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
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

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
You lion from the north
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
