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 a 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
(Three hundred years, still no one knows)
The secret remains
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by a soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
For their honour, for their glory
For the men that fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by a soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by a soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, Carolus Rex
(Long live Carolus Rex)
