The Battle Of Lutzen 1632 English Version

Made by Stefan Lång for Hoshi Music Battle of Lützen – 1632 The Battle of Lützen was fought on November 16, 1632 during the Thirty Years’ War and became one of the most dramatic clashes of the entire conflict. The Swedish forces, led by King Gustavus Adolphus, faced the Imperial army commanded by Albrecht von Wallenstein on the mist-covered plains near the town of Lützen in present-day Germany. Wallenstein had entrenched his army along the road, strengthening his position with field fortifications and artillery batteries. Thick fog covered the battlefield, delaying the fighting until late morning. When the mist finally lifted, the Swedish troops advanced with determination, singing hymns and moving forward under heavy cannon and musket fire. Gustavus Adolphus personally led cavalry charges to break the Imperial line. In the swirling smoke and fog, the king became separated from his escort, was shot several times, and fell from his horse. He died on the field, and news of his death spread quickly through the Swedish ranks. Despite the loss of their king, the Swedish soldiers continued the assault. Under the command of Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar, they captured Wallenstein’s artillery and forced the Imperial army to withdraw from the battlefield. The Swedes held the ground at the end of the day, but their victory came at the greatest possible cost. Lützen is remembered as the moment when the “Lion of the North” fell, yet his army fought on and secured a decisive victory. The battle cemented Gustavus Adolphus’s legacy as one of Europe’s most brilliant military leaders and ensured Sweden remained a major power in the war even after his death. Lyrics: Cold November, iron sky, banners black and gold Cannons thunder, muskets cry, stories to be told Lion of the North rides out, leading from the front Fog and smoke conceal the field, men bear war’s brunt Imperial lines ahead of us, Wallenstein prepared Steel and fire clash as one, none will be spared Snow and ash upon the ground, death is drawing near History is written here Through the smoke — hear the call Forward march — never fall For the crown — steel and faith Onward into fate LÜTZEN! — fire in the fog tonight Charging hooves and flashing steel in flight Lead and thunder split the sky Kings are mortal — legends never die LÜTZEN! — echo of a dying roar Victory gained but paid in war On the field where heroes bled The Lion of the North lies dead Carolean battalions march, steady through the flame Broken earth and shattered bones, none will be the same In the chaos of the fight, the king is torn away Shot and bleeding in the mud, dying in the fray “No retreat and never yield!” captains scream aloud Swedish banners wave in smoke, battered but unbowed Wallenstein retreats at last, beaten but not gone Victory at dusk — but the king is gone Through the smoke — hear the call Forward march — never fall For the crown — steel and faith Onward into fate LÜTZEN! — fire in the fog tonight Charging hooves and flashing steel in flight Lead and thunder split the sky Kings are mortal — legends never die LÜTZEN! — echo of a dying roar Victory gained but paid in war On the field where heroes bled The Lion of the North lies dead Sixteen thirty-two! Lützen — blood and dew Wallenstein won’t yield Bodies on the field Glory carved in pain Snow mixed red with rain Sweden mourns its king Still the soldiers sing LÜTZEN! — fire in the fog tonight History burning fierce and bright Though the king has fallen there Sweden’s legacy fills the air LÜTZEN! — carved into the stone Empire shaken to the bone In the smoke where he died The Lion still rides
