lyrics
*Cursing the legacy of Arminius / Hermann the traitor to Rome who orchestrated the ambush and massacre of three legions*
Wild eyes glow through the trees, a storm suffocates the sky
The forest is thick with impatient muffled cries
The legions march onwards with heavy ignorant steps
Oblivious to the vassal plotting their grizzly deaths
Arminius, treacherous leech, traitor to Rome, our Orcus you'll meet
Hermann, betrayer, leech, assembler of the tribes of death, drowning our lights reach.
The sons of Rome ambushed, a spite-fuelled massacre
Rained upon by tribesmen's spears, surrounded for slaughter
Iron tactics useless, Arminius attacks what he already knows
Three legions surrounded, suffering this fierce Germanic blow
The gilded eagle eroded, the roman standard lost
In the depths of Teutoburg, Rome's legions paid their cost
Slain within the woods, murdered in swamp and bog
Twenty thousand casualties in the forest fog
Brave men devoured, to appease a barbarous god
But in Teutoburg forest, their spirits remain, singing their frontier song
supported by 210 fans who also own “Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald”
Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost
