Long Live The King

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

300 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

300 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



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

Brought by soldiers hand back to the fatherland long live Carolus Rex
