The Lion From The North - Lyrics - Sabaton

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!)
