Lightning at the Gates

From the Rhône through the mountains they go
As the winter's drawing near
Fast approaching change of season's threatening
March over mountains, an army ascends
As their time is running out
A desperate move, a brave surprise
A threat to Rome comes from the north
Through rocks they go
Through the ice, through the cold and the snow
Over mountains, an army far from home
Leading beast and man through the cold and snow
Marching, they're moving on Rome
Guided by the stars, light the valley below
Break the illusion of their foe
As they cross the range where no armies go
Marching, descending on Rome
From the peaks to the heart of their foe
Lead by Gauls to find the way
Unite the tribes to show them through the mountains
Higher and higher, across the divide
Face the odds, the mountains' wrath
They took the unexpected path
To the battles that await them down below
Through the ice, through the cold and the snow
Over mountains, an army far from home
Leading beast and man through the cold and snow
Marching, they're moving on Rome
Guided by the stars, light the valley below
Break the illusion of their foe
As they cross the range where no armies go
Marching, descending on Rome
From the peaks to the heart of their foe
From the Rhône through the mountains they go
Over mountains, an army far from home
Leading beast and man through the cold and snow
Marching, they're moving on Rome
Guided by the stars, light the valley below
Break the illusion of their foe
As they cross the range where no armies go
Marching, descending on Rome
