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

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

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

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
To the skies, see Carolus rise

With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
