    All Latin in songs from Sabaton is actual Latin.<br>They pride themselves on accuracy both historically and spoken.

    Last Stand is an absolute must.

    I might have gone with “The Last Stand” personally, but I was hoping Sabaton would be brought up either way

    Sabaton is basically history lessons set to heavy metal music.

    i describe Sabaton as basically modern day Bards, retailing heros and battles of old, but their reach extends far beyond the taverns of the day.

    Templars is specifically about the Knights Templar and their last Grandmaster, Jacques de Molay. Molay was accused of occult practices and witchcraft by King Philip IV of France (tho some believe he just wanted to get out a debt he owed the Templars) and Jacques was burned at the stake as a witch.<br><br>Might like the others say, the better song to provide a Catholic Priest (specifically a Roman Catholic one), would be &quot;The Last Stand&quot;, as it&apos;s significant to the Roman Catholic Papacy. <br><br>The story behind the last stand is the reason why the Pope&apos;s personal &quot;secret service&quot; equivalent is called the Swiss Guard.

    Fun fact, Joakim Brodén is half Czech and holds a dual Swedish and Czech citizenship. :)

    Not all of Sabaton&apos;s songs are romantizising, even if most of them are. My favourite Sabaton song, Ruina Imperii, is so heavy with dread and sorrow that Joakim didn&apos;t even make an English verison of the lyrics. The history of the fall of the Swedish Empire, and thousands of Swedish/Finnish soldiers freezing to death on their way home is a very heavy subject for every Swede.

    It&apos;s not about the 1st Crusade. Order of the Knights Templar was established ca. 20 years after the 1st Crusade. It&apos;s about the betrayal of the Knights Templar by King Philip IV (may he burn in Hell).

    The lyrics do have meaning,<br><br>Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam.<br>&quot;Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory&quot;<br><br>From Psalm 115 and a motto of the Templars.

    One of Sabatons most common talking points is that they try to highlight heroicism or great military feats without romanticising war itself. Some songs achieve that better than others. I get goosebumps from En Livstid I Krig (the Swedish version of A Lifetime At War from the Carolus Rex album, where all songs were done in both English and Swedish. Sometimes the lyrics differ quite a bit. For instance, A Lifetime At War is about the 30 year war in a broader perspective, while En Livstid I Krig focuses on an individual soldiers experience).

    So! Templars is about the history of the templar order, culminating in the French king Louis decrying the order as heretics and resulting in the execution of the order. This is essentially about their last stand against french forces at their temple castle.
