======== Carolus Rex LYRICS =======

Ny tid nalkas, denna tid går mot sitt slut
Hela Stockholm se mig krönas, kanoner skjut salut

Ingen ed avlagd, ingen ed jag svär
Kronan kommer ej från kyrkan, den kom direkt ifrån gud

Bevisat min styrka genom strid
Född att regera, att föra krig
Knä om knä
Min tid är här

Över Norden jag härskar
Med det arv som jag fick/gavs
Gång på gång, sjung Carolus sång
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång, sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång, sjung Carolus sång

Född att härska, leda mina män i strid
Ingen man kan mig befalla, jag lyder under Gud

Hör min order, ifrågasätt mig ej
Vet att sådan är min vilja, och därvid skall det ske

Sida vid sida uti strid
Med karoliner går jag i krig
Knä om knä
Min tid är här/dö i mitt namn

Allt jag ser, vill ha mer, vem skall stoppa mig?
Hela Europa skall böja sig för min armé
(vad är ditt)/Allting ditt, skall bli mitt, då jag dräper dig (du hindrar mig ej)
Min vilja ske

========= Historic Fact ==========

Forget Ikea, Sabaton singing Carolus Rex in Swedish in Stockholm is the most Swedish thing I can think of.

When it's your fifteenth birthday.

*FIFTEEN YEARS HAVE I BEEN WAITING TO SIT UPON MY THRONE*

I'm in the middle of translating this song from Swedish to Latin. Would be cool to send it to Sabaton once I finish it.

[tejesedeny]

The fact this song is about Swedish history, performed by a Swedish band in Swedish language + Apocalyptica's freakin epic chellos and the enthusiasm of the corwd just gives me goosebumps. And I'm not even Swedish. There's always some magic when a band plays in their home country in their mother tongue.

Huge respect from Poland. We were prout to be your enemies.

[dustyrhodes]

I don't understand a single word, and yet this sounds more badass than the English version.

[Minotaur-eylg]

Next I want every Swedish metal band you can find on stage, a giant metal orchestra and choir singing this song.

[CT-Clone]

One of the greatest Swedish kings in history. Proud to be a resident of Sweden's overseas neighbouring country!

[zuzannatasarz]

I started learning Swedish last year, I got into Sabaton a few months later, and nothing was a better surprise in 2021 than realizing that those guys are from Sweden and have in fact recorded a *whole album of songs all in Swedish*. Best way to learn new words <3

[sergeymashanov]

SABATON's songs in Swedish have their own charm...

В песнях Сабатона на шведском языке есть своя прелесть...

[BlondMysz]

This made me decide to learn swedish. I'm sure that english version isn't exactly the same as the swedish one. I need to feel the real power of this song!

[RiotHRC]

ive never seen cellos and that kind of drummer in a concert like this, but by god its metal as fuck. Sabaton is probably the most metal no fucks given band ever

[ethanopia]

Me: sees sabaton video uploaded

Also me: I am speeed

[Teawby]

The audio engineer setting up these drums deserves so much respect!

[iamReddington]

What amazes me is that I don't understand Swedish, yet I am still following along and know exactly where they are in the song.

[charlesthepolishcow]

I really love the swedish versions, more than the english ones. I´m actually learning swedish and everyone ask me why because is not as used as others, and I´m just like, because sabaton lol. great and beautiful song btw, if you guys could upload a live version of en livstid I krig would be awesome, that song is so amazing

[mikewhicker]

Was just listening to sabaton when the notification came through. Uprising had just started (literally)
Hope everyone's had as good a week as can be expected.

[dxempire]

I love that Apocalyptica is kitted out with their own custom Sabaton gear!

[severimansikkamaki]

Gives me goosebumps every time, The Price Of A Mile from Helsinki is also magical, I spotted myself from that video
