The Day of Cannae Lyrics


The sun arises with a bronze shine across the sky

Wind blows across the fields of Ofanto

Trumpets belt out, horses' neigh,

the drumming of thousand hooves

Orders, cheering and prayers

Two armies marching on

In the plain ready to fight

Ready to fight and kill!

A day to die! The day of Cannae!

With the sword in the hand we fight for the Imperium

Hannibal outflanked our troops.

We were surrounded.

Orders, cheering and prayers

Two armies marching on

In the plain ready to fight

Ready to fight and kill!

We were surrounded and torn apart

Most of our troops were captured and killed

This was the day of Cannae.
