Germanicus Lyrics


Our General,

Our loyalty for you is endless

Your legions

Are waiting for your next command

Some victories are gained without a sword

Today, we will march to the tribes of the North

“Slaughter and pillage, the glory of Rome”

That's our command, our fate

Brothers, let's move on

Our General,

We've shed our blood, we’ve given you our all

(All) legions

Will bury the dead and hunt down their foes

Men, I've heard the call

The rescued noble stirred up our foes

Sails up! To the riverine!

The Silver Eagle, we’ll proudly reclaim, show our might

Glorious, eternal Empire

Grandiose fame and power

Our general

The Augur says that we’ll win today

Your legions

Armours shine and spears are held high

Scouts have returned, flanks are secured

“Bring me my sword and saddle my horse!”

Arrows and fire, rain from the sky

Rome will prevail! Leave none of them alive!

Our General!

With you we are victorious and

Your legions

Shall praise your name and Rome forever!

My gallant troops, this fight is fought

Now we must make haste back to Rome

Commanded, we are to head far away

To the land of the sun and the golden grain

Glorious, eternal Empire

Grandiose fame and power

These barren times

Tainted souls

Perfidy

I can hear them in the night

As I lie still

Like venom it stings

We have all sworn to obey the Emperor’s commands

We shall never desert

And we shall not seek to avoid death

But always be ready to sacrifice our lives for the Roman Empire!

Glorious, eternal Empire

Grandiose fame and power

As a wise man once said:

“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is,

But how good it is, is what matters.”

(Seneca)
