En livstid i krig [A Lifetime of War] [English translation]

I look around and I see my home fade away

My time at home now feels far too short

Just a youth, barely a man when duty called me

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

Amongst friends from my village, I went out to figtht

And the world burned

For war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who will mourn me?

So see me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never comes home

But who will miss me?

Went to fight for Sweden, was baptized in blood

Out there where death awaits, not heroism

In fields where kinsmen fall no song is heard

Challenging our destiny one more time

Far from home

Baptized and die in battle

And the world burned

For war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who will mourn me?

So see me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never comes home

But who will miss me?

And when my time runs out

Who cares then?

They fight on

Does a soldier get a worhty end?

To fall asleep

Pass away

And never wake up

For war it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my homeland

But who will mourn me?

So see me as

A husband, a friend

Father and son who never comes home

But who will miss me?
