Three Legions

Mazes of scrub and morass, trees and thicket

Nights so sombre and dark as a briquet

Days of horror, fear and obscure twillight

Storm and rain, and an overwhelming fright

Three legions, lost in the wild

Three legions - The glory of Rome was defiled

Thunder from above and screams on the ground

Thousands of soldiers, slaughtered and downed

Three legions, lost in the wild

Three legions - The glory of Rome was defiled

The emperor was shocked and cracked

”Varus, I want my legions back!”

Three legions, lost in the wild

Three legions - The glory of Rome was defiled

The battle raged on for three whole days, the legions disapeared in fog and haze

The ground was littered with corpses and blood, the romans were left to rot in the mud

The mighty eagle fell into the fire, the beginning of the end of the roman empire

The emperor was shocked and cracked - ”Varus, I want my legions back!”

Three legions, lost in the wild

Three legions - The glory of Rome was defiled

"Varus, I want my legions back!"
