Ett slag färgat rött [Killing Ground] [English translation]

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.
