|
A ship raises sail |
|
Heads out to the sea |
|
Ready for the enemy's defeat |
|
As Naiads of woc |
|
We bear down upon |
|
Messina's straights |
|
With flaming bolt |
|
Ballistae of bronze: |
|
We're ready to board! |
|
Red churns the sea |
|
With enemy blood |
|
Trimeres sinking ablaze |
|
Neptune doth claim the dead! |
|
Black smoke filling the air |
|
The depths shall be our grave! |
|
O! Glorious day! |
|
We are baptized in blood! |
|
Our name shall be |
|
In remembrance of thee: |
|
We shall hence be known |
|
As "The legion of the straits"! |
|
What destiny commands |
|
Lies in distant lands... |
|
Desert sands |
|
And cruel Gods |
|
The blades of Judas |
|
Masada falls! |
|
Let them rejoice |
|
They know not |
|
That these walls |
|
Shall be their tomb! |
|
Sunrise is come |
|
Mithras guide us forth! |
|
Into the thick of war |
|
Where heroes rise |
|
Breast-fed by wolves |
|
The blood of fallen foes! |
|
Frater, steel thy heart |
|
And take up your sword: |
|
There is killing to be done! |
|
Fell deeds - fire and blood! |
|
Frater, steel thy heart |
|
And take up your sword! |
|
O! Glorious day! |
|
We are baptized in blood! |
|
Our name shall be |
|
In remembrance of thee: |
|
We shall hence be known |
|
As "The legion of the straits"! |
|
What destiny commands |
|
Lies in distant lands... |
|
An oath sworn on battlefields |
|
The promise of the ironclad: |
|
I swear to bleed by spear and lash |
|
But never, ever shall I retreat! |
