See them squirming yonder | |
Their camp is rank with fear; | |
No breath dares blow the horn | |
Only a whispered word – | |
"The cataphracts are here!" | |
Belisarius rides at dawn | |
To greet the barbarians | |
With steel, fire and sword | |
He'll bring them to kneel | |
Before the Empire's golden | |
Double headed Eagle... | |
"The cataphracts are here!" | |
The enemy quakes in fear – | |
Belisarius rides at dawn: | |
Hellenic blood a' flowing | |
In the brave Thracian's veins... | |
Emperor Justinian has decreed | |
That the cataphracts doth march | |
To free the Eternal City anon | |
From the clutches of the Ostrogoth... | |
Belisarius rides at dawn | |
Proud ahead of a legion | |
Of cataphracts bound for war | |
The imperial standard | |
They carry forth... |
See them squirming yonder | |
Their camp is rank with fear | |
No breath dares blow the horn | |
Only a whispered word | |
" The cataphracts are here!" | |
Belisarius rides at dawn | |
To greet the barbarians | |
With steel, fire and sword | |
He' ll bring them to kneel | |
Before the Empire' s golden | |
Double headed Eagle... | |
" The cataphracts are here!" | |
The enemy quakes in fear | |
Belisarius rides at dawn: | |
Hellenic blood a' flowing | |
In the brave Thracian' s veins... | |
Emperor Justinian has decreed | |
That the cataphracts doth march | |
To free the Eternal City anon | |
From the clutches of the Ostrogoth... | |
Belisarius rides at dawn | |
Proud ahead of a legion | |
Of cataphracts bound for war | |
The imperial standard | |
They carry forth... |
See them squirming yonder | |
Their camp is rank with fear | |
No breath dares blow the horn | |
Only a whispered word | |
" The cataphracts are here!" | |
Belisarius rides at dawn | |
To greet the barbarians | |
With steel, fire and sword | |
He' ll bring them to kneel | |
Before the Empire' s golden | |

" The cataphracts are here!" | |
The enemy quakes in fear | |
Belisarius rides at dawn: | |
