The Lost Legions
Armor shining in dim light
Thousands marching break the silence
Arms well-sharpened match their minds
But life does not favor the blind
Legions move among the trees
Nothing of enemies do they see
None know of the coming test
Death comes in Teutoburg Forest
Steel comes crashing down upon them
And the heat of battle grows hotter
Barely time to face their foes
They're led like lambs to the slaughter
Rip out the hearts of your enemies
And bring them to their knees
Their blood will water the ground
And they will be but memory
Varus, where are your legions
Slaughtered by Germanic steel
One you counted as your own
The greatest blow would deal
How the fuck did it come to this
Those savages were conquered with an iron fist
Three strong legions should have crushed their skulls
And the name of their general grace Roman Halls
Unwise to ignore clear warnings
Varus marched at the first light of morning
Once again the die was cast
None knew this day would be their last
Arrows reign down upon them, and hardened veterans fall
No time to raise their shields, their deaths they can't forestall
Their leaders can do nothing, they die with all the rest
Freedom came to Germany in Teutoburg Forest
Varus, where are your legions
Slaughtered by Germanic steel
One you counted as your own
The greatest blow would deal
Thousands marching break the silence
Arms well-sharpened match their minds
But life does not favor the blind
Legions move among the trees
Nothing of enemies do they see
None know of the coming test
Death comes in Teutoburg Forest
Steel comes crashing down upon them
And the heat of battle grows hotter
Barely time to face their foes
They're led like lambs to the slaughter
Rip out the hearts of your enemies
And bring them to their knees
Their blood will water the ground
And they will be but memory
Varus, where are your legions
Slaughtered by Germanic steel
One you counted as your own
The greatest blow would deal
How the fuck did it come to this
Those savages were conquered with an iron fist
Three strong legions should have crushed their skulls
And the name of their general grace Roman Halls
Unwise to ignore clear warnings
Varus marched at the first light of morning
Once again the die was cast
None knew this day would be their last
Arrows reign down upon them, and hardened veterans fall
No time to raise their shields, their deaths they can't forestall
Their leaders can do nothing, they die with all the rest
Freedom came to Germany in Teutoburg Forest
Varus, where are your legions
Slaughtered by Germanic steel
One you counted as your own
The greatest blow would deal
