Sabaton - 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
Decending 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
Its a bombrun day, it the naval way
A bloodred sun is on the rise

    FAR FROM SHORE, A PACIFIC WAR

  5. M.... C....

    Just here for the Azur Lane comments

  6. N.... ....

    I promise one day I will write another lyrics for this melody.

  7. S.... ....

    “You talkin mad shit for a carrier in Owari Da range.”

  8. H.... N....

    When you destroy your frist aircraft carrier with an aircraft carrier on world of warships

  9. C.... ....

    America: *sends bombers with fighter escorts to actually fight back after many, many, many unescorted waves of bombers*
    Japan: You weren't supposed to do that.

  10. J.... V....

    Midway, or when Japan fucked up badly and where its chances of expanding were cut short.

    J.... V....

    Either one works.

  11. K.... D....

    I thing if it's someting, it's really metallic. But really now, of you write a komment, also write down what you think is wrong whit this song

  12. K.... D....

    Woooooow

  13. R.... O....

    **IJN Arrives at Midway**

    USS Enterprise & Yorktown: Surprise!!!!

  14. W.... ....

    The Japanese lost their advantage all because one of their DDs went sub hunting, got spotted, and drew attention back to the main Japanese fleet with their CVs. Crazy how small errors like that could turn the tides of war.

  15. p.... t....

    i was half expecting this to be in the midway movie

  16. V.... S....

    WHO CAME AFTER WATCHING "MIDWAY"?))

  17. T.... H....

    This was the day Japan learned not to paint their flags above important part of their ships it’s just giving the planes a bullseye mark🇯🇵

  18. S.... M....

    Who's here after watching the movie midway?

    S.... M....

    @Bernard Rednix Just saw it too

  19. F.... ....

    Ah yes, the battle Japan could have won if they had actually put the IJN Shouhou and IJN Shokaku's aircrews on the Zuikaku and sent it in, the thing they never even thought about doing.

    F.... ....

    I don’t think numbers were the reason why Japan lost the battle of Midway. They already outnumbered the 3 US carriers at the battle. Honestly, it was more likely do to japanese navel doctrine and the fact the USN knew exactly when and where the battle was going to take place.

  20. F.... E....

    For the first time in all of history,
    THE BEST OF GENERALS FROM BOTH SIDE FOUGHT A BATTLE AGAINST EACH OTHER in which the one with High discipline lost to the one with Moderate Discipline !!!!!

    NEVER JUDGE OUT THE USA

    F.... E....

    Everyone can jugde the USA, because... well you know, that "Americans are fat and retarded" stereotype

    F.... E....

    Blitzkrieg *judge*. At least we can spell. 😅

    F.... E....

  21. T.... D....

    Play this song twice and it's the same amount of time it took the SBD's to cook the Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu.

  22. D.... J....

    Alguém mais veio por causa do Nerdologia? :)

  23. P.... N....

    And now I've just seen the film on 18 Now 19 and damn I loved it, excelent film 👌🏻

  24. B.... Y....

    Sabaton is the best history band you cant deny that

  25. F.... P....

    Immediately came here just after finished watching Midway the movie

  26. D.... U....

    Japan: Ambush the American carriers.
    America: no u

  27. S.... B....

    Who is here after seeing the movie?

    S.... B....

    before seeing the movie

  28. J.... H....

    They missed out on a good chance to use this song as Trailer Music for Midway.

  29. P.... U....

    Now to listen to this non stop on my way to go see the movie Midway

  30. B.... J....

    Enterprise is best waifu

    B.... J....

    I bursted out of laugh when Akagi said that the Crimson Axis would crush the Azur Lane.
    "You're talking mad shit for someone in SBD Dauntless range !"

    B.... J....

    Everybody gangsta till the Grey Ghost says “Owari Da!”

  31. U.... 1....

    Imagine listening to this watching the movie Midway during a action seen or building action

  32. S.... ....

    For those who don't know they DIDN'T use this in Midway and had like one good song in the movie thats legit it.

  35. U.... S....

    My theme for 3-4 farming

    U.... S....

    USS Saratoga ah, the tenth ring of hell.

  36. D.... D....

    They should used this in the new Midway movie

    D.... D....

    they should also have used more actually significant historical events that had to do with the battle of midway instead of harping on about pearl harbour again

    D.... D....

    @Dorssen Derhaeg A mini series would have been more appropriate. More time to show all the events.

  37. S.... K....

    Japan at Pearl Harbor: All too easy.

    Enterprise at Midway: Define “Easy”,

    S.... K....

    On point

    S.... K....

    Hornet and Enterprise*

    S.... K....

