1648 (Swedish version)
Sabaton
1648 (American version)
Europe seeks peace and no one else fought
Generals from the north marched to the deed
(Evil)
They plunder
(Hasty)
They rape
(Death)
See all of Bohemia in flames
A city remains
An army must satisfy its mouth
For battle
It plunders its way
No peace
When Königsmarck advances
Like no other man
Like no other can
Fire and murder for Bohemia to fall
Königsmarck's law let it be established in Prague
Drenched in blood as the Swedes make their way
Committing evil deeds
Showing no mercy
Conquered the city's castle, a massacre without sorrow
After they plundered, burned, and ravaged its square
(Evil)
To the marrow
(Hasty)
To the slaughter
(Death)
One stands and waits over the bridge
The city remains
On Charles Bridge, the battle luck ran out
For those
Who fought so hard
Through fire
They plundered and advanced
Like no other man
Like no other can
Fire and murder for Bohemia to fall
Königsmarck's law let it be established in Prague
Drenched in blood as the Swedes make their way
Committing evil deeds
Showing no mercy
The battle for the city at the Vltava's shore
Where the war broke out and where it ended
For thirty years, the war has claimed its right
For the soldier who swore the oath
For the eight million who have lost their lives
There is no solace in peace
An army must satisfy its mouth
For battle
It plunders its way
No peace
When Königsmarck advances
Like no other man
Like no other can
Fire and murder for Bohemia to fall
Königsmarck's law let it be established in Prague
Drenched in blood as the Swedes make their way
Committing evil deeds
Showing no mercy
