En livstid i krig [A Lifetime of War] [English translation]

I look around and see my home fade away

My time at home now feels far too short.

Just a youth, barley a man when duty called me

If I ever see my home again

That I don't know

With kinsmen from my village

I went to war

And the world burned

Because the war can

Destroy a man

I give my life to my motherland

But who will miss me?

See me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never returns home

But who will mourn me?

Went to war for Sweden

Got baptized in blood

The death waits overthere

Not heroism

A field where kinsmen falls

No song can be heard

To challenge our destiny once again

Far away from home

Baptized and die in a battle

And the world burned

Because the war can

Destroy a man

I give my life

to my motherland

But who will miss me?

See me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never returns home

But who will mourn me?

And when my time got to an end

Who cares then?

They will combat

Does a soldier got a dignified end?

To pass away

To disappear

And never wake up

Because the war can

Destroy a man

I give my life to my motherland

But who will miss me?

See me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never returns home

But who will mourn me?
