Three Legions March

"Without regarding Segestes' warning, Varus set out with Legiones XVII, XVIII and XIX for their winter camp at the river rhine. But they never arrived..."

And so the day had come
On which the demise commenced
Moribund legionnaires
Prepared for the march
Peace in front of their eyes
Castrum Vetara waited for them
Varus lead the legions
Without Segestes' word in mind.

“Fellow comrades!”
”Our fortune?”
“It lies ahead!
We leave our castrum
For women, cosiness and wine!”
“Too long we've shivered!”

“The winters here are merciless!
So build the trek and get your arms!
Out of that swamp...
“...We will march!”

So they trekked into perdition
Like cattle being lead to slaughter
Is your power of avail
When a man of arrogance
Guides you to your grave?

They never arrived
Because they left their way
A message of a riot
Let Varus lead them into the woods
Into the Woods
Arminius' plan became real
And they marched into the trap
Thousands of heathen warriors
Swung their sword when they were near
When they were near.

Forests unknown
Grass, trees and stones
High on his horse
He lead the course
Legions subsided
While cheruscian warriors did hide.

And a storm set in...

So they trekked into perdition
Like cattle being lead to slaughter
Is your power of avail
When a man of arrogance
Guides you to your grave?

It started to rain
Varus was still so vain.
