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 Rex 



Broken dreams so grand 

Sing of his final stand 

Long live Carolus 

Brought by soldiers hand 

Back to the fatherland 

Long live Carolus Rex
