At the Gates of Syracuse Lyrics

In 397
we marched against
the tyrant Dionysius

He violated
our treaty
And he will pay with his own blood

We declare war
against Syracuse
we declare war

I'm Himilko
the mighty Carthaginian
leader of brave men

With 50.000 soldiers
200 triremes
my army is supreme

Stronger in power
stronger in numbers
Baal protects us

Their 30.000 men
will soon be dead
Baal protects us

I pray to Baal
asking for victory
I will sacrifice anything he asks for

At the gates of Syracuse
at the gates of Syracuse
we will tear down their walls
at the gates of Syracuse

And when the plague
infected us
the Gods punished us
for human sacrifice
and now Dionysius attacks

The plague destroyed our dreams
and now we must flee
the plague destroyed our dreams
Eternal embarrassment

At the gates of Syracuse
at the gates of Syracuse
we will tear down their walls
at the gates of Syracuse
