From the south three legions are marching Their eagle standards raised in the air Confidently striding towards their undoing Of their grim fate they are yet unaware The army of Varus ten thousands strong Marching to subjugate tribes of free men But we stand proud against Roman might With blood and steel for our soil we fight Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Imperial Rome has crossed the Rhine river Ever striving to expand its domain So many lands already fell in its grasp But the soil of our tribes they will not gain In their eyes we are merely barbarians Savages living on the edge of the world Yet our steel will make them run and hide For the mighty gods are on our side Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the enemy shall die For the glory of our gods we shout our battle cry United now we stand against the Roman foe With our gods on our side into blazing battle we go Years before the glorious battle ahead The strangers came from their far away land Trying to divide and conquer our tribes Many times we were forced to make a stand They promised trade and proposed treaties Yet always their pledges nothing but lies Now that for once our tribes are united We stand and fight, hear freedom’s cries Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods We cover ourselves in the skins of animals To our mighty war god for victory we pray The rebellion will take the enemy by surprise Thousands of their soldiers shall we slay In a horrible storm sent by our thunder god We attack our foe like wolves in the night On unfamiliar soil they are filled with fear On holy ground the gods their woe shall hear Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods After three long days of glorious battle We emerge victorious against all the odds Many enemies slain by swords and spears The cowards sold as slaves or given to the gods Thousands of enemy soldiers slaughtered Varus and his officers fell on their swords To avoid the shame of falling into our hands A crushing victory for the freedom of our lands Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Inspired by our glory we continue the assault Trouncing all their strongholds east of the Rhine The expansion of Rome now brought to a halt They shall not rule where our swords shine Their eagle standards we proudly have captured Never was the empire so humiliated The emperor shaken with grief, rage and shame We overcame the odds for eternal fame Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the legions now lie slain Fallen in a mighty storm ‘midst thunder, wind and rain For years to come our triumph shall instil dread Nevermore across the Rhine the empire will tread
