Carolus Rex Lyrics
All 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
[Spoken words by Joakim Brodén:]
Framåt Karoliner
Fiendens dom är här
Låt oss krossa dom
Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
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
It's my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting
To sit upon my throne
I will swear no oath
Crowned by God not by the church
As my power is divine
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time has come
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
See Carolus rise
Led my men to victory
No man alive or dead commands me
I answer to the Lord
Question me and die
What I say was said in heaven
And so it shall be done
All for myself I have claimed the throne
Born to rule
My time is now
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
See Carolus rise
Framåt Karoliner
Fiendens dom är här
Låt oss krossa dom
Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
Shall be mine
There's no stopping me
All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none
Give to me,
That is my decree
My will be done
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time is now
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See Carolus rise
To the skies
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See Carolus rise

This is obviously about Charles XII, a Swedish King. Carolus Rex is the latinized name.
The band recently got to play at the castle where Carolus Rex died, along with the Swedish Empire.

They were pretty humble about it.

Charles XII was killed in Norway, supposedly by an assassin over the debacle of invading Russia.

The part where its not english, i typed what i could in Google Translator and it says "the Carolinians enemy they crush us thy throw them out through the hell gates", but it would make more sense if we had the offical lyrics for that part.
It is: Framåt Karoliner (Forward Caroleans) Fiendens dom är här (The enemy is here!) Låt oss krossa dom (Crush them!) Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar (Throw them through the gates of Hell!)

Ok I just listened to a lyric video on Youtube and the part that isn't english actually says "Onward Caroleans The enemy is here Let's crush them Throw them out through the gates of hell"
