lyrics

The Gallic tribes rise up
Under pressure of Rome
A consecrated alliance
To recover freedom
The forces concentrate in front of the city
The legions are coming led by Caesar
After burnt soil, victories and defeats

We will build a wall around the city
Hunger and thirst will destroy them
We know that reinforcements will come
We will build another retaining wall outside

The Gallic leader prepares the defense
The cavalry attacks the construction
But finally, the works end
Locked, are required extreme measures
Women, children and elderly are thrown outside
And the Romans prevent their path
Caught between two walls
Die, contemplated in the despair

Here come the reinforcements
A double attack and we will kill them
Don’t despair companions
Seeing your families dying

Swords in the dark
The slaughter will begin
The die is cast for the city of Alesia
The die is cast for the Gallic nation

On the walls crash combined forces
At nightfall
Blood splatters the walls
The viscera fall from close formation
The flames light up the sky
Iron meets the bone
The legions contains the enemy
And the Germanic cavalry crushes the rearguard

The Gallic troops are defeated
Scattered across the nation
The city capitulated unconditionally
The chieftain Vercingetorix gives up his weapons
Under the eagle banner
To die strangled in the city of Rome
The die is cast for the city of Alesia
The die is cast for the Gallic nation
