En livstid i krig (= A Lifetime in War)

I look around me and see my home fading away
My time there at home feels now way to short
Merely a youth,barely a man when duty called me
If I will ever see my home again,that I know not
Among kinsmen from my village so I went out to battle
And the world burned

For the war can (do) it
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as that
A husband,a friend
Father and son,who's never coming home
But who's mourning me?

I went out to battle for Sweden, got baptized in blood
Out there death is waiting,not heroism
There on the field kinsmen are falling, no song is heard
Challenging our destiny,one more time
Far away from home
Baptized and die in battle
And the world burned

For the war can (do) it
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as that
A husband,a friend
Father and son,who's never coming home
But who's mourning me?

And when my time has run out
Who will care then?
They fight on
Does a soldier get a worthy end?
To fall asleep
Fade away
And never wake up

For the war can (do) it
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as that
A husband,a friend
Father and son,who's never coming home
But who's mourning me?
