========= Ruina Imperii LYRICS ==========

Budet kom på en kall vinternatt
Carolus finns ej mer

Hemåt fränder

Över fjäll, genom bitande köld går marschen
De går med sänkta huvuden

Återvänder

Död, vänter Armfeldt och män
Död, kungens män, vänder hemåt igen

Fränder, bröder, vår stormaktstid är över
Vårt rike blöder, fanan står i brand
Aldrig, aldrig, aldrig återvända
Svea stormaktstid till ända

Ambition och en strikt religion
Drev svensken uti krig

Hårda tider

För sitt land, tog han vapen i hand
Ett liv för rikets väl

Karoliner

Krig, givit allt vi förmår
Krig, dödens år, satt sitt spår, vi består

De togs förgivet
Bragda om livet
Vem lät det hända
Stormaktstid till ända

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

Following the death of Sweden’s King Charles XII (Carolus Rex), 6,000 of his Carolean troops marched across Norway’s Tydal mountains to get home. This resulted in almost two thirds of the men freezing to death on their journey – one of the most tragic losses of life to ever befall the Swedish Army.

Many of us may not speak Swedish, but you get the raw emotion of this masterpiece which is the most important part

[squiggles]

Word came on a cold winter night, Carolus is no more.
Homeward, kinsmen.
Over mountains, through biting cold they march.
They go with lowered heads.
Returning.

Death, awaits Armfeldt and his men.
Death, the king's men, turning home once again.

Kinsmen, brothers.
Our time as a great power is over.
Our kingdom is bleeding.
The standard is burning.
Never, never, never to return.
Sweden's time as a great power has come to an end.

Ambition and strict religion drove the Swede out to war.
Hard times.
For his country he took weapon in hand, a life for the kingdom's wellbeing.
Caroleans.

War, given all that we can.
War, the year of death, made it's mark, we endure.

Kinsmen, brothers.
Our time as a great power is over.
Our kingdom is bleeding.
The standard is burning.
Never, never, never to return.
Sweden's time as a great power has come to an end.

Kinsmen, brothers.
Our time as a great power is over.

[They were taken for granted]
[They lost their lives]
[Who let it happen]
[Time as a great power at an end]

Our kingdom is bleeding.
The standard is burning.

[They were taken for granted]
[They lost their lives]
[Who let it happen]
[Time as a great power at an end]

Never, never, never to return.
Sweden's time as a great power has come to an end.

Only Sabaton can make you feel patriotic for a country that isn't yours

[muhammedkassemafyouni]

Carolus Rex is definitely Sabaton's most underrated album, Ruina Imperii, En Livstid I Krig and Poltava are literal masterpieces.

Masterpiece ❤ first time I’ve heard this work of art I was only 16, now I’m 27. Sabaton for life ❤️

[MaestroArman]

Hej alla, Jag är från Ryssland, Jag har känt Sabaton-bandet länge och jag vill säga att jag verkligen gillar deras arbete. En mycket stark låt som väcker en känsla av patriotism mot ett land jag inte ens har varit i. Jag lyssnar på hela Carolus Rex (svenska) album och många andra spår på repeat. Stor respekt och respekt för Sabaton-gruppen. Du är cool.❤💪👍
Lycka till och fred till alla.Jag använde en översättare, jag ber om ursäkt om han översatte något felaktigt.

Hello everyone, I'm from Russia, I've known the Sabaton band for a long time and I want to say that I really like their work. A very strong song that evokes a sense of patriotism towards a country I haven't even been to. I listen to the entire Carolus Rex (Swedish) album and many other tracks on repeat. Great respect and respect to the Sabaton group. You're cool. Good luck and peace to all.
I used a translator, I apologize if he translated something incorrectly.❤️💪👍

WE’RE MARCHING ACROSS THE TYDAL MOUNTAINS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[RobertTheDasher]

One of the best of your songs in my opinion even though I don’t speak any Swedish. It really sucks how underrated this is, it’s such a good song.

[nikolaiorr]

The Swedish Guard, absolutely badass right from creation and formation to the end of their entire reign. Carolus Rex, fking legend. Yet another 🔥 song from sabaton. Love it

[ThumperE]

I love this song off Carolus Rex; once I looked into it, the way they wrote it made sense. I can almost see the troops singing this as they march over the frozen mountain passes home.

[picilekio]

Not so long ago I was translating Ruina Imperii into Russian. And then my favorite musicians are releasing this. Thank You! Greetings from Belarus.

[dylanreeves]

The fact that there isnt an english version already implies a lot and im really glad there isnt

[lememz]

me when I see my bank account at the end of the month:

[zarkopetrovic]

Nijedna pesma u zadnjih nekoliko godina me nije oduševila kao ova. Slušam je svaki dan više puta. Hvala Bogu da postoji Sabaton🤟🏻🇸🇪❤️🇷🇸

[polishmapper]

If Sweden declares war on me one more goddamn time in Civ 6 they're going to be singing this song

[LAV-III]

To quote someone else. The Swedish empire never died, it just became IKEA.

[Foxia]

Swedish kings deserves a movie like Napoleon got! There is a lot of story to reveal and for a dramatic and enotional movie at the same time. Showing it all in just truth and veing careful of course.

[adameriksson]

I'm Swedish and it makes me very happy to hear these songs about my country.

[phillyswift]

I'm a chinese person and I would love to see a song dedicated to the chinese army during the second world war sometime, but until then, keep up the bangers sabaton!

[FoxThePolak]

You know you really like the song when you understand the lyrics even though you dont speak swedish 💀
