Sörjd Och Saknad [English translation]

See at the head of the entourage

for King and Country,

Some leftover rebels, an insurrection

against the totalitarian power

St George fought the dragon;

Engelbrecht fought for freedom.

And Gustav Vaasa took up arms

when the people suffered badly.

The ancient times lacked heroes

similar to today.

This lack is deplorable

leads to uneasiness, and demands

Where is there a man today

Or a woman to come forward

A rolemodel to follow,

standing upright, proud and strong.

(REF)

I want to see the old heroes come forward

I wanted to see them again

I want to see the old heroes come forward

I wanted to see them again

See the times how they are changing

see the barren days of gloom

Where, hunger, distress and sudden death

only obey their own law.

But this cradle lulled the heroes,

with weathered skin and hardwilled

that gave air and live to the heroes

Courage and strength to go forth

(REF)

(INTERLUDE)

Woe to the wicked leaders

that don't care for the flock

Woe to falsehood, woe to the tongues

That are drunk from the people's wine.

In wisdom, let not (mere) words

Be a restraint to violence

Yet there are new paths

On which heroes can go forward.
