Verse 1 In the frost of Narva’s night, Two armies met, prepared to fight, The storm rolled in, the winds did howl, As the Swedish lines began to growl. Through the blinding snow, they marched ahead, Brave Karoliner, hearts like lead, With bayonets drawn, they stormed the ground, While Russian hopes were lost, unwound. Chorus Oh, the shadows danced on icy plains, In the heart of battle, where glory wanes, A storm of steel, a tide of fear, In the ruins of pride, their fate draws near. The echoes of war, the silence of pain, In the shadows of Narva, all that remains. Verse 2 The blizzards swept the vision clear, While the enemy faltered, swallowed by fear, Their shots went wild, their aim betrayed, As the Karoliner surged, unafraid. Across the moats, through the fray, The spirit of valor led the way, But chaos reigned as courage fell, On that fateful night, where time stood still. Chorus Oh, the shadows danced on icy plains, In the heart of battle, where glory wanes, A storm of steel, a tide of fear, In the ruins of pride, their fate draws near. The echoes of war, the silence of pain, In the shadows of Narva, all that remains. Bridge General Dolgorukov stood, a shattered line, With hope turned to whispers, fate redefined, The bridges broke beneath their weight, As despair took hold, sealing their fate. The colors fell, the banners down, In the haunting silence, a broken crown. Verse 3 They fled like shadows in the night, While Swedish warriors held their might, With heavy hearts, the victors sighed, For even in triumph, the world had cried. Bound hands of Karl, a victory marred, As the remnants of glory lay scarred. In the aftermath, the silence grew, In the echoes of Narva, what did we do? Chorus Oh, the shadows danced on icy plains, In the heart of battle, where glory wanes, A storm of steel, a tide of fear, In the ruins of pride, their fate draws near. The echoes of war, the silence of pain, In the shadows of Narva, all that remains. Outro So let the whispers tell the tale, Of valor lost and hearts grown pale, In the chilling winds, hear the mournful sigh, For in victory’s wake, we learn to die. In the shadows of Narva, forever to stay, A melancholic echo of yesterday.
