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 disapeared, never to be seen again.
