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



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

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

Take the scepter from its hand

Take the scepter from its hand

Take the scepter from its hand 

(Oh oh oh you lion from the north

Ooh you lion from the north)



Legends have taught battles fought

This lion has no fear at heart



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)
