(Verse I)
March through the woods of Germania,
Eagles held high, banners bright.
Storm clouds gather above the legions,
Darkness consumes the light.
Traitor’s tongue in the tribal hall,
Arminius whispers war.
Once our ally, now our doom,
He opens the forest door.
(Pre-Chorus)
Rain and thunder, shields are breaking,
Trapped in the mud and flame!
Three proud legions fall forsaken,
No glory, no Roman name!
(Chorus)
Varus! Give me back my legions!
Echoes through the storm and rain!
In Teutoburg, the empire bleeds —
Forever carved in pain!
Varus! Give me back my legions!
Lost beneath the northern sky!
An empire weeps, an emperor cries —
“Varus, give me back my legions!”
(Verse II)
Iron in blood, no quarter given,
Eagles cast into mire.
Screams of Rome are lost in thunder,
The forest becomes their pyre.
Ambush and slaughter, no hope for retreat,
Steel meets the savage and wild.
Varus falls on his sword of defeat,
His honor and empire defiled!
(Pre-Chorus)
Legions crumble, dreams are dying,
Glory drowned in the rain!
The Rhine will mark the boundary,
Where Rome shall never reign!
(Chorus)
Varus! Give me back my legions!
Echoes through the storm and rain!
In Teutoburg, the empire bleeds —
Forever carved in pain!
Varus! Give me back my legions!
Lost beneath the northern sky!
An empire weeps, an emperor cries —
“Varus, give me back my legions!”
(Bridge – Spoken / Growled)
“An empire’s wrath, an emperor’s lament,
Augustus weeps for the blood he’s spent.
Three eagles fallen, three legions slain —
Teutoburg whispers Rome’s refrain!”
(Guitar Solo)
(Final Chorus)
Varus! Give me back my legions!
Thunder of Rome undone!
The forest reigns, the empire fades,
No triumph for the sun!
Varus! Give me back my legions!
The cry of an endless night!
In Teutoburg’s shadow, Rome remembers —
The day she lost her might!
(Outro – Chanting)
Give me back my legions…
Varus! Varus!
Give me back my legions!
Forever lost to the night!
