Three legions of warriors, the greatest army anyone has seen

It conquered the majority of the known world

It subjected all the barbarous nations

The Rhine is far behind now, none have seen their homes for so long

A fearsome and cruel leader, his enemies have died on the cross

His name is known beyond the empire’s borders

Yet he’s unaware that the enemy walks with him

Nourishing a hatred so deep, so secret

He’s won their confidence, has merged among those he loathes

He now leads thousands of men to their death

The forest’s splendor inspires confidence

It has been raining for days, the narrow paths are muddy

It seems that the empire could be extended indefinitely

The columns are stretched, no battle formation needed

They ignored advice and caution

They did not want to see the wolf that mingled with them

Death strikes like a rude awakening

In an instant they’re surrounded by the barbarian hordes

Their spears are raining down and their swords are piercing the horses’ flesh

The hour of revenge has finally come

No lives are spared, some are taking their own

Three legions annihilated

The humiliated empire is in shock

Revenge will occur many years later

But the rulers of the ancient world will never cross the Rhine again
