1648

(album: Carolus Rex (English Version) - 2012)

While Europe speaks of peace, all other battles cease
There's a man who aims for more than he can reach

Blood all over!
Prague on fire!
Burn!
All of Bohemia set ablaze
Stand on their own

The road to the city's been blocked, denied
To enter the gates, though they tried
When Prague was called to arms
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood

Their city's been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashed
As the cannons crush the walls, the city shakes

Fear is spreading!
Hate increasing!
Death
And pain is all that Sweden brought
Rise and strike back

The walls of the city's been breached, reclaimed
On that very night, unsustained
They did it on their own
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood

Unconquered city on Vltava's shore
Start of the conflict and end of the war
Unconquered city on Vltava's shore
Is protected by its people
And thirty years ago the war begun
It has returned to where it started

The road to the city's been blocked, denied
To enter the gates, though they tried
When Prague was called to arms
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake

Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood

Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost; stopped him at Karluv Most
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood
