Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the lands of the north, where the cold winds blow,
Lived a sergeant old, in fields of snow,
Nine children by his side, the youngest one named Sven,
With a heart of a lion, though he struggled like all men.
(Pre-Chorus)
In the fields he worked, with his hands so strong,
Every task he took, somehow it went wrong,
But his spirit never broke, though his path was tough,
Dreaming of the day, he'd prove he was enough.
(Chorus)
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, heed the call of war,
For the king and land, fight like never before,
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, let your courage show,
With your heart so true, to the battle you will go.
(Verse 2)
"Father, I shall fight, for the freedom of our land,"
The old man laughed, but took his son's hand,
"Sven, my boy, you’ll stumble, but stand tall and brave,
For in this world of chaos, it’s the bold we save."
(Pre-Chorus)
Training day and night, with a spirit undimmed,
In the ranks of Duncker, though his skills seemed grim,
Yet his heart was steadfast, and his resolve was clear,
Ready for the moment, when the enemy drew near.
(Bridge)
At the river's edge, when the enemy advanced,
Sven stood alone, took his battle stance,
One man on the bridge, holding back the tide,
With a heart of steel, and warriors by his side.
(Chorus)
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, heed the call of war,
For the king and land, fight like never before,
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, let your courage show,
With your heart so true, to the battle you will go.
(Guitar Solo)
(Outro)
Now he lays at peace, his fight forever done,
A hero of the north, his story just begun,
"Not much for brains," they said, "but his heart was grand,"
Sven Dufva, the brave, for the love of his land.
(Chorus)
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, heed the call of war,
For the king and land, fight like never before,
Rise, rise, Sven Dufva, let your courage show,
With your heart so true, to the battle you will go.
