At War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pinned down they move undetected with green eyed glow
the guns they fall silent with ease and the twist of the knife
call in the assassins set them free
call in the assassins victory
he sits at his post hand on gun he suspects not a thing
like ghosts they move in for the kill and eventual win
before his last breath they move on to their next victim
paving the way for our missions victorious end
assassins appear through the smoke and assess their last kill
call in the assassins set them free
call in the assassins victory
tortured by fear they instill now morale starts to fade
as we advance their defenses have begun to crack
the tip of the spear caused the streets to run red with their blood
call in the assassins set them free
call in the assassins victory

Growing up my father who was teaching at the military academy I was attending. Gave the other students and I an assignment to do a report on instances where psychological warfare defeated conventional warfare.
My father then gave us an example of what he meant using the history between the assassins and Saladin.
“One night While on a campaign the Great Saladin went to bed surrounded and protected by his large army and his guards. Only to wake up to an assassin trying to put a knife into his chest. Saladin was able to deflect the knife and began screaming for his guards. The assassin hearing this ran away.
And even though the assassin failed to kill Saladin that night. He did put enough fear into Saladin that he decided to abandon the campaign and return home.
But a year later Saladins fear was under control and again launched the campaign from the previous year, and vowed that he would be successful this time.
But with the attempt on his life the year before fresh in his mind. He placed his best guards around his tent, he had surrounded his tent with white chalk to detect any foot prints of an intruder, he even placed small breakable balls connected by a chain around the tent to ensure any assassin trying to enter would be easily heard.
As a result Saladin went to bed that night feeling safe, protected, and confident in victory.
But when he woke up he saw a plate with pastries on it and a written warning on a piece of paper that was held in place by an assassins knife.And once again The Assassins made an entire army abandon it’s s campaign”

Abu bakar
Umar bin khattab

They
Are not islamic prophet they are khalifah (a leader, a imam, a wise/holy man walking in their time)
If arabic man have a problem they ask them for advice, and told them what to do.
Khalifah, not mia khalifa😅. They dont have a miracle of prophet had.
Muhammad is the last prophet not the founder of islam.

It's not about the men they would kill, it's about the message it would send.
If you are the leader of an army at the gates of a city, surrounded by nothing but the most vigilant and well trained guards in the lands, your death would change little, the command structure would adapt and a new head would take it's place. The walls would be torn down by the army, the city left as rubble.
However, if you are in your chambers, surrounded by locked doors, steep cliffs, barred windows and armed guards, and you wake up to find a knife stuck at the foot of your bed, with a message dangling from it stating "seize the attack", it plays into a paranoid terror that you don't easily forget.
A voice that whispers "your armies don't matter, nothing can protect you".
When killing a man is easy, when no one is untouchable, to leave him alive with a warning sends a message more powerful than any opposing army could hope to be.
And many a man heeded the warning, armies turned back, for no one conventional enemy was untouchable before the reach of the Assassins.
However, the Mongols were no conventional enemy, and the Assassins learned that the hard way.
Through seas of blood left to boil before the fires that rendered enemy lands ash and ash alone.

I hope one day you guys make a video on battle of gangwana between the Kingdom of marwar against the kingdom of Jaipur and mughal empire, where 1000 rathore horsemen fought against an combined army of 40,000. This battle is probably my favorite battle in history and it's the same level as that polish cavalry charge in spain during the Nepoleonic war.
MUCH BS
Hey History Dose could you guys make a video on the history of the conflict between Turkey and Kurdistan.
