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 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 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

From the peaks to the heart of their
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
Range where no armies go
From the peaks to the heart of their foe
