Publius Quinctilius Varus

"The roman governors ambition in Germania was to further colonization
Collect taxes and to preserve peace by putting down riots of the tribes
He was known for his arrogance, insensitivity and false pride
These traits should be the prelude of his downfall..."

Legatus Augusti pro praetore
Noble blood flows through his veins
To hold the property they keep
Was his pursuit and his aim.

At this time the tribes disputed
The sword replaced every word
But only if peace found its way
He could fulfill the will of Rome.

With levity the grave was dug
Arrogance switched the mind
Publius Quinctilius Varus
Doomed for his demise
Known as a strategic master
A genius in arts of war
Publius Quinctilius Varus
Of what avail that was for you?

Time has come for you
Prove the roman steel
Will the eagle fly
When it hears their battle cry?

Varus!

In this age of battles
Many men did rule the fight
But the name of Varus
Now stands for the defeat of roman might.

With levity the grave was dug
Arrogance switched the mind
Publius Quinctilius Varus
Marked for all time
Known as a strategic master
A genius in arts of war
Publius Quinctilius Varus
Of what avail it is for you?
