STUDIO

[Intro]
The King is dead
The flags have all been lowered
And something we have always known
Is suddenly over

[Verse 1]
Some people wear a crown
And let it set their lives apart
You carried yours with dignity
And never let it change your heart
There was kindness in your manner
Quiet humour in your tone
You could stand before a nation
And still speak to each alone

[Pre-Chorus]
You knew what duty asked of you
And gave more than it took
You never stood above us
You met us where we stood

[Chorus]
The King is dead
And Nor-way mourns as one
You were there when we needed you
When every word was gone
You reminded us who we are
And who we still could be
You gave your all for Nor-way
Now she mourns, Your Majesty

[Verse 2]
You spoke for those who wondered
If this country called them home
For every faith and every love
For those too long unknown
You made belonging something
No birth or name could own
A nation is its people
And no one stands alone

[Pre-Chorus]
You showed us strength could still be warm
That power could still care
And when the worst had happened
You were already there

[Bridge]
You chose love before convention
And service over ease
You kept the oath you once had given
For as long as you could breathe
Not every crown is carried
With a heart the people see
Yours belonged upon a man
Who made us feel that we belonged to thee

[Instrumental Break]

[Build]
Now the words we learned as children
Carry more than they did before
Ja, vi elsker dette landet
And the King who gave his all

[Final Chorus]
The King is dead
And Nor-way mourns as one
A steady hand, a gentle smile
A trusted voice that now is gone
You reminded us who we are
And who we ought to be
You gave your all for Nor-way
Now she mourns, Your Majesty

[Outro]
Fare thee well, Harald
Thy promise has been kept
Alt for Norge
Unto thy final breath
