========= Konungens Likfärd LYRICS ==========

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 från 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 äntligen bli fred
Men vi blir aldrig det vi en gång var

========= Historic Fact ==========

On November 30, 1718, Charles XII of Sweden was killed by a piece of metal that pierced his left temple during the siege of Fredriksten. The circumstances of his death are still unclear to this day.

I knew staying up an hour more would reward me.

[Gokaes]

I really love sabaton's swedish songs they are great, love from finland!

[smiIingman]

Glad this song is getting more recognition, it was released over a decade ago and remains as one of my favourite Sabaton songs.

[Kim.Chaos.Possible]

This is one of the songs I most would love to hear live på svenska. I hear and feel the emotion of it in English. But there's a quality to it in Swedish that just is so heartbreaking. Definitely a favorite off the album.

[moonlitsun]

Is it just me, or does Joakims voice sound even more powerfull in this swedish version??? Anyways, OUTSTANDING song ❤️‍🔥💖

[kalew]

What a beautiful song to make me wake up, discovering the lyrics as a non-Swedish/Scandinavian is always a good surprise. I can't wait for the next lyric video for Carolus Rex. Thanks again Sabaton and we hope that you'll continue your magnificent work with metal music. Love from France <3

I don't know what I love more, the songs or the stories behind them. I'm so grateful for everything you guys did, you helped me in very hard times. Thank you Sabaton, keep up the good work and greetings from Germany!

[Bendakid]

I don't speak a word of Swedish but I can feel the power and respect in these words. Leve Carolus Rex.

[Usertrappedindatabase]

So proud of Sweden, wait I'm American? Styrka och ära till Sverige, må det aldrig förlora sig själv!
