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
