Lyrics

Mars turns his sword
To the west
Doom is on Britain
Suetonius Paulinus
Takes command
And marches soon to Wales
The eagle standard
Heads for the straits
To face the druids
And their banes
The gladius is sharper
Than barbarian spells
We'll cut down
These wild animals
We fight for Jupiter!
And the glory of Rome!
The ground was shaking
Under the legion's march
Could be heard from miles
With a power unmatched
With Paulinus' command
It was the greatest
War machine
Ruling with a fist of steel
The eagle standard
Heads for the straits
To face the druids
And their banes
The gladius is sharper
Than barbarian spells
We'll cut down
These wild animals
We fight for Jupiter!
And the glory of Rome!
Crawling like beasts
The druids hid
In their holy place
Lit by the flaming effigies
Anointed by burning flesh
Nonetheless
The Romans move on
Unhindered by predicting tides
As natural barriers are put aside
Nothing can stop
The legion's march
As they are getting closer
They hear the druid's spells
Of human sacrifices
And the magic chants
The eagle standard
Heads for the straits
To face the druids
And their banes
The gladius is sharper
Than barbarian spells
We'll cut down
These wild animals
We fight for Jupiter!
And the glory of Rome
