lyrics

Under the yoke of the Empire
I see my people treated like beasts
Under the power of the Eagles
I see my land conquered and subjugated
But I feel the will for revenge
Now I feel the will for freedom
I must try the impossible
To win over the never-defeated enemy

They want us joining their costumes
But we won't reject our traditions so easily
Our gods won't abandon us
Even Mars will not dare to set foot here

Waiting in the darkness in this moment of torture
Waiting in the darkness the right moment to strike
Will I be remembered as the traitor?
Or will I be remembered as their savior?

I must become a Roman myself
Under the command of Varus
From Irmin to Arminius
You will trust me 'till the end

They have the power of iron
But I have the power of surprise
They have the power of the Empire
But it is useless against the power of deceit

Prometto di essere fedele al Senato
E al popolo Romano!
Giuro di obbedire a Varo, di seguirlo ovunque mi conduca
Di non abbandonare mai le insegne, di non darmi alla fuga
Prometto di essere fedele al Senato
E al popolo di Roma!

This mask of submission
Covers my instinct of rebellion
Behind this mask
My Germanic heart is still beating

Waiting in the darkness in this moment of torture
Waiting in the darkness the right moment to strike
Will I be remembered as the traitor?
Or will I be remembered as their savior?
