========= White Death LYRICS ==========
Almost night, a crimson horizon painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach from the east, a hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun wanders into the wild
Tracks you down, you cannot hide once he is on to your trail
Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun
You’re in the sniper’s sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
You’re in the bullet’s way, the White Death’s prey, say goodbye
After the dawn when morning has broken, snow once white turned to red
Blood red snow tells what happened last night, a tale of a sniper is born
Snow in mouth hiding his breath, he is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come
Hundreds of kills. a man and his rifle embody the sisu of finns
Stay out of sight and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you’re dead
You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
Hundreds will fall by his gun
You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
White death is coming for you

That's not dedication or diligence, it's self corrective. Dedication and diligence would have not made such a whopping error that you call small, but the comment sections went nuts over, so not so small. As the other guy said here, their self admission is easy to see. They are rockers first and foremost, not historians. Those in charge of the history and the art got a woodshed moment, and we are lucky enough they cared to fix it. However, let's be real, a re-upload means plenty of more views too. So in the end it works for them twice, and against once, so still a win.

The value of Simo is overlooked. Most people see him as a sniper and a good one at that, but fail to notice the true strenght. He was a hero in a difficult place. The soldier itself is not much more valuable for the army than any other, but the legend of that soldier. The story of a hero. It gave morale and determination in a time when it was needed.

Simon Hayha was a small man, just a bit over five feet. A brave warrior, doesn't seem to have been much for hand to hand combat, but he was a beast for long range sniping. He was a farmer who honed his skill hunting animals to feed his family. When his country was threatened by the Russians, he stepped to the fore. From what I've read, he was a gentle man who took no pleasure in killing, but did what had to be done.

Simo Häyhä's commanding officer Aarne Juutilainen would in my opinion also deserve his own song. The guy was in the French Foreign Legion in the 1930's and gained the nickname of "The Terror of Morocco" in Winter War because of that. He commanded one of the most decorated units and housed Simo in his own command bunker. He was known as person who would not break and his men would have followed him to hell and back Simo included. His line would hold if not told to run as he himself had said. He also served in the Continuation and Lapland wars.

What a great homage to a great and good man. Simo's extraordinary feats with his rifle and woodsman's skills are legendary and true. He preferred iron sights so he could keep his head down. Sabaton, my rifle is 6.5x55!

I feel it's important to expand upon something because it's a word I recognize from the Finnish rally scene - there's a word they use to describe what a driver should have to be a good driver - SISU. I was told it simply meant "heart" or "courage." If anyone wants to know, the 1000 Lakes Rally had incredibly fast roads with lots of blind corners, crests, jumps, and so forth so a driver needed to have confidence (Sisu) to get the most out of their cars.

Another dawn appears in this snowy hell, our morale is annihilated, our tracks are covered in graves of those who felt the frostbite of this cursed land. Our armor and other vehicles are trapped. Malnourished, broken and by the barrel of the commissars, we march onward. I feel my body shivering by each step i take. Our comrades tell the tales of the mysterious single man following us everywhere. I can only guess if they are over exaggerating or not.. How wrong were my assumptions. As we pass by the land, i can see them.. oh heavens, so many of them! Our comrades laying dead, one by one! How can a single man, let alone with a mere old rifle, slay so many in a day?! Neither our best snipers, or our heavy guns capable of tearing cities apart can take this beast of a man down.. His steady hand and steely will outmatches our glorious firepower. This is a clear punishment.. Each day that passes by, we get more and more desperate, and all because of this one man army. I do not know what will strike me down, but by heavens do i feel the shadow of death wave above us the deeper we go into the enemy land.. Mama.. this is hard, tell my ill papa that his son is alive and well. And will return safely home. I love you all. Sincerely, your Aleksei. "... Ts-ts-ts.. why none of you Russians ever learn?" Softly utters Simo Häyhä, he returns the letter and the parents pictures to its owner, and the last thing the dying Aleksei hears and sees, are the steps of the White Death in its white cloak.. and the scythe that it carries alongside with it. For his scythe is his rifle. And he is the White Death.
