All embrace me it's my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting to sit upon my throneNo allegiance I will swear no oath
Crowned by god not by the church as my power is divineThey thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time has comeI was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the sky see Carolus rise
With a the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the sky see Carolus rise
To the sky see Carolus riseProved in battle led my men to victory
No man alive or dead commands me I answer to the LordHear my orders question me and die
What I say was said in heaven and so it shall be doneI know I was destined to rule alone
All for myself I have claimed the throne
Born to rule
My time is nowI was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the sky see Carolus rise
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the sky see Carolus rise
To the sky see Carolus riseAll that's thine shall be mine there's no stopping me
All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none
All I see give to me that is my decree
My will be doneThey thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time is nowI was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the sky see Carolus rise
To the sky
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the sky see Carolus rise
To the sky see Carolus rise
