[Stefan der Schwabe]
All ye mighty Ladies and Lords!
Let me show my company!
Bow before my boreal hordes
You are in my custody!
I am Stefan, gentle-hearted
Leader of the Swabians
Your life will be soon departed
Your weak arms mean no defense!
[Roman Centurion]
I’m Centurion Flavius,
Servant of the Emperor!
My ancestors were patricians,
I’m a full-time conqueror!
You barbarians disgust me,
I have met your kind before!
Just an hour, and your dirty
Nordic blood covers the floor!
[Stefan der Schwabe]
What do you say, filthy Roman!
I finish you, just you wait!
[Roman Centurion]
Soon our hands will show your omen,
You will never reach the gate!
[The Visionary Chronicler]
It happens as I have forseen
On this dawn of German wrath
Human corpses cover all green
As the Romans fight to death
In a sudden, deadly moment
The Swabian stabs his sword
Through the chest of the old Roman
Before he could say a word
[Stefan der Schwabe]
As I told you, aristocrat,
Nobility’s not present
As you lay there, soon you are dead
It must be quite unpleasant
How we, the savage people
Crush the corrupt Empire
As we drown the Roman eagle
In eternal hellfire!
[Roman Centurion]
Regardless of what I say now
You will soon get through the wall
As no matter why, when or how:
Empires are born to fall
People blinded by the power
Control masses of their own
When it comes to zero hour
Someone else sits in the throne...
[The Visionary Chronicler]
It was death what their swords carried:
Soon the Empire perished
And the Germans gladly married
Local women they cherished
Some hundred years in the future
Once the rampant conqueror,
The student became the teacher,
Holy Roman Emperor...

hmmmmmmm....
unusual from you, but a good enthusiastic poem! i like these kind of stories myself, you know old wars and emporors. something else we have in common! :)
Thanks, Amin! :) Yeah, it's a bit different from the poems I wrote before, but I like it myself. :) Yeah, you want me to write a poem about Persian victories over the Greek? Maybe one about Cyrus the Great? :D
Cyrus? he's not even big here, the biggest persian leader known here is kourosh, the first leader know in polotics, and the most conqueror is daryoush who stretched iran from china to today's know turkish europian border,
alev :P
and modestly we always won against the romans! :D
Kourosh = Cyrus
Daryoush = Darius
At least that's how Europeans say their names. ;)
Well, we Huns beaten Romans, too. :D
