The Swedish army stood at Fraustad
Before an almost twice as numerous enemy.
On that day, we showed the world not only our
Superiority in battle, but also
How cruel men can be in war.
Frozen land,
A frost bitten army
Born like demons from gunsmoke.
Rehnskiölds1 men
Storm their flank
His name is feared in battle.
One by one, Sachsen's men flee home
Death awaits them
Blood is gushing
[They] Meet death at Fraustad
Great floods2
Through the enemy's ranks
Blood is gushing
No mercy will be given there
Stand in line,
Eye to eye!
Show courage,
Battle formation!
Doomsday,
Do not fear death,
Caroleans to war!
Down on knees, no mercy is given
They pray for their lives!
See how Russians give themselves, pray for mercy
The Swedes break the war's code
Caroleans take their vengeance
Butcher their prisoners
See how the Russians give themselves, pray for mercy
Mass murder, and not heroic death.
Caroleans take their vengeance,
Honor is forgotten.
1. Count Carl Gustav Rehnskiöld (6 August 1651 – 29 January 1722) was a Swedish Field Marshal under the command of King Karl XII of Sweden. Despite being choleric and irritable, Rehnskiöld's military skills made him the chief military advisor and second-in-command to King Karl and earned him the epithet the "Parmenio of the Northern Alexander."2. Deluge, a flood of Biblical proportions.
