A 1991 Jan Hammarlund version was changed, to better fit in the era, with a Europe where several communist governments had been overthrown.

At the time, shatterings[clarification needed] and civil wars between ethnic groups and religions affected Europe.

The original 1982 version's lyrics are inspired by the Cold War .
In the 1990s, lyrics were changed to better fit into that era, with ethnical conflicts and streams of refugees.
