In 397

we marched against

the tyrant Dionysius

He violated

our treaty

And he will pay with his own blood

We declare war

against Syracuse

we declare war

I’m Himilko

the mighty Carthaginian

leader of brave men

With 50.000 soldiers

200 triremes

my army is supreme

Stronger in power

stronger in numbers

Baal protects us

Their 30.000 men

will soon be dead

Baal protects us

I pray to Baal

asking for victory

I will sacrifice anything he asks for

At the gates of Syracuse

at the gates of Syracuse

we will tear down their walls

at the gates of Syracuse

And when the plague

infected us

the Gods punished us

for human sacrifice

and now Dionysius attacks

The plague destroyed our dreams

and now we must flee

the plague destroyed our dreams

Eternal embarrassment

At the gates of Syracuse

at the gates of Syracuse

we will tear down their walls

at the gates of Syracuse
