Skirmishing Lyrics

Avoid a set-piece battle

Near the river Chrysas
two armies were ready to collide
80.000 men
against 40.000

This conflict will determine our future

Guerilla war
scorched Earth
guerilla war
scorched Earth

We are suffering
from supply shortage
loss of moral
decreased discipline

Our forces are more vulnerable
we are losing control
they want an open battle
to kill us all

Light infantry skirmishers are everywhere against us
they use bows slings and light shields
this warfare has exhausted us we are unable to carry on

Disruption
of food supply

However
the Syracusans left
they didn't want
a long guerilla war

Both sides now weakened
it's time for peace
Mago and Dionysius
signed a new treaty
