Long Live the King
Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the darkRulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their heart?Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream fall apart?
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live CarolusBrought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chestYears of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
What will be uncovered, from that cold November nightFredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to light?
For their honorFor their gloryFor the men who fought and bledA soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
