Monday Metal: Sabaton - 40:1

O Sabaton é um tipo de banda que mesmo que o power metal se torne ainda mais clichê do que é capaz de ser, nunca vai perder a forma. Por isso eis que a banda chega ao nosso Monday Metal.

Hoje a gente traz o clássico 40:1, tocado numa bela versão ao vivo em um show realizado na Polônia em 2010, uma ótima sacada tendo em vista o conteúdo da letra, que reconta o episódio da Batalha de Wizna.

Nessa batalha 720 poloneses lutaram contra mais de 40 mil soldados alemães, e apesar da derrota ter sido inevitável todos resistiram até o fim, dando vida a uma letra onde os suecos comparam a desproporção dos exércitos a outro episódio: a Batalha das Termópilas, retratada no famoso filme 300.

Letra
Baptised in fire. 40 to 1
So silent before the storm Awaiting command A few has been chosen to stand As one outnumbered by far The orders from high command Fight back, hold your ground!
In early September it came A war unknown to the world No army may enter that land That is protected by Polish hand Unless you are 40 to 1 Your force will soon be undone
Baptised in fire 40 to 1 Spirit of Spartans Death and glory Soldiers of Poland Second to none Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
The 8th of September it starts The rage of the Reich A barrage of mortars and guns Stand fast, the bunkers will hold The captain has pledged his life I'll face my fate here! The sound of artillery strike So fierce The thunder of guns
So come, bring on all that you've got Come hell, come high water, Never stop Unless you are 40 to 1 Your lives will soon be undone
Baptised in fire 40 to 1 Spirit of Spartans Death and glory Soldiers of Poland Second to none Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
Always remember, a fallen soldier Always remember, fathers and sons at war Always remember, a fallen soldier Always remember, fathers and sons at war Always remember, a fallen soldier Always remember, buried in history
No army may enter that land That is protected by Polish hand Unless you are 40 to 1 Your force will soon be undone
Baptised in fire 40 to 1 Spirit of Spartans Death and glory! Soldiers of Poland Second to none Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
No, no, no
