LONG LIVE THE KING
(BY SABATON - ALBUM: CAROLUS REX); Dreams are seldom shattered
By a bullet in the dark
Rulers 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 tide
Three hundred years still no one knows,
The secret remains
-
Broken dreams so grand,
Sing of his final stand,
Long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand,
Back to the fatherland,
Long live Carolus Rex
-
Brought him back to Sweden,
Where we put him in a chest
Years of war and agony,
Now the king can finally rest
-
What will be uncovered,
From that cold November night
Fredrikshald, what happened there,
Will it ever come to light?
-
For their honor
For their glory
For the men who fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
