Long Live the King [Konungens likfärd] lyrics

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?

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

For their honor

For their glory

For the men who fought and bled

A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead

Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus

Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex (x2)
