Lyrics of the Day:

"Into battle facing the fire
Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand
For their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on"

or...

"In i striden genom ett kulregn, Herrens vilja ske
In i striden går han på led
Tills han vitögat ser, karolinen marscherar fram
Lade sitt liv i Guds hand för sin konung och fosterland
Tills han vitögat ser, karolinen marscherar fram"

- "The Carolean's Prayer" / "Karolinens Bön" from Carolus Rex (album released 5-25-2012) by Sabaton
This song, as you can tell, is about the Caroleans, the soldiers of the Swedish Army under the rule of King Charles XI (and later Charles XII). (Also, for those wondering what the Swedish lyrics during the bridge of the English version, it's the Lord's Prayer, up to "forgive us our debts.")

Today's comments:

(also, fun fact, this part of the issue was a mirror of the Soviet religious persecution campaign)

Anyone who comments on this post will get some pixel art from me! Only lasts 24 hours!!

lol I played this CTF game earlier and my team made a whole wall/maze around our flag and base just to keep out intruders

it was nightmare to navigate, especially when Arrow Upgrade was activated and you couldn’t fire your way through, but it made killing the enemy team’s players fun since there was a lot cornering and they could never get away quickly with the flag

here’s some photos (note: I was watching a commentary on ImAllexx’s video, not the actual one lol)

Once again, friendly reminder to sign Si’s goodbye card and write a message! The deadline in Wednesday at 10 AM EDT!

Lyrics of the Day:

“You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another Bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross”

- “Mary on a Cross” from Seven Inches of Satanic Panic (EP released 9-13-2019) by Ghost
I don’t listen to Ghost, but this song is pretty good.

lol currently on the hunt for M6x30mm screws for my shelf

I’ve been making a digital archive of my Transformers on a website called Shmax and it meant I had to add this

The nostalgia is real

lol today’s church service is incorporating a wedding… and I’m dressed in shorts and an Avantasia shirt

Ooooooh… this makes my blood boil

Working on something cool

Friendly reminder to sign Si's goodbye card and write a message for the "obituary" I'm putting at the end of a blog :D

Lyrics of the Day:

"We rock the ball, been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion to take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown, another angel down
We rock the ball, I'm facing my pain
A rage and a symphony driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd, another angel down"

- "Another Angel Down" from The Scarecrow (album released 1-25-2008) by Avantasia
This song is just plain awesome. I especially love the pre-choruses; Tobias sings the first one, and then Jørn repeats it to him the second time. As for the plot, because The Scarecrow (and the two albums after it) is a concept album, this track sees Mephistopheles (Jørn Lande) once again attempting to convince the Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet) to pursue his ambitions and "rise above the crowd" after being rejected by the love of his life (in the previous track, "What Kind of Love"). Unlike in "The Scarecrow," however, he actually agrees with Mephistopheles this time, leading him down a path of darkness and sin (hence the song's name, "Another Angel Down").
