Verse 1
Frozen land
A cold-ravaged army
Born like demons from gunpowder smoke
Rehnskiöld's men
Storming its flank
His name's feared in battle
One by one, the Saxon men flee home
Death awaits them
Chorus 1
Spilling blood
Meeting death at Fraustadt
Deluge
Through the enemy's lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given
There
Verse 2
Standing in formation
Eye to eye
Showing courage
Battle formation
Doomsday
Fearing not death
Caroleans to battle
On your knees, there's no mercy given
They're begging for their lives
Chorus 2
Spilling blood
Meeting death at Fraustadt
Deluge
Through the enemy's lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given
There
Bridge 1
See the Russian surrender, begging for mercy
The Swede breaks the code of war
Caroleans take their revenge
Slaughtering their prisoners
Bridge 2
See the Russian surrender, begging for mercy
Mass murder, not a heroic deed
Caroleans take their revenge
Honor is lost
Prechorus
One by one, the Saxon men flee home
Death awaits them
Spilling blood
Chorus 3
Meeting death at Fraustadt
Deluge
Through the enemy's lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given
There
Outro
Spilling blood
Meeting death at Fraustadt
Deluge
Through the enemy's lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given
There

DomedagDoomsday

Domedag literally translates to "Doomsday" or "Judgment Day". It's a powerful and dramatic word that immediately evokes a sense of epic scale and finality.

In the context of Sabaton's song, which describes a brutal historical battle, "Domedag" perfectly captures the overwhelming and decisive nature of the conflict. It suggests a battle so intense that it feels like the end of the world for those involved, making it a highly enticing and memorable word for a learner.

Get ready to march onto a frozen battlefield with Sabaton's powerful track, "Ett Slag Färgat Rött"! This song, whose title means "A Battle Colored Red," throws you into the heart of the Battle of Fraustadt in 1706. You'll hear the story of the legendary Swedish army, the Karoliner (Caroleans), as they face a much larger Saxon and Russian force in the bitter cold.

The song captures the brutal efficiency and fearlessness of these soldiers. But this isn't just a story of a glorious victory. Pay close attention to the lyrics, as they reveal a darker side to the battle. After the enemy surrenders, the song describes a terrible act of revenge, a moment where the victors break the rules of war. It's a powerful look at how even in triumph, honor can be lost, turning a heroic deed into a massacre.
