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.

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.

I'm starting to think every power metal song would be more epic with a Latin chorus

I can believe all you swedish complain about your country, dont you se how the 3rd world looks like. Here in México many people had died tanks to the crime lords, in the most horrible ways. The gov. Dont want to do something about it because they had business whith them and/or trow alot of cash to the autorities and the autorities let them free. If someone Wants to do something positive here not body here them at best.The educación its a joke and 3/5of the populacion its poor.But still i see hope in my country, there are very brave mexicans how had start to show that we can do anything, we are not idiots, my people can survive any situación and keep goingMéxico has well had alot of beauty, and amazing history, and marvelous food. If more people in my country realize this tings we may not be a slave country from the americansSee swedish even i love my country, yes there is ALOT of things to do. But you dont see me crying and bitching about itSo please for does swedish how canot realize how amazing your country is. Its because you had never live in a actual 3rd word contry or a warzone country like Israel
