Numidian riders told us that over the hill our enemy stood
For our contubernium, of all 8 men, we weren't interested
We'd fought battles in Gaul, lost battles in wild Germania
We'd lost men, received others who were less disciplined
We had our time with our brothers, they were old, not new
So we'd crossed a rise of hills, expecting to see Germans
Seeing what were only walkers and wagons of a familia
We'd let them pass without complications, why murder?
We marched on, waiting to join the greater Legion force
The fields were thick with tall grass, grains in our hands
Leading us to imagine we were in Elysium, but weren't
We were now about to find out where we were, in time
Our numbers had walked enough time, spent on death
