Sabaton - Purple Heart (Lyrics English & Deutsch) video free download
The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.
It is the world's oldest still used military decoration and has been awarded nearly 2 million times.
First written as "Nightchild" this song was meant to follow the style of their first album "Fist for Fight". It is not known why they reshaped it into "Purple Heart", but it was definitely the first step of their steep ascent to the point where they are today.
CAUTION!
I won't tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work.
"No, we don't glorify anything, we just tell stories about things that have happened." (Rikard Sundén, Sabaton)
Please support Sabaton and purchase their current album Coat of Arms.
----------
Das Purple Heart ("Purpurherz") wird an Soldaten der Streitkräfte der Vereinigten Staaten verliehen, die im Kampf durch gegnerische Kräfte verwundet wurden, ebenso an den nächsten Angehörigen eines gefallenen Soldaten.
Es ist weltweit der älteste heute noch verwendete militärische Orden und wurde bisher fast 2 Millionen mal verliehen.
Zuerst als "Nightchild" geschrieben sollte dieses Lied dem Stil ihres ersten Albums "Fist for Fight" folgen. Warum sie es dann zu "Purple Heart" umarbeiteten ist nicht bekannt, es war aber definitiv der erste Schritt ihres steilen Aufstieges zu dem Punkt, an dem sie heute stehen.
ACHTUNG!
Ich dulde keine rassistischen, diskriminierenden oder in sonstiger Form unangemessene Kommentare! Dieses Lied verherrlicht weder Krieg, noch den Nationalsozialismus, sondern ist rein historisch zu betrachten!
"Nein, wir verherrlichen nichts, wir erzählen nur Geschichten über Dinge, die passiert sind." (Rikard Sundén, Sabaton)
Bitte unterstützt Sabaton und kauft euch das aktuelle Album Coat of Arms!

So does anyone know why Purple Heart is just a re-work or Nightchild? Don't get me wrong, their both great songs but literally the only difference is the lyrics.9 years ago

I wouldn't die for a flag, banner or anything like that... I don't believe on nationalism or patriotism anymore... But I can understand and I probably wouldn't mind giving my life for something I believed.9 years ago

i hope one day i will fight for something i believe and and if i die trying for that cause sacrifice is the greatest thing you can give to a cause but to be drafted and sent straight into a jungle and seeing your brothers in arms burned alive by your own napalm only to return home seeing things no man should ever see is a life sentence to hell9 years ago