    @Chicxulub Gamer and Yorktown who did most of the job

    S.... K....

    Rest in Peace USS Yorktown

    S.... K....

    Enterprise **Literally Owari Da'd 3/4 of the Carriers in just a shot amount of time**

  38. b.... ....

    anyone else listening to this before or after playing battlefield 5's pacific update?

  39. m.... ....

    Im foreseeing a new rise of Popularity for this song in light of the coming Midway movie and i patiently await the music videos ^^

  40. T.... ....

  42. E.... ....

    Anyone else hyped for the movie

    E.... ....

    Saw it two times. Fantastic.

  43. S.... L....

    Yamamoto said he could give Japan half a year of breathing room after Pearl Harbor. 6 Months later to the day, the Battle of Midway turned the tide against Japan

    S.... L....

    Fun fact : had the Japanese destroyed the fuel depot of Pearl Harbor, the US Navy would have been forced to withdraw on the West Coast.

  44. S.... ....

    my personal favorite song

  45. T.... R....

    Man I can't wait for the Midway movie that's coming to theaters November 8th, 2019.

  46. A.... M....

    Ohhh look Japanese carriers ohh uss York town and uss Enterprise time for some fun

  47. T.... D....

    Thought he said "Big Gay"

  48. k.... K....

    I just got war thunder to work today! I can run it on low graphics, but it plays like a dream. I need a Russian boat now. There is a new armored gun boat with a 76mm gun on the front. I'm thinking of getting that.

  49. B.... V....

    I can't understand why this is so short.

  50. H.... G....

    When it says ‘Admirals at war:’ is it Referring to Admirals William Halsey, Frank Fletcher, Chester Nimitz, And Isoroku Yamamoto?

    Not one of their good songs.

    R.... D....

    What do you mean

  52. �.... ....

    Where is the Republic of China?

  53. A.... W....

    fun fact: A dive bomber defending the US ships from bombers took down an Enemy zero by colliding it wing to wing

    A.... W....

    And I read somewhere that a Greek fighter pilot rammed an Italian bomber's propeller with his wing , bringing it down, after he run out of ammunition.

  54. 4.... F....

    Hirohito is ugly

  55. J.... G....

    One of my favorite battles of the Pacific war

  56. t.... t....

    imagine this music in the new midway film

  57. V.... d....

    Wish sabaton would make more around the pacific war
    (ground battles)

  58. E.... S....

    **Yamamoto tries to invade Midway Island**

    Nimitz : I'm about to end this man's whole Carriers...

    E.... S....

    they actually just made another movie about this battle,it's not 100% but pretty damn accurate and a great movie

    E.... S....

    Anonymous Anonymous Did you see it? I thought Midway wasn’t coming out until the 10th?

    E.... S....

    *I'm about to end all four of this man's carriers

    @Alex Mclean r/ihadastroke

  59. F.... M....

    F.... M....

    they do take song request on their official website try your luck

  60. T.... ....

    That's how they dive, their balls drag them downwards.

  61. T.... ....

    they shloud put this into War thunder as offical soundtrack while playning naval aircrafts against Japan ones

  62. N.... N....

    Need 10 hour loop now

    Japanese Navy: *exists*
    Five Minutes Later

  64. L.... P....

    Beat droppes so hard, Akagi's elevator flew out of the flight deck

  65. w.... ....

    The Americans were clearly blasting this when the battle happened.

  66. S.... K....

    Anyone looking forward to the Midway 2019 movie?

    S.... K....

    The what?

    S.... K....

    I'm worried for it...

    S.... K....

    Cautiously...

    S.... K....

    I’ve been seeing ads for it....

    Doubt how historically accurate it’ll be

    S.... K....

    Just watched the movie, it's surprisingly faithful to the source material.

  67. O.... W....

    The only problem is that it’s short

  68. G.... ....

    The B-17's were the true MVP of the Battle Of Midway- Change my mind--

  69. H.... B....

    Who’s here after the movie trailer?

    H.... B....

    Lane Flames I just watched the trailer and just wanted to listen to the song. Partly because as I was watching the trailer the second time I began thinking this song would’ve gone great on the trailer.

  70. S.... A....

    Now thats what i call a generic sabaton song

  71. A.... B....

    The Japanese Fleet lost the moment they failed to achieve several objectives at Pearl Harbor...Midway is simply a huge stroke of luck.
    And as a certain Japanese Admiral said, if they can't managed to force a victory, or at least momentum of victory, in the first 6 months, then they are shit out of luck in the war. Which many military blunders after ensured that.

