Konungens likfärd


Döden stod för dörren, denna kalla vinternatt
Bragd om livet, stod det skrivet, när hans öde hann ifatt

Vem skall oss nu leda, i en tid som runnit ut
Mist vår kung, vår sorg är tung, när hans styre tagit slut

Kom skottet fr¨n hans egen här, tanken tär
Trehundra år och ingen vet, hans döds hemlighet

Död vi rikets rand, drömmen rann ut i sand, leve Carolus
Buren hem för hand, åter till Svealand leve Carolus Rex.

Marschen går mot Sverige, inga sånger i vårt led
Bär vår konung hemåt än över berg och över hed

Hur skall vi då minnas, var han hjälte eller ej
Dårskap eller hjältemod, ja det skall du fråga dig

Sista färden
Ny tid nalkas
Skall det ätnligen bli fred
Men vi blir aldrig det vi en gång var

English: Long live the king

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?

For their honor
For their glory
For the men who fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics KONUNGENS LIKFÄRD of SABATON is also present in the album Carolus rex (2012)
