Kung Bore, by Änglagård, PART 2

From their 1992 album, Hybris. Here are the lyrics, the original version in swedish and the english version:

ENGLISH VERSION:
King Winter

In the light from my lantern
I see the shadow of sorrow,
in dreams that have been extinguished
from a life that has had its time.
I cannot stand and watch
while we flee
reality and truths,
where morality is fantasy.

It is you who chooses
it is you that swallows
their fairy tales and lies and flattery.

Is it true that they who speak
loud, strong and right
also plant dead flowers?
Then it cannot be easy
for a human to believe
that God, he is great,
when silence spreads
in the house where she lives.

It is you that chooses,
it is you that swallows,
their fairy tales and lies and flattery.

"King Winter" is dead
and Spring, the newly elected,
is the people's hero.
Visions are born,
and it is time to populate
their castles in the clouds.
Life's panorama,
a hallucination, I have
longed for so tremendously.
Give me a view
into the land of dreams,
only then will I be happy.

SWEDISH VERSION:

I ljuset frn min lykta
ser jag skuggan utav sorg,
drmmar som har slocknat
ifrn ett liv som haft sin tid.
Inte kan jag st och se p
d vi flyr,
verklighet och sanningar
dr moralen r fantasi.

Det r ju du sjlv som vljer,
det r ju du sjlv som svljer,
deras sagor och lgner och fjsk.

r det sant att ven de som talar
hgt starkt och rtt
planterar dda blommor?
D kan det inte vara ltt
fr mnniskan att tro
p Gud att han r stor,
nr tystnaden breder ut sig
i huset dr hon bor.

Det r ju du sjlv som vljer,
det r ju du sjlv som svljer,
deras sagor och lgner och fjsk.

Kung Bore r dd
och vren, den nyvalde r folkets hjlte.
Visioner fds
och det r dags att befolka
sina massiva luftslott.
Livets panorama,
hallucination, jag har
lngtat ngot s grnslst.
Ge mig evig insyn
in i drmmarnas land,
frst d blir jag lycklig.

Enjoy it!!
