Translation: A time ruled by darkness and war, A legend describes a lion The beast takes the form of a man With a dream that it will come true For all who stand in his way, Waiting for death, for he gives no mercy With a mighty army from the north , In battle, this time, to war The legend has prophesied, yellow and blue, He does not fear sword or shot Lion advance, in gunpowder and dust, In gunpowder and dust Gustavus! Adolphus! (Gustavus Adolphus step forward, libera, impera) Libera et impera! Acerbus et ingens! (Acerbus et ingens go forward, libera, impera) Augusta per augusta When the storm has reached Europe, Evil sudden death, devastating carnage Then take the power from the emperor's hand, The Catholics leave their country The future of the art of war is here, Light the way, their sons shall walk As the lion leads an army, In battle, this time, to war The legend that died, the death of the eagle, It is scalded in the heat of hell King came forth, beast or man, Beast or man On a battlefield, baptized in blood Shall they meet evil and good Eagle and lion, claw to tooth Set the world on fire Oh oh oh oh as the world burned To see how a legend comes true.
