1648 [English version] lyrics

While Europe speak of peace, all other battles cease

There's a man who aims for more than he can reach

Blood,

All over

Prague

On fire

Burn

All of Bohemia set ablaze

Stand on their own

The road to the city has been blocked

Denied

(They're denied)

To enter the gates

Though they tried

(Though they tried)

When Prague was called to arms

They fought them on the bridge

Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning

Königsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most

Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side

Did what they could

Died where they stood

Their city has been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashed

As the cannons crush the walls, the city shakes

Fear

Is spreading

Hate

Increasing

Death

And pain is all that Sweden brought

Rise and strike back

The walls of the city has been breached

Reclaimed

(They're reclaimed)

On that very night

Unsustained

(Unsustained)

They did it on their own

They fought them on the bridge

Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning

Königsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most

Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side

Did what they could

Died where they stood

Unconquered city on Vltava's shore

Start of the conflict and end of the war

Unconquered city on Vltava's shore

Is protected by its people

And thirty years ago the war begun

It has returned to where it started

The road to the city has been blocked

Denied

(They're denied)

To enter the gates

Though they tried

(Though they tried)

When Prague was called to arms

They fought them on the bridge

Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning

Königsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most

Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side

Did what they could

Died where they stood (x2)
