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!

(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,

(Mighty eagle rule alone

Liberator claim the throne)

Oh, you lion from the north

(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



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!

(Gustavus Adolphus

Libera et impera!)

Acerbus et ingens, go forth, libera, impera!

(Acerbus et ingens

Augusta per augusta!)
