Gott mit uns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spent the night in formation
To the battle we marched in the dawn
We were ready to die for our king
On the fields of Breitenfeld
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fire at will
Aim for their cannons
Counter attack
Thunder of guns
[Chorus]
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
[Post-Chorus]
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
[Verse 2]
On September the seventh
We filled their hearts with fear
Seven times they attacked on that day
Seven times they retreated
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cavalry charge
Follow that banner
After the king
Freedom we bring
[Chorus]
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
[Post-Chorus]
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Breaking their lines
Thousands of soldiers
Run for their lives
Legends arise
[Chorus]
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
[Post-Chorus]
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
The Caroleanâs Prayer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far beyond their nations' borders
There's an army on the march
For religion, king, and glory
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
[Verse 2]
Taking orders from the heavens
Through hostile fire they will march
Unaffected by the volleys
Facing death their faith will keep their fear at bay
[Chorus]
Into battle facing the fire
Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand
For their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
[Verse 3]
Morale and discipline unites them
A common faith to keep them strong
Always on their way to heaven
In the name of Christ, their enemies chastise
[Chorus]
Into battle facing the fire
Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand
For their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
[Bridge]
Fader vÄr, som Àr i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja
SÄsom i himmelen sÄ och uppÄ jorden
Ge oss bröd och idag
Och förlÄt oss vÄran skuld
Ahead, facing the lead
An army of Swedes, performing God's deeds
Showing no fear, their judgement is near
Making their sacrifice
When the king and his men
Their enemies sight, prepare for the fight
Banners held high, ready to die
Hear how they praise the Lord
[Chorus]
Into battle facing the fire
Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand
For their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes
Caroleans are marching on
[Outro]
Fader vÄr, som Àr i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja
SÄsom i himmelen sÄ och uppÄ jorden
Ge oss bröd och idag
Och förlÄt oss vÄran skuld
Fader vÄr, som Àr i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja
SÄsom i himmelen sÄ och uppÄ jorden
Ge oss bröd och idag
Och förlÄt oss vÄran skuld
Fader vÄr, som Àr i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja
SÄsom i himmelen sÄ och uppÄ jorden
Ge oss bröd och idag
Och förlÄt oss vÄran skuld
Fader vÄr, som Àr i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja
SÄsom i himmelen sÄ och uppÄ jorden
Ge oss bröd och idag
Och förlÄt oss vÄran skuld
Carolus Rex Lyrics
10 ContributorsCarolus Rex LyricsAll embrace me, it's my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting to sit upon my throne
No allegiance I will swear no oath
Crowned by God not by the church as my power is divine
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time has come
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies, see Carolus rise
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
To the skies, see Carolus rise
Proved in battle, led my men to victory
No man alive or dead commands me, I answer to the Lord
Hear my orders, question me and die
What I say was said in heaven, and so it shall be done
I know I was destined to rule alone
All for myself I have claimed the throne
Born to rule
My time is now
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies, see Carolus rise
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
To the skies, see Carolus rise
All 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 done
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time is now
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies, see Carolus rise
To the skies
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
To the skies, see Carolus rise
Killing Ground Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Frozen ground
Ride with the wind
Emerge from the gunsmoke like demons
Rehnskiöld's men
Charging their flanks
The enemy trembles with fear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
One by one the Saxons disband
Or die where they stand
[Chorus]
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt turns
[Verse 2]
(Fall in line)
Battle formations
(Show no fear)
Riding them down
(Break their will)
Show them no mercy
Caroleans attack
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Round them up, look into their eyes
They beg for their lives
[Chorus]
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt turns
[Bridge]
See the Caroleans standing tall
All for one and one for all
Enemies fall at their feet
Begging for their mercy
See the Caroleans standing tall
Conquer lands and slaughter all
Enemies fall at their feet
Victory and great defeat
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
One by one the Saxons disband
Or die where they stand
[Chorus]
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt turns
[Chorus]
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt turns
Long Live the King Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their heart?
Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream fall apart?
[Pre-Chorus]
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
[Chorus]
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand
Long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland
Long live Carolus Rex
[Verse 2]
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
What will be uncovered, from that cold November night?
Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to light?
[Pre-Chorus]
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
[Chorus]
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand
Long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland
Long live Carolus Rex
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
For their honor
For their glory
For the men who fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
[Chorus]
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand
Long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland
Long live Carolus Rex
[Chorus and Spoken Outro]
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand
Long live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live
Carolus Rex!
