Poltava (English Version)

Sabaton · Carolus Rex (English Version) [2012]

Time has worn the soldiers down

Marched for many miles

In the eastern lands so cursed

Time to make a stand



Tsar has scorched his nations land

Nothing to be found

Hunger grasp the soldiers heart

20 000 strong



Listen excuse for a king

Trust me this fight you can't win



Poltava

Rode to certain death and pain

Poltava

Swedish soldiers met their bane

Poltava

Sacrificed their lives in vain

Poltava



In the shape of morning mist

Advancing on their foe

Bullets break the silent air

Wasted battleplan



Swedish forces stand alone

King has left command

Rule is left to lesser man

Waiting for their chance



Listen obey my command

Hear me or die by my hand



Poltava

Rode to certain death and pain

Poltava

Swedish soldiers met their bane

Poltava

Sacrificed their lives in vain

Poltava



Russian armies blocked their way

20 000 lost that day

They bled the ground

Peace they found

There's no sign of victory

King Carolus had to flee

And leave the land

Leave command



Madness curse your feeble horde

Fear me you'll die by my sword



Poltava

Rode to certain death and pain

Poltava

Swedish soldiers met their bane

Poltava

Sacrificed their lives in vain
