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
