Fading North

(Verse 1) Once a land of midnight sun, where the forests whispered peace, Now the streets are trembling, and the sorrows never cease. From the shores of Gävle's coast to Stockholm’s fading light, Shadows creep where laughter once would dance into the night. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the echoes of the past, they’re screaming through the years, Trading trust for trembling, trading hope for tears. (Chorus) Sweden’s falling, can’t you hear the sound? Bullets flying, bombs hit the ground. The North once strong, now breaking apart, A nation’s soul, a wounded heart. (Verse 2) Children play in fields no more, their innocence betrayed, By the hands of hatred, in the games the wicked played. From the markets to the schools, the fear begins to grow, A land of peace now haunted by the seeds it didn’t sow. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the flags are flying low, the colors fade to gray, What was built in love is crumbling away. (Chorus) Sweden’s falling, can’t you hear the sound? Bullets flying, bombs hit the ground. The North once strong, now breaking apart, A nation’s soul, a wounded heart. (Bridge) Where are the heroes, where are the brave? Will no one rise to fight the wave? The clock is ticking, the hour is near, Will you stand or live in fear? (Verse 3) But in the darkest hours, a spark begins to glow, A people tired of the pain, refusing to let go. From the ashes, voices rise, a song of hope and pride, To reclaim the land they love, with the strength they have inside. (Chorus) Sweden’s rising, can’t you hear the sound? Hearts are beating, hope’s unbound. The North will heal, though scarred and torn, A nation’s spirit, reborn. (Outro) Oh, Sweden, stand tall, through the storm and the flame, The world will remember your name. From the ruins, you’ll find your way, And the light will return to stay.
