(Verse 1)
In the land of Sweden, secrets lie, Citizens betrayed, beneath the sky. A ship goes down, in the darkened sea, Reports distorted, the truth not free.
(Chorus)
They're like snakes, under Kings command, Taking lives in the king's own land. With golden coins, evidence concealed, The truth obscured, forever sealed
.
(Verse 2)
In shadows they dance, a dangerous game, Manipulating facts, deflecting blame. A vessel sank, a nation mourns, Yet the rulers' secrets, in silence, adorns.
(Chorus)
They're like snakes, under Kings command, Taking lives in the king's own land. With golden coins, evidence concealed, The truth obscured, forever sealed.
(Bridge)
But we won't forget, the ones who fell, In the ocean's grasp, a tragic spell. For justice we cry, a chorus loud, In the face of deceit, we stand proud.
(Verse 3)
Money talks, but the people see, Through the smoke, to reality. A serpent's hiss won't drown the truth, In the hearts of the silenced, it finds its booth.
(Chorus)
They're like snakes, under Kings command, Taking lives in the king's own land. With golden coins, evidence concealed, The truth obscured, forever sealed.
(Bridge)
And Finland stands, a partner in deceit, Embracing lies, in this perilous feat. Serpents entwined, in a dance so vile, Truth betrayed, in the rulers' guile.
(Outro)
In this ballad of sorrow, let the echoes ring, For the silenced voices, we'll forever sing. In the face of darkness, truth shall prevail, In the heart of justice, we set sail.
