Lyrics Cult Of Erinyes - Teutoburger Wald

01. Teutoburger Wald

Three legions of warriors, the greatest army anyone has seen
It conquered the majority of the known world
It subjected all the barbarous nations

The Rhine is far behind now, none have seen their homes for so long
A fearsome and cruel leader, his enemies have died on the cross

His name is known beyond the empire’s borders
Yet he’s unaware that the enemy walks with him
Nourishing a hatred so deep, so secret
He’s won their confidence, has merged among those he loathes
He now leads thousands of men to their death

The forest’s splendor inspires confidence
It has been raining for days, the narrow paths are muddy
It seems that the empire could be extended indefinitely
The columns are stretched, no battle formation needed
They ignored advice and caution
They did not want to see the wolf that mingled with them

Death strikes like a rude awakening
In an instant they’re surrounded by the barbarian hordes
Their spears are raining down and their swords are piercing the horses’ flesh
The hour of revenge has finally come
No lives are spared, some are taking their own

Three legions annihilated
The humiliated empire is in shock
Revenge will occur many years later
But the rulers of the ancient world will never cross the Rhine again
