lyrics

Flavus, brother of Cherusci
Flavus, slave of Rome
You think you are on the side of the winners
But I think you are on the side of the cowards
How could you forget our land and our people?
How could you betray your family?
The same blood flows in our veins
The same blood being shed today

Arminius, son of mud and misery
Arminius, traitor of Rome
Our father sold us for Roman gold
I don't have respect for who abandoned me
Not only a river divides us
Can our blood be the same?
You, descendent of the bravest warriors
Now this river will be stained with your blood

Now we finally meet again, on opposite sides of this river
Flavus, my brother, I can’t understand how could you betray me?

Irmin and Flavus, brothers in the past
Enemies in the battlefield, divided by Rome
Listen to your Germanic heart
The call of your ancestors

Irmin and Flavus, brothers in the past
Enemies in the battlefield, divided by Rome
Don’t betray who made you great
For the loyalty of some beasts

Your choice is yours alone, but now there’s no return
Wield your gladius, and cross this river
