Sabaton - Ruina Imperii (Lyrics Svenska & English)

After the sudden death of King Charles XII in Norway it fell on Lieutenant General Carl Gustaf Armfeldt to lead the remaining 5800 soldiers back to Sweden. When they tried to cross the mountain Öjfjället the army was caught by a blizzard. In this disaster, known as the "Carolean Death March" (Karolinernas dödsmarsch), 3700 men froze to death. "The Great Northern War is over. And thus ends Sweden's era of just over one hundred years as a great power in Europe, never to return." (from the Carolus Rex liner notes) CAUTION! I won't tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work. "No, we don't glorify anything, we just tell stories about things that have happened." (Rikard Sundén, founding member of Sabaton) Please support Sabaton and purchase their current album Carolus Rex.
