Sabaton - The Lion From The North

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
Will 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 fort, 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, 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)
