King Of The Eburones Lyrics

[King of the Eburones]

The harvest was poor,
starvation was lurking and no man knew what winter
would bring.
They came with honourless intentions.
They set up their camps near our villages.
The centurions were ordered to take our harvest.

The fury of the Eburones was born.
Ambiorix joined Catuvolcus, the two kings united,
powerful and brave.
The murder of Dumnorix wil be revenged.
Esus the Treesplitter, the thunder and Toutatis the
father will rise.
Taranis

Ambiorix prince of the Eburones
Of all Gauls, the Belgae are bravest

He created fear for approaching tribes.
The officers were troubled. Stay and fight or flee?
Would they fight and die?
Sabinus and Cotta debated the whole night.
Fear took a hold of them.
Through the the valley they would flee.

The fury of the Eburones was born. Ambiorix joined Catuvolcus, the two kings united,
powerful and brave.
The murder of Dumnorix will be revenged
Esus the Treesplitter, Taranis the thunder and Toutatis
the father wil rise.

Ambiorix and his men attacked them from up the hills.
The legate
begged for his life.
Sabinus, Cotta and their troops were massacred.
Deceived by a flag of truce.

The news reached the senate. Rome was dishonoured.
An entire Roman legion and cohorts distroyed,
revenge was inevitable.
The legion of Quintus Cicero was stationed in Gaul.
The name of Rome was at stake.

Caesars wrath was devastating.
50,000 trained Roman soldiers slaughtered and hunted
the tribes.
Fields were burned down. Ambiorix fled North into
German territory.
He disappeared, never to be seen again.
