Sabaton - 1648 Lyrics
Generaler ifrån norr till verket skredOndDe plundrarBrådDe våldtarDödSe hele Böhmen står i brandEn stad står kvarEn här måste mätta sin munTill strid(Genom strid)Den plundrar sin vägIngen frid(Ingen frid)När Königsmarck går framSom ingen annan manSom ingen annan kanBrand å mord, ty Böhmen skall fallaKönigsmarcks lag, låt den stiftas i PragDränkt i blod, som svenskarna slår sig framGör onda dådGer ingen nådErövrat stadens borg, en masslakt utan sorgNär de plundrat, bränt och skändat/skövlat på dess torgOndTill märgenBrådTill slaktenDödEn står å vänter över bronStaden står kvarPå Karlsbron tog stridslyckan slutFör män(För de män)Som kämpat så hårtGenom eldDe plundrat och gått framSom ingen annan manSom ingen annan kanSlaget om staden vid Vltavas strandDär kriget bröt ut och där det tog slutI trettio år har kriget krävt sin rättFör de soldaten som svor edenFör de åtta miljoner som har mist sitt livFinns det ingen tröst i fredenEnglish:While Europe speak of peace, all other battles ceaseThere's a man who aims for more than he can reachBlood,All overPragueOn fireBurnAll of Bohemia set ablazeStand on their ownThe road to the city has been blockedDenied(They're denied)To enter the gatesThough they tried(Though they tried)When Prague was called to armsThey fought them on the bridgeTheir freedom was at stakeStand and fight, the city is burningKönigsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most.Stained by blood, their brothers die side by sideDid what they couldDied where they stoodTheir city has been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashedAs the cannons crush the walls, the city shakesFearIs spreadingHateIncreasingDeathAnd pain is all that Sweden broughtRise and strike backThe walls of the city has been breachedReclaimed(They're reclaimed)On that very nightUnsustained(Unsustained)They did it on their ownThey fought them on the bridgeTheir freedom was at stakeUnconquered city on Vltavas shoreStart of the conflict and end of the warUnconquered city on Vltavas shoreIs protected by its peopleAnd thirty years ago the war begunIt has returned to where it started