  72. A.... g....

    time to get some revenge for pearl harbor take bake the Philippians and island hope and then once there week unleash two surprises

  73. A.... W....

    Saluting IJN Arashi, the most effective US Navy destroyer of the war
    Singlehandedly winning Midway for the US
    :P

    A.... W....

    Wait what I'm confused keep in mind I'm not that big on Midway But a japanese ship is a US navy destroyer what?!?!?!?!

    IJN=imperial Japanese navy

    A.... W....

    It’s a joke, the arashi led us planes to the main Japanese fleet

  74. M.... K....

    Japan: Hey, let's have a party in the pacific
    USA: I'll bring the firecrackers

    M.... K....

    And boss tunes

    M.... K....

    No japan brought the fireworks and we brought the lighters

  75. D.... ....

    *World of Warships fight intensifies*

  76. V.... s....

    I love how the guitar in this song in the background! I love the dammmdanndaba, babababbaabbaabaaa,

  77. J.... C....

    For a truly wonderful account of the battle from the Japanese perspective of events, take a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd8_vO5zrjo

    J.... C....

    part 2 pleeeeaaaaseeee

  78. �.... ....

    77th years have passed, today that year, the battle of Midway is still ongoing.

  79. B.... 6....

    Anyone else hear Duck Tales?

  80. A.... ....

    Why is it that all the sabaton songs about the navy give me chills? Like, this, Bismarck, etc. All chills

  81. K.... ....

    4 minutes, 3 carriers destroyed. Navy is absolutely badass.

    K.... ....

    @Aonghas McTavish Also a lot of the credit goes to VT-6, VT-8, and the bomber pilots based at Midway. Without their sacrifice the Japanese wouldn't have been distracted enough for the Dauntless attacks that crippled them.

    K.... ....

    @Matteo by all accounts the Dauntleses shouldn't of been there, they had got lost on the way there and were almost at bingo fuel but were lucky enough to stumble across the wake of a Japanese Destroyer that was going full speed to catch up to the Japanese fleet because it was lagging behind which marked the way for their attacks and When they got to the AO the Japanese AA was to focused on Torpedo Bombers and by most reports didn't spot the SBDs until their diving runs, it really was a crazy battle.

    K.... ....

    they were lucky the dive bombers were last aircrafts at carriers and the bombed japan ships when they are preparing the last attack and they were refueling and rearming the aircrafts so.... one bomb and whole ship explodes by bombs and fuels a the deck

    K.... ....

    Nimitz won because he was listening to "Art of War".

  82. D.... B....

    *Screams in powermetal*

  83. J.... K....

    When you discover War Thunder Navy

  84. F.... 2....

    The SBD-3 was hands down the winner

  85. I.... N....

    I think we need a battle off Samar song now

    I.... N....

    *USS JOHNSTON CHARGING INTENSIFIES*

    or one on the Russian 2nd pacific fleet
    Title: *And then it got worse*

  86. R.... S....

    I like this song, but damn those lyrics are as generic as it could get.

  87. U.... c....

    Chester Nimitz op pls nerf

  88. W.... C....

    For some reason, I misread the title as "Dutch". Was then confused that there was German. My brain completely forgot that "Deutsche" is German, not Dutch hahahaha

  89. K.... C....

    Best song to be stuck in my head for that biology exam

  90. S.... i....

    Midway, geologically speaking, is one of the last islands of the Hawaiian chain. It's a scary thought - had the Japanese conquered Midway, they would have technically have invaded part of Hawaii.

  91. g.... t....

    Uss Midway(now,a,museum) is one huge ship. Spent over,in,hour exploring in the lower,decks

  92. L.... 1....

    RIP
    Akagi
    Kaga
    Soryu
    Hiryu
    And Yorktown

    L.... 1....

    Don't forget hammann. She was that one American destroyer who was sunk with Yorktown.

    L.... 1....

    @Aoki Kun and Portland saved their crews

    L.... 1....

    @Lemur 14 Yep.

  93. L.... P....

    You see, whenever a history teacher tells you this story... you don't understand the weight of the battle.

    This song tells you the story in an easy to understand way, and the instrumental helps you understand why this battle was important

    L.... P....

    Why I love Sabaton.

  94. Z.... ....

    This reminds me of shiroyama

  95. G.... ....

    What I find funny is that before World War II we had an army smaller than 100,000 and then a soon as Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we start turning out war machines and soldiers Twice as fast is German and five times faster than Japan I just find that kind of funny it’s like hey let’s go attack the small little country It turns in this massive fucking titan

  96. D.... H....

    Nuclear Strike(the studio/publisher) is like "I dare you to make a song in two and a half minutes." Other guy: "heh, they'll never do it.
    Sabayon: "You're on."

  97. E.... ....

    Came here after playing Azur Lane lol
