The Oath of the Legion

歌詞

Samnites, the bravest breed of Mother Earth thousands of warriors hungry for revenge swearing to reach the victory or to die gallantly axes in hands Under the holy curtain they become as one Those who dared to refuse the sacred ritual: their lifes were taken by the soldiers' knives slaughtering the cowards with no pride, in front of all the crowd no one was spared Sixty thousand chosen men for war were gathered Sixty thousand golden shields were held overhead shining bright "over this battlefield 'till the last drop of blood we'll fight gods, take our souls with you, hear the oath of the legion" Fearless the legion is marching for the honour of the Samnites Under the holy curtain they become as one (In remembrance of the "Legio Linteata" (Aquilonia, 203 a.C.))
