resiliance to continental diseases but also because there were so many more of them than the scarcly populated kingdom of Sweden. For comparison, the largest city in Sweden was Riga^^

    I was there with some friends and family, standing somewhere in the front-middle part of the crowd singing my heart out while bucketloads of tears streamed down my face.
    This song hits hard, and for 3 separate reasons for me;
    Firstly it's the song's topic - a Swedish soldier during the 30-years war in Europe. Some of the soldiers fighting never knew anything else than a state of war on the continent, so "En Livstid i Krig" (transl. "A Lifetime at War") really makes sense. And the lyrics just gets you, not even halfway through the first sentence with thousands of people around you singing with every fibre of their bodies, simply amazing.
    Secondly, on the backdop on stage, a movie rolled with so incredibly beautiful imagery from the Swedish countryside, forests, lakes, picturesque houses, cities etc. Just the illustration of "home", which young soldiers left behind, never to come back and experience again. It's just heartbreaking, just writing this makes me almost start crying again.
    Thirdly, and most personally, my best friend while growing up was a huge Sabaton fan as well, and while working as a seaman he was killed in a workplace accident, and this song was supposed to be played on his funeral. The church didn't like that however, so it was first on the playlist during the come-together afterwards instead.
    It took several years for me to actively start to listen to this song again, I just couldn't bear it, this is also due to the quite astonishing coincident that at the same time I got the call from his mother breaking the news, this exact song was playing in my car.
    Also, as some other people mentioned this was on Valentine's Day 2020, just a week or two before the pandemic hit Sweden as well, so it was kinda lucky we were able to enjoy this concert together.

      The English language has kept much from old Norse. The word order is almost always identical between English and Swedish. Many of the old words used during the time of the viking invasion of England are still similar to this day. For example: Stone->Sten, Saw->Såg, Hammer->Hammare, Cow->Ko, etc etc. Swedish is therefore classified among the easiest languages for a native english speaker to learn. The pronounciation might be challenging but the word structure is identical and many words are incredible similar to their english counterpart.

    Your reaction was heart felt and understandable. As you probably know by now from the other comments this song has to do with the 30-year war that Sweden fought. Virtually every person in that audience has an ancestor who fought in that war. So the fact that they could all sing the first verse so powerfully and could have probably sung the rest of the song is not a surprise. Sabaton has made this song the second Swedish national anthem! Please continue to bring more Sabaton to us.

It's kind of telling that Sabaton cares more about their audience than showing off themselves by the angle of the camera, I've never seen another band having the cameras on the audience insted of on themselves. Oh and a tip for your next song, one which I see that you seem to have missed but is a fabolous story and that's "No bullets fly" - animated story. You're going to love that one, I promise you, that story is heart-warming on a whole other level.

    I am a german veteran, and this song just breaks me in pieces and comfort me in the same time. The way they tell their story is pure art and is pretty close to a perfect song in my opinion. Every time i listen to this song, especially this video wich has a even bigger impact with this unbeliveable crowd, i am moved to tears but feel some joy also. Sabaton is a awesome band! Price of a mile is a very powerful song aswell, but this, en livstid i krig, is by far the best in every way. Beautiful reaction - i love it when the "reactor" shows genuine emotions. Sorry for my bad english - my native languages are german and french. Greetings from nothern germany! Keep this videos going!

    I was one of the many men, women and children who sang along to my dear Sweden's wonderful band Sabaton that day. TODAY when I watch this video over and over it is incredibly emotional.
    My father fought in Iraq, Bosnia, etc., and grandfather World War II, etc., who fought voluntarily for freedom in other countries all over the world.
    I made the same decision and did military service for a time and now as a 46 year ex soldier I do not hesitate to protect our planet from the men of evil. This song is multinational, all countries in this world can recognize themselves from their countries history

    The Carolus Rex album was made both in swedish and english, and the songs are sometimes a bit different in the different languages.
    En livstid i krig/A lifetime of war is one of them, where the perspective of the 30-years war in the swedish version is a soldier in the swedish forces, and the english version is from the perspective of a neutral (or at least not actively participating) observer.

    The setup on stage is their style. They sings about wars/battles, so they bring out some of it with them on stage, barbwire, sandbags, cannons (tank for drummer).
    Joakim is patriot for Sweden and Czechoslovakia, he is proud to be part of these countries and love to sing for/about them.
    One album (i dont know if i am correct with that, maybe there are more albums) is in swedish AND in english.

      You are correct. So far only 1 of their albums has both an English and Swedish version. It's called Carolus Rex and is based on the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire during the 17th and early 18th century.

    Hey Aileen! I was on their Great Tour Show in Germany on January 2020 just before the the covid crisis.
    What should I say? If their songs touch you, you really need to see them live. The joy and Energy Sabaton delivers to the crowd is outstanding and incomparable. They are smiling every second, make fun and jokes and in my opinion they sound live even better than on record.
    All in all, it was the best concert experience I've ever had. Even if they would perform on an empty stage they would be still awesome.
    Would be awesome if you would react to my favourite Song "Night Witches". The story is awesome and there is an official animated story video which explains the background story before and after the song.
    One recommendation from me: if you have reacted to a official video you need to check out the live. You don't necessarily have to react to it, just watch it by yourself, but you really need to watch them.
    Like this live video they released a live video for every song on their Great Tour set list. Each on a different location of their tour and each from the angle of the band like in this one.
    Many text now, I hope you have time to read this. I just always get so passionate by talking about sabaton 🙈

    This is one of the coolest performance from Sabaton just because it's in Swedish in Sweden for and with Swedish people. They are so awesome live band and their stage sets are on point! The tank belonged to their set in the whole tour. I'm not sure if it's still in their on going set but I've seen many videos from different places and different countries where that stage set has been on.
    I really would like to see them live someday! I think they are coming here next year so if it's financially possible I will be thinking about it but at this moment I'm not able to get the tickets yet.

    The English words to the song include "has man gone insane?" (the English version of the song from their Album Carolus Rex is more generalized, while the Swedish version speaks more to the 30 years war that they were a part of.) Also, the props were part of their "Great War Tour" I think it's called "The Great Tour" which was their last tour before the pandemic.
