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
With the Lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies, see Carolus rise
To the skies, see Carolus rise
