Arminius

"Arminius, chieftain of the Cherusci, was educated by romans since his youth. He served as leader of ger-manic alliances for the empire and got familiar with roman art of war
But the arrogance and the might of Varus grew and Arminus feared the threatening decline of culture and
Freedom of his tribe. So he decided to go to war..."

Was it honour what pushed you?
What let you break the band?
Was it treason what brought the change?
And wrote history?

Born as the son of Segimer
You served for Rome in many fights
They tought you the lore of warfare
But your roots they couldn't deny.

Depredated legacy
Of his ancestry
Constrained slavery
A life for the enemy!
Enemy!

Was he a hero, who broke the chains?
The chains of slavery, oppression and pain?
Was he a traitor who deceived
The ones who made him become a man?

Once on the side
Of the conquerors
You turned against them there
Shattered the empire's fortress
Your name will always sound through time.

Arminius: “Follow me to victory!
Rome exploited long enough!
Take your courage, sword and axe!
Legionnaires will feel our rage!
Our forests are on our side!
We will lure them into the trap
And attack them part for part!
As soon they'll see us, we'll be gone!”

Depredated legacy
Of his ancestry
Constrained slavery
A Life for the enemy!
Enemy!

Raise the fist, edge the sword!
Gather the tribes around you!
Assembled and decided...
Cherusci, let battle commence!!!
