Текст песни Trinovantes (Imperial Vengeance) с переводом

The wetlands morning light reveals a distant glimmer — sun on spears

And shields, and thus we stand transfixed 'pon radiance that seemed so fair

Within the range of mortal sight.

«Arweddwr chan 'r torc ag chreuau cara

Danio 'n ddialgar fam, 'r achubwr chan 'n cenedl»

They came upon the East wind’s keen, their sails hung high against the masts

Of mighty galleys, moving fast through waters that at once did seem

To guard our heartland, home and shore: this green and blessed realm.

The Angel isle, through sword and helm was 'ere so defended,

'Gainst invaders from the foreign shore.

«Arweddwr chan 'r torc ag chreuau cara

Danio 'n ddialgar fam, 'r achubwr chan 'n cenedl

And thus the seers' words did speak

Of a wolf cub snatched and borne on high,

By Eagles who at once did cry their lonely call from darkening skies,

And yet the grey child did survive, the thousand fathom fall to earth.

And thus an empire great was built upon the blood of untold numbers

Spilled, forever in the name of Rome:

And when they brought both sword and brand unto our Isle, our motherland,

There didst so rise our goddess bright with burning eyes,

Whose anger bought such dread and clamour; striking fear unto the foe.

Purge the unclean through fire and cross — Impale the heretics — desecrate

their gods

Burn out the memory of the whip-scarred backs — And the years we spent beneath

the heel.

We march upon the wings of night, with deadly blessing, 'gainst the blight that

dwells

Within the once strong walls of great Camuludonum.

The infants cries and warriors screams

The sound and airs do haunt the dreams of the distant tyrant as he cowers

Behind the outstreched bloody arm of war.

Screams heard in the Senate House — The witch-tongue of the wild.

When mothers rave and howl and crave: Their vengeance on their children dead,

defiled.

They put false trust in mighty walls in towers of indomitable stone

The words of the seer now doomfully clear, the cowering wolf revealed as Rome.

The heroine of the Age has passed but will rise again once more

When the tides of time are flowing fast and fall upon our shore
