A time of religion and war
Legends tell the tale of a lion
This beast in the shape of a man
With a dream to rule sea and land
And all those who stand in his way
Die by God and victorious arms
With the righteous that follows him south
Once more set ashore to war
Legends have taught
Battles fought this lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth come from the north,
Come from the north
Gustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per angusta
A storm over Europe unleashed
Dawn of war a trail of destruction
The power of Rome won't prevail,
See the Catholics shiver and shake
The future of warfare unveiled
Showed the way that we still walk today
Der Löwe aus Mitternacht comes once
More he is here for war
Stories of old
Truth unfold control over Europe he holds
Freedom he'll bring
Lion and king, lion and king
Gustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per angusta
Gustavus Adolphus go forth libera impera
(Gustavus Adolphus Libera et impera)
Acerbus et ingens go forth
Libera impera
(Acerbus et ingens Augusta per augusta)
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter from its hand
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter from its hand
(Oh, oh, oh, you lion from the north,
Oh, you lion from the north)
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter from its hand
Legends have taught
Battles fought this lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north,
Come from the north
Gustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per angusta
Gustavus Adolphus go forth
Libera impera
(Gustavus Adolphus Libera et impera)
Acerbus et ingens go forth libera impera
(Acerbus et ingens Augusta per augusta)
