They breed not to build but to kill
To plunder and to take what they desire
Uncivilized barbarian horde
Not a shred of human decency
Gathered at the borders of the north
Impenetrable wall of awesome might
Constant agitation of the citizenry
We cannot merely sit by in complacency
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Desecrate the Altar of Victory!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Only by the sword comes power
In time the weak shall fade away
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Barbarian tribes gathered in the north
Fearsome mighty warriors all along the borders
Gallic legions gather all with conquering in mind
And an arrogance that drives them to the Rhine
Surrounded in the rain, betrayed and left to die
Barbarians awaiting them storm into the lines
Victorious Germanic soldiers stand among the ashes
And wash in the blood of twenty thousand dead
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Desecrate the Altar of Victory!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Only by the sword comes power
In time the weak shall fade away
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Rome shall never expand beyond the Rhine
Humbled by unconquered savagery
Throughout the rise and fall of countless empires
The barbarian remains
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
