Sabaton — The Lion from the North [Lejonet från Norden]

The Lion from the North [Lejonet från Norden]

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 no-o-o-o-orth
 
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!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens go forth, libera, impera)
Augusta per angusta
 
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter, from its hand (x3)
Oh, oh, oh you lion from the north,
Ooooooooh 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 no-o-o-o-orth
 
Gustavus! Adolphus!
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
Augusta per angusta
 
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens go forth, libera, impera)
Augusta per angusta
