The Siege

The Siege

Scorched earth we left

A barren land of ash

Our fatherland laid waste

Be the void our ******* monument

At a leaden dawn

At this ominous morn

Pila loomed on the horizon

Talons of the wolverine

Exanimate legions formed

At the very gates of Avaricum

Believed invulnerable

This calling wall

But straight out of nowhere

Before our eyes this godsdawn bane arose

[00:38]Thus Avaricum burns

[00:40]Under a dead sky

[00:42]Avaricum drowns

[00:44]In blood and demise

Siege towers emerged

Protruding from the ground

Standing out against the threatening sky

As if to mock all valiantness

Face to face with an eye-levelled enemy

Serried Roman ranks

Embattled upon our hold

[01:42]Cut off and trapped inside

As the carnage was at hand

As the creak of the winches extolled our doom

The slaughter befell Avaricum

Dead suffused the oppidum

Left to pillage, sack and rape

Avaricum the brave became Avaricum the grave
