Blow your trumpets, let the feast begin.
Sing for us minstrels tonight.
Let the
coronation shimmer and shine
in the golden
sun so bright.
In a velvet mantle he
takes the oath:
[Birger:]
-I will
protect and serve my homeland
in the name
of our lord.
Stand by me and we will
prevail.
[The crowd:]
-Hail!
Remember the words of the old and
wise
about what's wrong and what's
right.
Do you know greed's face, the tongue
of the snake
or the shades of black and
white?
Receive the crown
and
wear it with pride.
With it comes more than
just the glory and gold.
Embrace the task
to stand by our side.
Fight for our
freedom with the powers you now hold.
