1914 about Viribus Unitis:
“Viribus Unitis is about shared strength and the idea that true power lies in unity. Alone, one may fall – together, we can prevail and achieve our goals: Defeat the enemy, escape captivity, survive, and return to your family. We return with a new story. A story of life and military valor of a soldier who encountered the Great War in his native city of Lviv and went through it all. Side by side, with joint efforts of Ukrainians, Poles, Hungarians, Slovenes, Czechs, Slovaks, Jews, Croats, Bosniaks, Germans – all the peoples who made up the vast Austro-Hungarian Empire. Empires did not count people – they threw them into meat grinders where survival was only possible through unity. By helping one another. By sacrificing yourself for the sake of your loved ones and comrades.
This is a story of being blinded by war and the grandeur of the empire, of the heat of battle, realization and acceptance of reality, awakening, changing values, captivity, and liberation. It is a story of unbreakable will to live and hope amidst a terrifying and bloody war. It is a story of a new little life that changes all the rules and forces one to see the familiar from a different perspective. It is a story of love. It is a story of loss and death. Viribus Unitis is when pain, death, loss, loneliness, and fear encircle you. But you’re still unbroken!”
Lyrics:
“1914 (The Siege of Przemyśl)
Barbarian hordes captured my hometown
Lemberg
we had to retreat
to the Przemysl fortress
and wait
Drunken cossacks and russian slobs
lined up in front
of our walls
we fired with all our guns
hold your breath
Aim your Kanone
and we filled the sky
with shrapnel and death
Hold, breath, aim
Shoot, reload, again
And we light up the night
With all our hate
I aimed at the foe
kurze Kanone M80
My captain spat on the floor
And ordered with disgust
Our weapons did not let us down
For three days
the russians attacked
and accomplished nothing but
40 000 dead pigs.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
“
