F#m E
Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark
F#m A E
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
F#m E
Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their heart?
F#m A E
Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream fall apart?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A E
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
Bm A C#
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
[Chorus]
F#m C#m7 A Bm A E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m C#m7 A Bm A E F#m
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
[Verse 2]
F#m E
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
F#m A E
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
F#m E
What will be uncovered, from that cold November night
F#m A E
Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to light?'
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A E
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
Bm A C#
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
[Chorus]
F#m C#m7 A Bm A E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m C#m7 A Bm A E F#m
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex

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
