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

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
