Sabaton Long Live the King song 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 soldier's 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?

Frederikshald, 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 soldier's 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 soldier's hand

Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex

Broken dreams so grand

Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus

Brought by soldier's hand

Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
