Sabaton - Wehrmacht

Sabaton - Wehrmacht - The Coat of Arms (2010)

The Swedish are marching again... using German tanks and Latin words, at least in the song "Wehrmacht", where they sing:

ad victoriam!
ex machina
non sibi sed patriae

This mean

to victory!
out of the machine
not for self but for the fatherland

I found out in the internet that this latin phrase is engraved in the doors of the United States Naval Academy chapels. It's also the motto of USS Halyburton.

Good luck with conquering Europe in 2010. See you there!

  1. Interesting translations, you could always take a look at Ofermod's "Rape the World", there is some latin in that song as well as other languages. It's supposed to be an Overflash cover but I'm not sure the original has lyrics in so many languages.
