THE CAROLEAN'S PRAYER
(BY SABATON - ALBUM: CAROLUS REX); 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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done,
As it is in heaven on earth
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
-
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
