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 Proved in battle Led my men to victory No man alive or dead commands me I answer to the lord Hear my orders Question me and die What I say was said in heaven And so it shall be done I know I was destined to rule alone All for myself I have claimed the throne Born to rule My time is now 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 Framåt Karoliner Fiendens dom är här Låt oss krossa dom Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar 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

Strange that Swedish people still don't know how there king died, he was shot by a bullet made out of a belt buckle, but no one if it was my Swedish solider or Norwegian solider. Hail the greatest köng of Sweden Greets from España
Lord Defector it's Kung in Swedish. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just don't want you saying that to a Swede as Kong is Danish for king and us Swedes would probably see that as an insult
Actually, the 'legend' has it that it was believed that the King could only be killed by something that he wore. With this in mind, the Kings adjutants had all of the kings discarded clothing destroyed. What killed King Charles XII was not a belt buckle, but a lead filled brass button -- just like what the King himself wore on his uniform. Lore says that the king had in the days prior discarded one of his well worn out battle shirts, which was found later on to be missing one of its buttons.
The other day I read an article in "Illustrerad Historia", a History Magazine in Sweden, don't know if it exists in other counties as well. Apparently after years of testing and such they concluded it was a danish-norwegian bullet that killed him. I don't remember the exact details of the article. However I don't think that is the last word about this debate.
Aye, it has been a hotly debated topic for quite some years. I read the same article. I believe it has been considered the 'token history' perspective for at least a decade now, as I remember reading much the same in the old FAKTA Magazine (Swedish magazine in the late 80s and 90s).
Txtspeak The hell? Resist and bite is not a happy song but to break it on that is just low. As for who they are, bunch of hypocritical pussies who can't appreciate a good metal song. Don't let it bother you. Just think there are enough fans out there.
