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!
