En livstid i krig - Sabaton

Jag ser mig om och ser mitt hem försvinna bort

Min tid där hemma känns nu alldeles för kort

Blott ungdom, knappt en man då plikten kallade mig

Om jag får se mitt hem igen det vet jag ej

Bland fränder från min by så drog jag ut i strid

Och världen brann

För kriget det kan

Förgöra en man

Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland

Men vem saknar mig?

Så se mig som den

En make, en vän

Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem

Men vem sörjer mig?

Gick ut i strid för Sverige, blev döpt i blod

Där ute väntar döden, inte hjältemod

I fält där fränder faller, hörs ingen sång

Utmanar våra öden, ännu en gång

Långt hemifrån

Döpas och dö i strid

Och världen brann

För kriget det kan

Förgöra en man

Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland

Men vem saknar mig?

Så se mig som den

En make, en vän

Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem

Men vem sörjer mig?

Och när min tid har runnit ut

Vem bryr sig då?

De kämpar på

Får en soldat ett värdig slut?

Få somna in

Försvinna bort

Och aldrig vakna

För kriget det kan

Förgöra en man

Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland

Men vem saknar mig?

Så se mig som den

En make, en vän

Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem

Men vem sörjer mig?

A Lifetime Of War

Two ways to view the world so similar at times

Two ways to rule the world to justify their crimes

By kings and queens young men are sent to die in war

Their propaganda speaks those words been heard before

Two ways to view the world brought Europe down in flames

Two ways to rule

Has man gone insane?

A few will remain

Who’ll find a way

To live one more day

Through decades of war.

It spreads like disease,

There’s no sign of peace.

Religion and creed

Cause millions to bleed.

Three decades of war.

From dawn to dawn they’re fighting,

Die where they stand

The fog of war lies thick

When armies scorch the land.

When all of Europe’s burning

What can be done?

They’ve been to war a decade,

Two more to come

Long way from home

Döpas och dö I strid

Lifetime at war

Has man gone insane?

A few will remain

Who’ll find a way

To live one more day

Through decades of war.

It spreads like disease,

There’s no sign of peace.

Religion and creed

Cause millions to bleed.

Three decades of war.

When they face death they’re all alike

No right or wrong, rich or poor

No matter who they served before

Good or bad, they’re all the same

Rest side by side now

Has man gone insane?

A few will remain

Who’ll find a way

To live one more day

I look around and see my home disappear

My time at home now feels far too short

Only youth, hardly a man when duty called me

If I get to see my home again, I do not know

Among relatives from my village, I went out to battle

And the world burned

For the war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who misses me?

So see me as it

A husband, a friend

Father and son never coming home

But who mourns me?

Went out in battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood

Out there, death awaits, not heroism

In fields where relatives fall, no song is heard

Challenging our destinies, once again

Far from home

Be baptized and die in battle

And the world burned

For the war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who misses me?

So see me as it

A husband, a friend

Father and son never coming home

But who mourns me?

And when my time has run out

Who cares then?

They are struggling

Does a soldier get a dignified end?

Get to sleep

Disappear

And never wake up

For the war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who misses me?

So see me as it

A husband, a friend

Father and son never coming home

But who mourns me?
