Dies Alliensis Lyrics

Quintus was killed
and the war began
Bren the crow,
summoned the Senones
looking for Clusium
the Fabii brothers
wanted them dead
and they called Rome
Along the Allia,
drums and screams
were coming in
Soon the river
red will be
because any army
against them
could win
Without a lot of soldiers
without proper rituals
the roman army
teared apart would be
and so it ended because of
neglected provisions
Every senator died
killed on their desk
taken the gold and pride
only hungry and misery left
The people negotiated
but Rome was a fire
and nothing remained
after the Celtics
The smoke was raising
up from the city,
up to the seven hills,
where all the folk had to see.
There, with burning tears which
went down to the ground they hang
their heads down for the first time.
