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 augusta!

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 augusta!

Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera!

Acerbus et ingens, go forth, libera, impera!

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 augusta!

Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera!

Acerbus et ingens, go forth, libera, impera!
