Sabaton - Long Live The King 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
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
