Sabaton - Long Live The King Lyrics






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
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex

    Big respect to Carolus Rex and the Caroleans from a Russian. Peter the Great after Poltava held a big feast in honor of the victory and the brave Swedish officers and soldiers, even raising a toast to them according to some accounts. You may imagine the level of respect he might have had for Charles XVII.

    The Swedish empire, an empire that no one knew existed for people in the past until people know of it today. One of the few empires that fought to the death and fought for its freedoms, even beating the living hell out of all other countries in the wars they were in to prove it. With Gustavus Adolphus to Frederick I, the Swedish empire not only had the full control of the Baltic but the full known world in Europe itself and fought to keep it even the Ingrian war was a war between them and Russia and won by a long shot and gained Ingria (the place where St. Petersburg is) adding alongside with one or two colonies. When the great northern war came Charles XII or Carolus Rex wasn't ready for this to come. For him before the war was known for the Gottorp Fury (an actual event, I'm not kidding, this did happen. Look it up).

    When it came he vowed to defend Sweden until he died and he did with a vengeance. He first did it with defeating Denmark by landing outside of Copenhagen (landed and the Danish surrendered within a single step. He then turned to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and tore a hole in the power of said nation and later became a puppet for later rising countries like Russia, Prussia, and Austria.

    Later but in between that he kicked the hell out of Russia hard at the siege of Narva during winter and despite overwhelming odds pulled an impossible victory and the Russians destroyed the same bridge they crossed due to the weight of the soldiers themselves and the bridge collapsed taking the ones on the bridge into the cold river below (he actually did a Leroy Jenkins on Russia and succeeded). Later on after the commonwealth campaign he decided to invade (note: Napoleon, Hitler, and numerous other have invaded Russia. And can you guess what they all got from the result? Russian Winter and frost that killed numerous Swedish soldiers and with the destruction of supply trains (a long line of wagons with supplies).

    But some people do say it does take one punch to take the little guy out of the ring and that one punch is at Poltava. Then later one most of the empire was being torn apart by the Triple Alliance (not the South American one that literally caused a mass genocide of most of Paraguay's population) while Carolus was in the Ottoman Empire. Later he would return and continue the war and assaulted Norway to cut off Denmark's supply lines. But would fail two times and believed that it would work a third time and he died singeing a first and was shot through the head. No one still doesn't know how he died but that only is secretly to the people who were there and are dead today in their graves.

    This war basically was mainly forgotten because of the war of the Spanish succession. Now the war is given a new light on their time of war in Northern Europe. A time to show what Sweden. A country from the thirty years war to today is still storied even if Sverige is forgotten, a bit of their stories are extraordinary by other people (like being responsible for the sinking or hunt of the Bismarck).

    Still more than 300 years and no one knows who killed him. With broken dreams, as grand as they stood now fallen and collapsed from the death of a king. Carolus Rex the last TRUE KING of Sverige. You glorious white Viking descendant you, I salute to you.

    @Agent58 it was a kingdom but then later became an empire later on until Charles the 12th died.

    A.... C....

    @Arturo Chambers i didn't know about that.

    A.... C....

    @Agent58 it was a kingdom before Gustavus Adolphus. After that it became an empire. Since in a kingdom, you're crowned by what religion you're in. In an empire you are crowned by either succession or by yourself.
