Be it Comrades advancing on the German scum or knights battling it out in England. War songs of all kinds are epic. They have too to capture the fighting spirit of those listening. But some truly stand out as among the best. Your favorites?

Martin have you ever heard the sharp version of over the hill and far away that also great. Been some really nice songs so far.

i will put the lyrics of one of my favorite songs (souds a bit awful in englis though )

Holy young Legionary,
With a chest having the quality of iron and a soul like a lily
Unbridled he rushes in spring,
With a forehead like a Carpathian waterfall,
With arms going up in the sun
[An] eternal Iconostasis;
We built it from rocks, from fire, from the sea
And stoutly we daubed it with Dacian blood...

I: The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven. :l

Death, only Legionary death
It is the most costly wedding of weddings,
For the holy cross, for the country
We will defeat the forests and make the mountains obey.
There is no prison that can scare us
No pain, no enemy storm;
If we all fall, struck in the forehead,
Death is dear to us for the Captain!

I: The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven. :l

Holy young Legionary,
We build up churches and stay brave in prison...
In persecutions all who are bitter
Sing and think of the Nicadori,
We carry in blizzard and in sun
Lights for victors,
For the brave we build altars
And for traitors we have only bullets !

I: The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven. :l

it's roughly translated (not by me )

War ? What is good for

Also, another war songs that i like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGChrrFI0B0 (SS Marschiert in Feindesland )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc-DgRO1SrQ (Erika)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxxdF8raD4w (Radetzky Marsch )

and many more ....

I wish the "1812 Overture" counted.

The ghost of you by MCR

Pretty much all of Red Army Choir's songs.

Although "The Cossack's Song" and "The Partisan's Song" are the best.
