    Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632), also known by his Latinized name "Gustavus Adolphus Magnus" was King of Sweden from 1611 until his death. With the aid of his Lord High Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna, he successfully fought wars against Denmark, Russia and Poland. In 1628 he intervened in the Thirty Years War on the Protestant side. The year 1631 saw him bring the Catholic imperial army to a bitter defeat at Breitenfeld near Leipzig, thus turning the tide of the war. In Nuremberg, Gustav Adolf opposed the imperial generalissimo Wallenstein for the first time. After the indecisive battle, Wallenstein moved north to avoid further conflict, but was followed and in November of 1632 the Battle of Lützen took place. Gustavus Adolphus was killed while leading a cavalry charge.
    German Protestants soon idealized the king as their heroic savior and he became known by the names "Der Löwe aus Mitternacht" (The Lion of Midnight) and "The Lion of the North".
    The name of the intro "Dominium Maris Baltici" is the Latin name of Gustav Adolf's primary aim, the dominion of the Baltic Sea.
    Swedish version: • Sabaton - Lejonet Från...
    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)

    ----------
    Gustav II. Adolf (1594-1632), auch bekannt unter seinem lateinischen Namen "Gustavus Adolphus Magnus" war von 1611 bis zu seinem Tod König von Schweden. Zusammen mit Reichskanzler Axel Oxenstierna führte er erfolgreiche Kriege gegen Dänemark, Russland und Polen, im Jahre 1628 griff er erstmals auf Seiten der Protestanten in den Dreißigjährigen Krieg ein. 1631 schlug er die kaiserlich-katholische Armee bei Breitenfeld in der Nähe von Leipzig vernichtend, was dem Krieg eine neue Wendung gab. In Nürnberg traf Gustav Adolf zum ersten Mal auf den kaiserlichen Generalissimus Wallenstein. Nach dem ergebnislosen Gefecht wich Wallenstein nach Norden aus, im November 1632 kam es bei Lützen zur Schlacht, in der Gustav Adolf aus nächster Nähe von einer Kugel getroffen wurde und starb.
    Von den deutschen Protestanten wurde der König schon bald zum heroischen Retter idealisiert, er war bekannt unter den Namen "Der Löwe aus Mitternacht" und "Der Löwe aus dem Norden".
    Der Name des als Intro verwendeten "Dominium Maris Baltici" ist die lateinische Bezeichnung von Gustav Adolfs Hauptziel, der schwedischen Herrschaft über den Ostseeraum.
    ACHTUNG!
    Ich dulde keine rassistischen, diskriminierenden oder in sonstiger Form unangemessene Kommentare! Dieses Lied verherrlicht weder Krieg, noch den Nationalsozialismus, sondern ist rein historisch zu betrachten!

      Eetu Palo You need to study more history then. Nationalism is the reason half the world is Independent from the European Empires now. Without nationalism there is no competition between nations and without competition no advances are made and we might just as well be a tribal society. While some historians argue that nationalism is a relatively new idea i would argue different before nations people were loyal to their lord or king, before that their tribe, the bottom line is that people will always prefer their group over another it's in our nature and Nation is just a more advanced tribe. Nationalism isn't the desire for other too fail but the desire for your country to succeed. It is not the belive that you are better is your desire to be better. What happened in Nazi Germany was not nationalism but Fascism, same fundamental core but very different in practice.

      ***** He was very successful. He conquered most of Germany, turned the tide in the 30 years war, introduced modern warfare, conquered/liberasted hundreds of cities in Germany, conquered Riga and Livland, Kexholm and Ingria and defeated the undefeated Tilly for example. He was very beloved by the german population and he did not die/lose because of a tactical mistake or a betrayal.

      Well, in France there was Gallicanism, which meant that technically the Pope was the head of the church, but the French king controlled all the religious routines, such as investiture, church taxation, etc. In other words, France had no religious motivatiuon in supporting the Protestants, instead, they just used the conflict to gain advantages against the Habsburg dynasty.

      Balagergo indeed, back then the HRE was still the major force of europe, or at least one of the three major powers with France and England, but since France was just coming out from its own religious wars, with the Edict of Nantes, it was a tad bit weakened, so when they saw the opportunity the 30 years war to weaken the Habsburg even more, they left religion in the lockers and helped the protestants. As a result, France then became the major power of Europe for the following century.

      It stopped being a religious war when France joined the war on Sweden's side. Cardinal Richelieu has always wanted to bring an end to the Habsburg reign even though both parties were catholic. Plus the mightiest and most competent commander in the whole war, Albrecht von Wallenstein (served Kaiser Ferdinand II) had lots of protestant officers in his army.

      it could have been also successful and gain us independence from oppression already back then, but the swedish speaking fucks in our ranks turned against us and joined the swedish forces, there was also a fleet of other traitors in the whole deal.
      leader of the rebellion Jaakko Ilkka's limbs were broken with a club, his arms and legs were cut off and finally his head, and his body was placed on a wheel on top of a pole as a reminder to others not to resist the swedish oppressors.
      the swedish even went to the point to ban our language from being spoken, the reason why anyone who thought better of them selves learned to speak swedish and especially everyone who was even slightly wealthier spoke swedish even after we gained independence from russia.

    "The Father of Modern War, Gustavus Adolphus almost certainly was not. But he may very well have been the Father of the Modern World. Because then, at that place, at the moment when the Saxons broke and the Inquisition bade fair to triumph over all of Europe, the king of Sweden stood his ground and proved, once again, that the truth of history is always concrete. At that instant, history pivoted on the soul of one man. His name was Gustavus Adolphus, and there were those among his followers who thought him the only monarch in Europe worthy of the name. They were right, and the man was about to prove it. For one of the few times in human history, royalty was not a lie.
    Two centuries later, long after the concrete set and the truth was obvious to all, a monument would be erected on that field. The passing years, through the bickering and the debates, had settled the meaning of Breitenfeld. The phrase on the monument simply read: freedom of belief for all the world.
    Whatever else he was or was not, Gustavus Adolphus will always be at Breitenfeld. He stands on that field for eternity, just as he did on that day. September 17, 1631.

    Probably Sabaton's greatest song in my opinion. The imagery and story telling of this song is absolutely pristine.
    There's several references to pop culture, three different languages are sung (in the english version alone)...the song is just completely excellent.
    They also manage to capture the horror of war and the uplifting feeling the Protestants must have had at the time (something they do very well with most of there songs)
    One of the best power metal songs every in my opinion.

There is talk of revolt with any groups in the US due to rights being eroded but we still are the freest country in the world but protect what you have. Give them an inch they take a mile. And don't think I'm going against you everyone wants to stay free we are all in the same fight.
