I look around and see my home disappear

My time back home now feels way too short

Just a youth, barely a man when duty called me

If I'll see my home again, I just don't know

With kinsmen from my village, I went to war

And the world burned

'Cause war, it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my fatherland

But who misses me?

So see me as the one

A husband, a friend

Father and son who'll never come home

But who mourns me?

Went to war for Sweden, was baptized in blood

Out there awaits death, not heroism

In fields where kinsmen fall, no song is heard

Challenging our fates, yet again

Far from home

Baptized and to die in battle

And the world burned

'Cause war, it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my fatherland

But who misses me?

So see me as the one

A husband, a friend

Father and son who'll never come home

But who mourns me?

And when my time has run out

Who cares then?

They fight on

Does a soldier get a worthy end?

To fall asleep

To fade away

And never awaken

'Cause war, it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my fatherland

But who misses me?

So see me as the one

A husband, a friend

Father and son who'll never come home

But who mourns me?

'Cause war, it can

Destroy a man

I give my life for my fatherland

But who misses me?

So see me as the one

A husband, a friend

Father and son who'll never come home

But who mourns me?

('Cause war, it can

Destroy a man)
