Scorched earth we left
|
||
|
|
A barren land of ash
|
||
|
|
Our fatherland laid waste
|
||
|
|
Be the void our fucking monument
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At a leaden dawn
|
||
|
|
At this ominous morn
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pila loomed on the horizon
|
||
|
|
Talons of the wolverine
|
||
|
|
Exanimate legions formed
|
||
|
|
At the very gates of Avaricum
|
||
|
|
Believed invulnerable
|
||
|
|
This calling wall
|
||
|
|
But straight out of nowhere
|
||
|
|
Before our eyes this godsdawn bane arose
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thus Avaricum burns
|
||
|
|
Under a dead sky
|
||
|
|
Avaricum drowns
|
||
|
|
In blood and demise
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Siege towers emerged
|
||
|
|
Protruding from the ground
|
||
|
|
Standing out against the threatening sky
|
||
|
|
As if to mock all valiantness
|
||
|
|
Face to face with an eye-leveled enemy
|
||
|
|
Serried roman ranks
|
||
|
|
Embattled upon our hold
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cut off and trapped inside
|
||
|
|
As the carnage was at hand
|
||
|
|
As the creak of the winches extolled our doom
|
||
|
|
The slaughter befell Avaricum
|
||
|
|
Dead suffused the oppidum
|
||
|
|
Left to pillage, sack and rape
|
||
|
|
Avaricum the brave became Avaricum the grave
|
