[Eluveitie - Meet the Enemy lyrics]
There at these shores the die has been cast
Valour and honour were stripped
Off their meaning
We will not know innocence again
At sombre nightfall the defenceless
Were bestially run down
Saone stained with helvetic blood
You will not shake hands with arrant beliers
You'd rather die than turn into minions
Freedom was our highest good
We ventured our lives meet the liar
This dead black night our destiny revealed
Meet the enemy it will never be the same
There at these portentous shores
Of river Saone
There at these shores the die has been cast
We saw the true face of the Roman ravener
The gorgoneion on the cuirass appeared
It was like playing ludus latrunculorum
The pieces were made of flesh and of blood
Valour and honour bereft of their meaning
The blood on your hands will forever stay
Freedom was our highest good
We ventured our lives meet the liar
This dead black night our destiny revealed
Meet the enemy it will never be the same
It's not us to go under the yoke
Of that fact the Roman people are witness
We will not bow (meet the liar)
Meet the enemy meet the liar
Meet the enemy
