The Lion From the North Lyrics

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 landAnd 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 warLegends have taught battles fought this lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth come from the north, come from the northGustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per augustaA storm over Europe unleashed dawn of war a trail of destruction
The power of Rome won't prevail, see the Catholics shiver and shakeThe future of warfare unveiled showed the way that we still walk today
Der Löwe aus Mitternacht comes once more he is here for warStories of old truth unfold control over Europe he holds
Freedom he'll bring lion and king, lion and kingGustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per augustaGustavus 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, oh, oh, you lion from the north, oh, you lion from the north)

Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter from its handLegends have taught battles fought this lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north, come from the northGustavus Adolphus, Libera et impera
Acerbus et ingens, Augusta per augustaGustavus Adolphus go forth libera impera (Gustavus Adolphus Libera et impera)
Acerbus et ingens go forth libera impera (Acerbus et ingens Augusta per augusta)
